The event was the 64th running of the
Bathurst 1000
, which was first held at the
Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit
in 1960 as a 500-mile race for Australian-made standard production sedans, and marks the 61st time that the race was held at Mount Panorama. It was the 25th running of the
Australian 1000
race, which was first held after the organisational split between the Australian Racing Drivers Club and
V8 Supercars Australia
that saw two "Bathurst 1000" races contested in both 1997 and 1998.
It was the first time in its history that the event took place during December, as well as it becoming a week long round.
