It hosted the tenth round of the 2024 Supercars Championship and took place at Mount Panorama-Wahluu in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia, featuring a single race of 1000 kilometres.

In addition to the twenty-four regular-season entries, two "wildcard" entrants joined the field – one from Triple Eight Race Engineering, and the other from Super2 team Matt Chahda Motorsport making their second appearance after 2022.

The session had been delayed due to an eastern brown snake entering the circuit at Forrest Elbow, but ultimately Pye's team-mate Jamie Whincup set the fastest time, two tenths shy of Payne's effort earlier in the day.

Bathurst debutant Cameron Crick crashed approaching Forrest Elbow, and Dylan O'Keeffe ended the session early having spun into the wall at Griffins Bend.

David Reynolds spun in the Esses and crashed head-on into the wall, whilst Will Davison slid into the fence at the Dipper with seconds remaining in the session – Nick Percat stopping to check on the 2009 and 2016 winner in the aftermath of a 58G impact.

Payne continued his form from Practice 1, setting the fastest time just six-thousandths of a second faster than Cameron Waters – Andre Heimgartner earned his first Top 10 Shootout berth in his 11th Bathurst 1000.

[15] Murray went fastest in Saturday-morning co-driver only practice in the Triple Eight wildcard entry, with Fabian Coulthard and Dale Wood caught out by a Full Course Yellow test.

[16][17] Feeney set the pace in the last session before the Shootout with a 2:06.1274, as Aaron Love backed his Mustang into the wall at the Cutting - his third Supercars Championship crash at the same corner in 9 months having done the same twice at the season-opening Bathurst 500.

[19] The Sunday morning warm-up was brought to an early end after Payne had a high-speed off into the sand at the Chase; issues also beset Blanchard Racing Team, with the Courtney/Perkins car not turning a lap due to a broken transaxle.

Garth Tander took over Payne's Mustang, but the five-time winner locked his front wheels and ran down the escape road at Murrays Corner having attempted a pass on Lee Holdsworth.

Cooper Murray's impressive run ended with a drive-through penalty for a safety car infringement, whilst Ryan Wood went off at Hell Corner and stalled trying to rejoin.
