Supercar stars Shane Van Gisbergen, Garth Tander and Steven Richards all turned out for the supersprint driving their GT3 cars as part of their preparations for the Bathurst 12 hour race next year.
Christopher Miles clocked the fastest time of 2.03.50 driving his Auld R8 while Shane Van Gisbergen clocked a time of 2.03.89 driving his Mercedes AMG GT3.
The event saw more than 400 participants take to Mount Panorama for four days of performance driving around the world-famous circuit.
Challenge Bathurst organiser James O'Brien said the event continues to grow each year.
"This is the fourth year we've run this event and we're maxed out in terms of how many cars we can invite to participate," Mr O'Brien said.
"Challenge Bathurst is the only event on Mount Panorama's calendar where amateur and professional drivers can test their own street and track cars outside of race meetings."
