The hand-picked field is the biggest ever assembled for an endurance race at the famous Mount Panorama circuit, surpassing the previous record, 64, set by the 6 Hour back in 2017.
From an original 84 entries, the final 70-car entry list includes 15 different brands, 34 different models and more than 160 drivers.
There is some star power in those drivers, too, including reigning Bathurst 6 Hour and one of two Bathurst Triple Crown winners van Gisbergen.
The Kiwi will once again team up with Rob Rubis and Shane Smollen in a BMW M4.
Will Davison is set to make his 6 Hour debut alongside 2019 winners Beric Lynton and Tim Leahey.
Other big names on the grid include Tim Slade, Will Brown, Tony D'Alberto, David Russell, John Bowe and NASCAR race winner Marcos Ambrose, who will share a Mustang with George Miedecke.
The field is split across eight classes – Class X (Ultimate Performance), Class A1 (Extreme Performance Forced Induction), Class A2 (Extreme Performance Naturally Aspirated), Class B1 (High Performance Forced Induction), Class B2 (High Performance Naturally Aspirated), Class C (Performance), Class D (Production) and Class E (Compact).
The 2022 Bathurst 6 Hour will take place on April 15-17.
