Bathurst: The Most Underrated Track

Nurburgring, the streets of Monaco, Laguna Seca. Any self-respecting race fan has heard of and fantasized about driving these courses and venues. But not many people have heard of Bathurst, officially known as the Mount Panorama Circuit in New South Wales.

The legendary (to Aussies and Kiwis) track is home to Australian V8 Supercars' Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, which is held every October. Words, and pictures, cannot describe why this venue is so exciting. Hopefully, the following hand-picked videos will convey the nerves, stamina, and concentration it takes to complete just one lap here.
