Brock’s round-the-clock challenge to win for a tenth time on Mount Panorama will be shared between three of Holden’s V8 Superstars – Kmart Racing’s Greg Murphy, Holden Racing Team’s Todd Kelly and from Brock’s own V8 stable, Jason Bright.
The awesome foursome will campaign Brock’s Nation’s Cup Holden Monaro in a race gaining international statue since its debut last year.
The 2003 Bathurst 24-hour, on November 22-23, was launched in Sydney today.
Garth Tander, Nathan Pretty, Steven Richards and Cameron McConville will defend their 24-hour crown in the second of the Garry Rogers-prepared Monaros.
And three leading Ford V8 Supercar drivers, not yet named, are likely entrants for Paul Stokell’s Lamborghini assault.
Brock says a return to his field of dreams in the seven-litre Monaro is “one of life’s great opportunities.”
“Our driver line-up is a tremendous combination of speed and experience and a great mix of personalities," the 58-year-old said.
“There are no clashes there and that is what you need when trying to win a race like this – it’s vital everyone works toward the same goal.”
