Bathurst Motor Festival

The Bathurst Motor Festival was an annual motor racing event held at the Mount Panorama Circuit in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia during the Easter long weekend. The event was first held in 2011 as a replacement for the Festival of Sporting Cars and as a way to give a higher number of drivers the opportunity to drive on the circuit. The event played host to a variety of racing categories, including production cars, sports cars, open-wheel racing cars and historic cars, which took part in sprint races, endurance races and regularity sessions. Around 300 vehicles were entered for the event each year, with crowds of up to and over 10,000 people attending the event. Car clubs also attended the event, displaying their cars within the confines of the circuit and performing parade laps.

In 2016, the Bathurst 6 Hour production car race was introduced as the showpiece race of the event. The Festival was not held after 2016 although the Bathurst 6 Hour continues to be staged.
