It's a week-long festival of racing, with the pair contesting Supercars Super 2, while Boys has also entered the S5000 series.

He won the Super 2 event at Mount Panorama in February, while Chahda finished third.

"There's so much Australian motorsport history that's happened up here, you watch on telly as a kid and it still gives you goosebumps when you first head out," Boys suggested.

"Then on top of that it's an incredible track, fast, undulating and the run cross the top is unique for any track in the world."

Boys isn't worried about his lack of racing, due to COVID.

"We had a run at Sydney last weekend, which was great to blow out the cobwebs a bit, especially before you come to a place like Bathurst where a small mistake can end in a big accident, but we've been here a few times now so it shouldn't take long to find a rhythm," he said.

Chahda has similar sentiments about the privilege of racing at Australia's most famous track.

"There's nothing like it, it's my second favourite track, after Adelaide," he revealed.

"It's special no doubt about that. It's funny though, I don't really get a sense of it all until I drive out on it that first time for the week, then it all hits me."

Chahda is having his best season in the Supercar feeder category and is still a chance of winning the title.
