Australian motorsport event lands Seven exposure

Australian commercial broadcaster Seven has acquired rights for the 2015 Bathurst 12 Hour motorsport endurance event.

Seven will broadcast live coverage of all 12 hours of the race in Australia. 

Coverage will begin on Seven’s digital-terrestrial channel 7mate before switching to main channel Seven for at least the final three hours of the race.

A final split between the two channels will be announced closer to the event.

The agreement marks the first time that the entire Bathurst 12 Hour race will be broadcast live in the country.

The 2015 Bathurst 12 Hour race will take place from February 6-8.
