How to watch 2020 Bathurst 1000 qualifying live online
It might be an endurance race but grid positions can be crucial for the V8 Supercars at Bathurst 1000. This is when and how to tune in.
Qualifying is often a critical element of motorsport competition across the world. Firstly, grid positions can be vital to avoid tricky early turns and potential collisions depending on the circuit.
That is less so the case at Mount Panorama, the home of the Bathurst 1000, in a race that features 161 long laps. But qualifying can also give drivers an indication of how their car is running and, therefore, can provide a timely boost in confidence.
At Bathurst, the first qualifying session also determines positions for the Top 10 Shootout, which is then used to place the starting positions. These are your viewing options for this year's Bathurst 1000 qualifying session.

When is 2020 Bathurst 1000 qualifying?
Bathurst is running from 15–18 October in 2020, starting with a series of practice sessions on Thursday. The all-important qualifying session then starts at 4:05pm AEDT on Friday 16 October, a 40-minute session that will determine where the 25 cars will line up.
