Expresson of Interest !!!!!!

BMWDCM have been invited to compete again at Challenge Bathurst 2026. 

Please read to the bottom as this notice contains important information 

Challenge Bathurst is an invitation-only regularity event and we are very lucky to be invited to join in again for 2026.  This is a fantastic opportunity to tick off one of your bucket list items and drive on one of the best circuits in the world.  You only need a level 2 or above Motorsport Australia licence, you don't need to have a fully prepared race car - any vehicle that you use at a normal sprint day will be eligible as long as it is a BMW and passes scrutineering.

This year we will be joining with the Z Car Club QLD to fill their 55 spots.  This will avoid small group numbers and maintain better driving standars.

The cost is 2180 per entrant which will be payable through ZCCQLD.  Your spot will only be secured once full payment has been received. 

All paperwork will need to be returned completed to ZCCQLD as well.

All EOI received will be forwarded to ZCCQLD on the 1st April who will take over registration management and once an acceptance email has been received by you,  your deposit will need to be paid to ZCCQLD secure your spot.

Once the full payment is made to Challenge Bathurst, all refunds and cancellations are subject to Challenge Bathurst's cancellation policy.  

What is a Regularity ?

A regularity is a timed competition event, where you nominate a lap time which you need to try to match each lap.  This is not racing door to door, but allows you to drive at a pace that is comfortable for you and your car. 

We will also need to supply 10 flag marshalls to help on the Thursday and Friday.   

Please watch this video.  

 We need your help, so please ask your fellow club members to come along and help out.  Arrive early and volunteer as a flag marshal and help those who normally help you drive.   Please remember without volunteers you cannot have fun on the track, so this is your way of giving back.  All volunteers will be offered free camping.Accommodation is available at the Uni at a fee.

Any drivers volunteering on the Thursday and Friday will be able to go through scrutineering on Wednesday. 

This is available to all current members of all invited BMW Affiliated clubs.

Not a BMW Club member? Easy, join here.

You will need to find your own accommodation and transportation to get there. 

   Full payment will be required on registration.

Full details will be sent out on the running of the event in July with further paperwork. 

ALL paperwork needs to be completed or you will be deemed as not entered and you will miss your spot. 

We will need volunteers to help run the team. If you are able to volunteer, or have someone in your family prepared to help, please register for that here.

 Please review the short YouTube video here, which may help you with your booking. 

Full Entry forms are not yet available.  We will send all the necessary paper work out as soon as we receive them.
