Like many sporting competitions around the country, the Super2 Series and Supercars divisions have been suspended due to COVID-19 since July 17-18 when Townsville hosted back to back rounds of racing.

For Everingham, the end of the break is almost here.

"It's been a long break," Everingham said.

"Hopefully we get back to it soon but it's been a little bit tough.

"I've been fortunate enough to continue working as an essential worker so that's been good."

Everingham has also taken part in the Supercars E-Series, competing virtually against some of the best drivers in the country.

After driving in the 2020 Bathurst 1000, Everingham is hoping he can return to Mount Panorama later this year for another chance.

"Just wait and see how things pan out," he said.

"I'd definitely love an opportunity to look at a co-drive for the Bathurst 1000 so that's sort of a goal.

"We will wait and see how things pan out for the rest of the year."

Bathurst will now host a six-day motorsport festival including the Great Race which will bring some of the best drivers in the world to the region.

Everingham is excited to get back to racing and hopes to be able to feature at one of the biggest race events in the world.

"Absolutely," he said.

"It gets the blood pumping and gets me excited,"

"It's going to be a little bit tough running into Bathurst after the big break.

"But everyone will be in the same boat."

Everingham is currently running sixth in the Super 2 series on 546 points trailing leading Broc Feeney who recently signed to step up into the Supercars series.

The Bathurst 1000 is scheduled to take place after a massive break for drivers with the dates confirmed to be from November 30 through to December 5.
