“Seven has a deep connection with Mount Panorama over more than five decades,” said Saul Shtein, Head of Sport for Seven.
“We look forward to being the network of the 12 Hour. Great drivers and great cars on one of the world’s best racing circuits. Who could ask for anything else?”
“We are very happy to continue the longstanding relationship between the Seven Network and endurance motor racing at Mount Panorama,” added Event Director John Casey.
“Seven has been a vital partner in the growth of the race in recent years and in 2018 their viewers will see possibly the best Bathurst 12 Hour grid yet.
