Watch this weekend's Bathurst 12 Hour - the opening round of the 2020 Intercontinental GT Challenge - in full, live and for free, on Autosport.

A record nine manufacturers have committed to this year's IGTC, which begins at the the epic Mount Panorama circuit.

The race commences before dawn on Sunday morning Australian time and runs right through the day to an early evening finish.

Absolute Racing's #911 Porsche will start the race from pole thanks to defending winner Matt Campbell's shootout lap in an eventful qualifying, crashes in which have ruled a number of cars out of Sunday's race.
