A calendar re-shuffle has seen this year's Great Race pushed back a week and it will also now be the final round of the 2020 Supercars Championship.

Each year Forbes man Matt Drane and around 20 of his friends and family make the pilgrimage to Mount Panorama for Race Week and they've done so since 1995.

They have already paid out $760 for their two camp sites for this year's event, but are yet to hear anything official from Supercars on whether crowds will or won't be allowed.

Mr Drane said he'd be disappointed if crowds weren't allowed, but would understand why that decision had to be made.

"Everyone would be disappointed, but the world's changed with what you can do," he said.

"It's a good time, but in the end it's only a car race.

"This year has just been a write-off."

Mr Drane said it would be better off to run the race without crowds than not run it at all, and his group are still keen to take in some of the action even thought it may not be at the track.

"We're thinking about going camping somewhere else and just watch it on TV. The coverage is so good we'll get to see it all anyway," he said.

Meanwhile, the most senior police officer in Bathurst said he wants the Bathurst 1000 called off and that the COVID-19 risks outweigh the benefits.

Last week Supercars announced that ticketing options for the Bathurst 1000 were currently under consideration and would be announced in due course.

"Supercars will continue working closely with NSW Health, Bathurst Regional City Council, emergency services, broadcasters and the NSW Government on planning for the 2020 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000," Supercars CEO Sean Seamer said.

This year's Bathurst 1000 is scheduled to be held from October 15-18.
