Back to school in Repco's "Bringin' the Bathurst"

Starring Greg Murphy, Larry Perkins, Dick Johnson, Brodie Kostecki, David Reynolds, Thomas Randle, and musician Shannon Noll, the scene is a fictional Bathurst Driving School where students learn what it takes to tackle Mount Panorama and earn their ‘B’ plates.

Current series commentator Garth Tander conducts the class – until suddenly ousted by erstwhile ‘voice of Supercars’, Neil Crompton. Brodie Kostecki teaches the importance of maintaining no distance from the car in front and warns of on-track Bathurst hazards such as kangaroos – while his DJR team boss Dick Johnson cautions on the threat of errant rocks. Using his race shoe, David Reynolds teaches proper hydration; and 'five-minute-portaloo' Greg Murphy preaches the value of patience in such a long endurance race.

“Bringin’ the Bathurst is Repco’s way of sharing a laugh with race fans,” said Repco’s executive general manager of marketing, Mitch Wiley. “This year’s ad has plenty of familiar faces, moments and in-jokes that make Bathurst what it is. Keep your eyes peeled – there’s plenty in there.”
