Built on the back of the legendary Holden and Ford rivalry, the annual race has made household names of Peter Brock, Allan Moffat, Dick Johnson and so many more, including the fearless women who have challenged the race. From its beginnings in the 1960s as a 500-mile race for standard production cars, the Great Race has evolved into an annual multi-million-dollar battle between purpose-built, millimetre-perfect V8-powered Supercars.
Globally recognised as one of the world's greatest motorsport events, the Bathurst 1000 remains an annual focal point for racers and fans alike as an iconic event on the calendar. The Royal Australian Mint is proud to mark six decades of Australia's most famous race.
