Bathurst 12 Hour sessions remain as per last year beginning with four practice sessions on Friday, each of 40 minutes duration, and Practices 2 and 4 for Bronze drivers only.
Saturday again features a further two 60-minute practices before a three-part qualifying, where the field is first split into upper and lower 50 percent groups before a final 15-minutes for the fastest 10.
The Sunday race start time of 5:45am is also unchanged.
There are just two support categories: the new Ferrari Challenge Australasia and Duggan Family Hotels Combined Sedans and Sports Cars.
Supercars will also utilise two hours of track time for further category testing with a pair of Gen3 cars.
