Rev-heads rejoice: It’s Bathurst week and you’re sorted with Fox Sports on Foxtel or with Kayo!

For a pure Aussie rev-head it doesn’t get much better than this week. The Bathurst 1000, Australia’s Great Race at one of the world’s great race-tracks.

At the stroke of midnight last night it all began, with Channel 506 on Foxtel becoming a dedicated Bathurst channel for the 2019 event.

We’re getting into the action here at EFTM HQ with the 2002 race up on the wall TV!:

While many of you might not have Foxtel, don’t worry, Kayo has you covered. That $25 monthly subscription has never been more worth it – and if you haven’t tried it, the free 14 day trial couldn’t be better timed.

You’ll get every session live, plus there’s a bunch of on-demand shows and classic races too.

And for those that can’t make every session timing work with their family or workplace schedule, Kayo has every session across Four Days available on-demand too.

Kayo’s real big advantage comes in how they configure the “feeds” they get access to.

“RaceView” returns with four camera angles on show at one time, plus there are six live bonus feeds on race day.

Kayo has a Heli-Cam channel, while Race Centre shows you all the data you need.

But here’s the coolest idea from Kayo – knowing how tribal the Holden vs Ford rivalry is, they’re launched a Holden or Ford Co-Pilot camera feed. This feed will rotate through the drivers for each manufacturer across Qualifying, the Top 10 and the 1000km Race.

Fantastic stuff, and great value.

For those of you with Foxtel, it’s a pretty epic week of coverage.

Every session will be live – you can guarantee that, here’s how the whole week looks:

From Monday, October 7 at 12.00am – the dedicated channel switches on and viewers can build up to the Bathurst 2019, and over a full day can relive all the classic races, legendary cars and drivers that have taken on the mountain.
