Bathurst NSW

The Mount Panorama Circuit, Bathurst, New South Wales may be familiar to you as the venue of the Bathurst 1000. I first saw this track in the late eighties when the Beeb covered this endurance touring car race on Grandstand.

Much like the Chevy/Ford rivalry in the States Bathurst has long been the place where Aussies saw their Ford/Holden loyalties played out, and these V8 muscle cars must be a real handful round Bathurst - I remember it as being bigger, but this onboard Elise lap shows just how snug the place is.

It also demonstrates just how close single-make racing is. Great stuff.
