The 2026 Bathurst 12 Hour (commercially titled 2026 Meguiar's Bathurst 12 Hour) was an endurance race for FIA GT3 cars and invited vehicles, staged at the Mount Panorama Circuit, Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia on 15 February 2026. It was the opening round of the 2026 Intercontinental GT Challenge.
The race was marred by the first red flag in nearly a decade. Tsunami RT's Johannes Zelger in the GT3 Bronze class was involved in an incident with Volante Rosso Motorsport's Damien Hamilton in the GT3 Pro-Am class at ForrestâÂÂs Elbow. While the incident was minor, both Zelger and Hamilton were stopped in the turn. Team Craft-Bamboo Racing's Ralf Aron was leading the GT3 Pro field as they approached ForrestâÂÂs Elbow. Aron would end up colliding into Zelger's car at nearly full speed. The race was red flagged within a minute and was stopped for nearly an hour.
Aron would end up crawling out of his car and was transported to a regional hospital. The incident was criticized for a lack of flags giving warning in the run up to the stoppage at ForrestâÂÂs Elbow.
Entries were divided into classes based on car type and driver ratings.
