Yup, Bathurst is actually bigger than all the Creventic races bar maybe Dubai... all the others are very much amateur only events with only single digit GT3-numbers. Which is kinda cool in its own right, as it gives the whole thing an old-school endurance racing flair with races being won by several laps and with comeback drives from mechanical or accident challenge still possible, but that isn't what Bathurst is about anymore.
