Drive Bathurst!

There are always a few things you dream of doing but never think they'll be possible.

Having followed motorsport in Australia since the mid 1970's - especially the annual long distance race at Mount Panorama, Bathurst - I got to do one of those things in December, 2007: Hotlap Mount Panorama with champion drivers Jim Richards and Alex Davison as a part of the DriveBathurst event. Without doubt it was an immensely thrilling and personally satisfying experience.

Over the coming weeks I'll post more on the Bathurst experience, including images and video. I've always wanted a place to rant about motorsport so will do most likely end up doing that here too.

Great pictures Pete, really enjoyed reading about Bathurst. It is one of my favorite tracks in the virtual world of online simuracing.

Thanks for stopping by guys! I should have the video of the hotlaps within the next week. It'll be interesting to see how it compares to my memory of the experience!
