Tommorow morning (9.30am local) time, Australias "Great Race" will be run at Bathurst, New South Wales.
This is Australias premier domestic race. It consists of 161 laps of the trecherous 6.213 km (3.86 mile) Mt Panorama course.
If you get the opportunity to watch a bit (or all) of it, you will be impressed! The television coverage is second to none, and the racing is spectacular!
ost of the worlds racing camera techniques are pioneered in Australia, and each year they get better & better. Some of the top cars have up to 6 cameras in & around them. Sometimes they even get a driver to commentate whilst burning off a 2 minute 10 lap.
So load the esky & drop it next to your armchair & sit back for 6 1/2 hours of Ford verses Holden (GM) V8 adreniline pumping action!

While I was checking utube, I found this classic.
In 1978, Juan Fangio was invited to the Australian Grand Prix at Sandown Park to demonstrate his 1954 Mercedes Benz W196, a desmo valve straight 8. Jack Brabham was there in his 1966 Repco Brabham BT 19 (I think it's a 19 anyway), Bob Jane in his Masserati & Bill Patterson in his Cooper.
Fangio responded that he would not "demonstrate" his machine, he would attend & he would race it.........This is it:
