Thumbs up Got 7 Hours to kill ? Bathurst 1000 LIVE on Motors TV

Greatest show on wheels as they say down under.

Best circuit on the planet imo, Skyline to Dipper is an awesome piece of road loved driving it inthe WRX and Hell corner is fantastic in a road car, as bland as it may look on TV, the scoob loved it, hence I'm a little biased.


Should keep you going until F1 qualifying at 02:00, then nip back for the end of the 1000 before catching the Jap GP

It is certainly an outstanding circuit. I have got it on the computer and its one of the circuits I really look forward to driving on.

Been driven around Mt Panorama in, of all things, a Hyundai Excel. Would love a go in something decent. Maybe I should take the Scoob on a road trip.

HSVs: check out this set of looney wheels Maloo R8.

Its a good race but not as exciting as it was. Its a shame V8 Supercars seems to have become a non-contact sport.

Have you seen how relatively cheap they are, on Autotrader £18K for 2.5 year old sub 30,000 miles, a 2 year old R8 would cost you about £27k in Oz

6 year old Monaro's with low miles going for under £8k, that is a serious consideration for a weekend car certainly couldn't afford the juice for the daily 90 mile commute !

Correct, it's a far better circuit than that


When we visited a mate in Sydney, we did the pilgrimage in a V6 Commodore
