Bathurst Super2/Super3 grid to feature 22 cars

A 22-car field is set to form for the Super2/Super3 round at the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.

Each class will be comprised of 11 cars for the round which was called off at one point due to lack of entries caused by the hurdles of border closures.

Victorian-based Eggleston Motorsport is a notable omission from the Dunlop Super2 Series ranks, meaning title contender Brodie Kostecki will not race, but MW Motorsport’s Thomas Randle and Image Racing’s Will Brown will still fight for the title.

Neither Kurt Kostecki (Kostecki Brothers Racing) nor Tyler Everingham (Anderson Motorsport), the latter of whom is slated for the Garry Rogers Motorsport wildcard entry in the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 itself, will compete either.

Their absence has been offset in part by the expansion of Matt Chahda Motorsport to two cars, with Matt McLean joining Matt Chahda in the squad.

The reinstatement of the round has also drawn several new Kumho Tyre Super3 entries.

Mount Panorama marks just the second round of the third-tier class for 2020, with MW Motorsport’s Jaylyn Robotham leading Anderson Motorsport’s Declan Fraser after the Sydney Motorsport Park event.

The Bathurst round will feature a pair of 16-lap/100km races, one each on Friday and Saturday, with practice kicking off on Thursday, October 15.
