Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 V8 Supercars

Here is a link to the XXXX GOLD BYO Retreat Campsite Competition

The Octagon crew were out in force at the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 V8 Supercar event activating a variety of sponsor programs on the weekend.

It was a hive of activity at the XXXX GOLD Retreat where thousands flocked to watch the many performances by the XXXX Angels and visits by XXXX Ambassador Drivers Greg Murphy, Jamie Whincup, Mark Winterbottom and Garth Tander. Skysports Big Sports Breakfast had a Live OB from the XXXX GOLD Retreat on Thursday and Friday morning while hosts TK & Slats braved the cold and hosted a BBQ for the many fans.

XXXX GOLD hosted a campsite competition for all Bathurst campers where they were encouraged to create their own XXXX GOLD Retreat with the most innovative and creative campsite winning a trip for 5 to the Sydney Telstra 500 event. Over 150 campsites entered the competition with the top 3 being filmed by Ch7 and included as part of the Saturday Broadcast just prior to the Top 10 Shootout. The winners creation “Camp PI” included a spa and deck with full plumbing and heated water from two drums over a fire, a games area, Bar with plasma and stools plus a seafood smorgasboard on the BBQ. XXXX GOLD also gave away over 200 couches on the top of Mt Panorama which saw fans lining up for hours to secure one.

In addition to the XXXX GOLD activity, Octagon was also involved with managing the King Gee, King of Crews Pit Crew Challenge. This includes a full size V8 Supercar in a Pit scenario where fans have the opportunity to race against the clock and their partner in a Pit Crew challenge with full pit facilities including rattle guns. Teams of two race against each other and are required to change two tyres in as little time as possible. The team with the lowest time overall will be flown to Sydney for the Sydney Telstra 500 where they will be up against the Pit Crew from Supercheap Auto in a Pit Crew Challenge Finale. The stand was a huge success with hundreds of people taking part across the weekend.
