Bathurst 1000, Mt. Panorama
One of the great races anywhere, anytime, and I'll be darned if I can find it on a TV schedule this year. It's this weekend. Does anyone have any idea which network, if any, will televise it? I'd sure hate to miss this great racing.

I watched part of it a couple of years ago right before an F1 race and really enjoyed it. I am sure you can find it on some not quite kosher streaming website.
It's a great track to race in Real Racing 3 on my iPad.

TV does it no justice. It really is a hell of a race track. Very steep, very narrow through the cuttings and most of the apexes are blind. A very fast, technical and unforgiving track. I have driven around it a number of times, and competed there one at a state hillclimb event.
The support races such as the Musclecar Masters, Commodore Cup and HQ Racers are often more entertaining than the main event.

I watched it in the US in 2011 on Speed.
I'm not 100% sure that it's free, but I think you can sign up and stream coverage here. I've watched local races online and never had to pay for it, though.

I don't think they have a paywall or geoblocking on the stream but if they do just use a vpn or proxy service, like we have to do to access US internet.

I Have seen the Bathurst race there a couple of times on the tube and agree, great race track and usually exciting race with the V8 super cars. Great series.
Let us know if you find it to view. Cheers Richard. |

Pretty sure I watched it last year via the organizer's website and with audio commentary provided by the Radio LeMans guys. Don't think it was on television. It looks like madness and I can't wait to visit someday.
