There has been a 500-mile or 1000-kilometre race at Mount Panorama every year since 1963 and since 1973 it has been for cars competing in the Australian Touring Car/V8 Supercar Championship Series.

In 1997 that tradition continued with the V8 Supercars contesting the primus 1000 Classic and the two-litre Super Tourers competing in the AMP Bathurst 1000. There were again two separate 1000-kilometre races in 1998 before the V8 Supercar Championship Series became the solo 1000-km race from 1999 onwards and also a round of the V8 Supercar Championship Series. From 2006 onwards the race winners have been awarded the Peter Brock Trophy in honour of the nine-time Bathurst Champion who was killed in an accident in September 2006.
