The current official lap record at Bathurst is held by Christopher Mies, who set a time of 1:59.2910 during the 2018 Challenge Bathurst on 16 November 2018, driving a GT3-spec Audi R8 Ultra. This lap record was set during a sprint event, which qualified it as an official lap record. The fastest race lap is held by James Golding, who set a time of 1:59.8375 during the 2021 Bathurst 1000 event on 2 December 2021, driving a Ligier JS F3–S5000. However, this lap was not an official lap record because it was set during a race. It is worth noting that faster laps have been recorded at Bathurst, but they were not set during a race, so they do not qualify as official lap records.
