Live Stream
V8 Supercars has a live streaming service, V8 Superview, however this service is only available to customers outside of Australia and New Zealand.
It offers a $14.95 Bathurst Pass which allows users to live stream the Bathurst 1000. Alternatively, there is a $39.95 Championship Pass which allows users to live stream every race on the 2015 V8 Supercars calendar.
If you’re looking to live stream the Bathurst 1000 within Australia, the only legitimate way to do so is via the Foxtel Go or Foxtel Play apps.
Foxtel Go is available for free if you already have an existing Foxtel service, however Foxtel Play is better for those only looking to access Foxtel services through live streaming, rather than have a traditional installation. It starts at $25 per month.
Every minute of the Bathurst 1000 is being shown on Foxtel, so you can watch the entire race via Foxtel Go or Foxtel Play.
