Triple Eight Supercars Stars Confirmed for Bathurst 12H

Triple Eight Race Engineering has unveiled its Pro class lineup for the Repco Bathurst 12 Hour, featuring Supercars stars Broc Feeney and Will Brown.

The Australian pair will share Triple Eight’s No. 888 Mercedes-AMG GT3 with Mikael Grenier for the Intercontinental GT Challenge opener on Feb. 16-18, with the car sporting the black-and-yellow colors of National Storage.

Feeney was part of Triple Eight’s Pro entry at Bathurst last year alongside Maximilian Gotz and Shane van Gisbergen, the trio qualifying second and finishing fifth.

“The Bathurst 12 Hour is one of my favorite events of the year, so I can’t wait to get back there,” said Feeney. “The National Storage car looks awesome and I can’t wait to see it around the mountain.

“Last year, we qualified on the front row which was awesome, but we lacked in the race, so hopefully a bit more experience from myself and the team with these cars will help, and the goal is to be right up there at the end of the race against some super-fast guys in the field.

“It’s going to be challenging, but that’s why I love this race – you race against the best guys in the world on home soil.”

Brown meanwhile will be making his Triple Eight debut in the Bathurst 12H, a week ahead of the opening round of the Supercars season at the same location.

He last contested the Bathurst 12H in 2022 in a Team Nineteen Corporation Mercedes alongside Jack Perkins and Mark Griffith in the Pro-Am class.

“It’s been great here at Triple Eight so far,” said Brown. “It’s obviously a massive change for me this year moving teams, and now doing the Bathurst 12 Hour, it’s a lot to take in very early in the year.

“It’s not my first time at the 12 Hour, but it’s going to be my first race with Triple Eight. It allows myself to work closely with the team before we get to the first Supercars event the weekend after, so even though we’re going there to try and win the 12 Hour, it’s a great way for me to familiarize myself with the entire team.”
