Watch Lap 1 from 2008 to see why Bathurst is so amazing.

Here are some pics from the thread i made last year.




Pictures from the track. Notice how close the walls are. Remember that this is typically public road.

Excuse me...how is that better?

It cuts out before they reach Chase which is the scariest corner on the track and even if they did show it, an Elise wont be taking it at 300 KPH.

+ an onboard with Lowndes would have been just as impressive in terms of going through the field.

Yeah that video is boring.

I still say they make NASCAR like V8 Super Touring cars.

I'll be following this event for sure! :goodjob::goodjob::goodjob:

Bathurst is a great track, but scary at speed.

Have you heard of the plan to bring superbikes there?

It won't be on the mountain circuit used for the 1000 and 12 hour since they have to close down public roads for that but a new section to the west side of the track.

Yes, i know it will not be the same but really, who in their right mind would ride Bathurst 10/10 on a bike?

I'm so happy i managed to watch the whole thing live. Was great as always.

Got a new sig. Its great cause even though the Holden is at Skyline, you can still see the runup from Conrod straight to Chase at the bottom of the mountain in the pic. This place is incredible.
