Repco has just launched its latest ‘Bringin’ the Bathurst’ TV ad.
The leading supplier of automotive parts and accessories in Australia and New Zealand has just premiered its latest annual blockbuster television advert, which celebrates Repco’s passion for motorsport and the arrival of the Repco Bathurst 1000 endurance race.
“September means one thing for us and it’s not the AFL finals,” said Mitch Wiley, Executive General Manager, Marketing at Repco.
“The Repco Bathurst 1000 roars to life next month. As always, Repco’s annual Bringin’ the Bathurst TV ad is our way of celebrating with our fellow fans our shared passion for motorsport and Australasia’s most famous motor race.”
This year’s Repco Bringin’ the Bathurst TV ad was shot at Australasia’s holy grail of motor racing, the famed Mount Panorama Circuit, which was closed for recording under controlled conditions.
The ad comedically portrays a holidaying couple taking a tour of Bathurst’s sacred racetrack, but –spoiler alert- they end up with a bit more adventure than they expected.
The advert includes a big cast of motor racing stars from Australia and New Zealand, including Jim Richards, Greg Murphy, Matt Payne and reigning Bathurst 1000 winner, Todd Hazelwood.
In a surprise twist, Repco has reunited former Supercars drivers Greg Murphy and Marcos Ambrose in this latest Bringin’ the Bathurst campaign. It’s been 20 years since the pair met at Mount Panorama after their infamous crash and (ahem) heated exchange at The Cutting in 2005.
Mitch Wiley: “After 20 years, Repco decided these two racing legends needed to close the door on Supercars’ most famous argument, so we approached them both and were thrilled they were happy to be part of it.”
Racing fans will also enjoy some extra little surprises in Repco’s big new TV ad. They bring to life Repco’s connection to the Bathurst enduro and give a nod to some of its historic moments.
This year’s Bringin’ the Bathurst ad was produced by Repco in conjunction with leading Australian creative marketing agency Thinkerbell.
The 2025 Repco Bathurst 1000 race takes place at the Mount Panorama Circuit from 9 –12 October 2025.
Keep your eyes peeled for the Repco Bathurst Tour Bus at Mount Panorama if you’re trackside at this year’s Great Race.
