Bathurst 12 hour
For those interested, the Bathurst 12 hour is on this weekend.
Currently about 40C out there now so I will wouldn’t like to be pushing a car around! Should be, as always, some good racing with the top ten shoot out in about an hour and half. https://www.bathurst12hour.com.au/ |

I've lost touch since I last saw it and don't know where all these 911's and other sports cars have come from |

We have what is called Supecars. This is the Mustangs and Commodores which race a series throughout the year with the Bathurst 1000 in October and we have a race in my City. https://www.supercars.com/bathurst1000/ Actually there is also a six hour which is for production cars. http://www.bathurst6hour.com.au/ |

This is a race and track that I'd love to visit one day. Definitely plan on heading out there if I ever make it to Australia. I love watching the GT and Supercars race here, one of my favorite races all year long.

Definitely have to visit if you get the chance. I was lucky as I went to Uni in Bathurst so had many chances to drive around it
Two things that you will notice:- 1) how steep the gradient is from griffins bend to the cutting, it is 1:6.13. 2) how close the concrete walls are to the track. Also, it's a public two-way road with a speed limit of 60km/h when there is no racing being conducted. |

Too bad the kangaroo ruined it for the M6
