2020 MRF Tyres Excel Bathurst Challenge – Competitor Update

MRF Tyres are excited to announce that the Excels will be back at Bathurst as part of the revised ARG 6-hour event in November 2020. While the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the traditional Easter event being postponed, ARG in conjunction with Mentor tyres have been working behind the scenes to ensure all competitors who had entered would be able to participate in the Bathurst International in November.

With a revised format, the new for 2020 event will be hosting a range of categories including TCR, LMP3, S5000, TCM, TA2 and APC providing excitement and plenty of opportunities for Excel competitors to enjoy this marquee event both on and off track. Given the revised timing, entries have also reopened to competitors who may have missed out in the first round or who may not have met the minimum age or licence requirements in time for Easter.

“MRF Tyres would like to thank ARG for making it possible to hold the MRF Tyres Excel Challenge as part of the Bathurst International event” said Vivek Ponnusamy, CEO of Mentor Tyres, the exclusive importer of MRF Tyres for Australia and New Zealand.

“We would also like to thank each and every competitor for understanding and lending their support during these tough times and without them, this wouldn’t have been possible. The tyres are ready and everyone at MRF is looking forward to a mega event! With motorsport activities beginning to resume, MRF Bathurst tyres are also available for testing so please get in touch with us to order.”
