An enhanced television deal with V8 Supercars broadcaster Channel Seven
will see more WPS Bathurst 12 Hour action than ever before splashed
across Australian television screens next year.
As the feature act of the 2008 WPS Bathurst Motor Festival to be
held over February 8-10, the WPS Bathurst 12 Hour will enjoy an
extended highlights package with three-hours of coverage set to be
screened in March on Channel Seven.
The three-hour time slot sees the coverage duration increased by an
hour on the telecast obtained for the 2007 Race – reflecting the WPS
Bathurst 12 Hour’s growing popularity since its revived running in
Easter of this year.
“I am delighted that we have been able to come to an arrangement
with Seven which will see even more of the WPS Bathurst 12 Hour action
shown across the country on free to air television,” said Event
Director James O’Brien.
“The extended post-produced program will offer viewers a better
chronological story of the Race and deliver additional exposure to
competitors and sponsors”
The 2008 WPS Bathurst Motor Festival will be held at Mount Panorama
on February 8-10, incorporating the WPS Bathurst 12 Hour on Sunday
February 10.
