Bathurst 1000 ๐๐ฆ
Today is Australia's biggest motorsport day with the running of the Bathurst 1000 at Mount Panorama.
I have some friends who have gone this year and are having a great time, i am planning on going next year with a couple of other mates.
They are staying on the edge of the track in a hotel which is rather handy, below is a shot they took on the first night there.

The race itself is 1000 kilometers long and normally takes around 6 hours to complete, 2 drivers per car who would share the driving duties.
The track is 6.2K in length which means they do 161 laps to make up the 1000K.

Here is my mate Jeff standing at the end of conrod straight the lucky fecker.
I will be watching it on TV here in New Zealand and decided to chuck a random bet on, you never know what is going to happen so i decided to go for a bit of an outsider.
Today is Sunday here and i have been for 2 x walks this morning, for the rest of the day i will be watching most of the race.
Thanks for reading my post today!

Hey @kiwiscanfly, how did you get the photo of starting line to show up but it is not in your post? Or did this happen because I am at the old DSL speed of 128kbps?
The south Carolina big one is on here today for NASCAR. I may watch that, odd how the State was completely destroyed by Milton the Monster Hurricane but, The race must go on!
Shows up for me
Yeah monster hurricane but lets go racing LOL
Thank you very much :)
Have a good day
Hello sir, this is interesting. I have been watching cars and bikes racing on TV alone and I have never watched it live at the scene before.
This game is not so popular in my country, but I enjoy it. Infact most games on my phone are either bike or car racing, example "Dr.drive".
I wish your friend success.
Though this game is not popular in our country , I have seen this on tv many times.... It's very interesting.
