Season 1 • Episode 53
LatestHigh drama and a fiercely contested tactical tyre war electrify Mount Panorama from the opening lap. A series of high-speed accidents across the top of the mountain repeatedly bunches the field, turning the endurance classic into a high-tension sprint race. Navigating the chaotic pit-lane strategies flawlessly, Will Brown and Scott Pye deliver a masterfully poised drive to claim the ultimate prize and cement their place in mountain history.
The Bathurst 1000 is a 1,000.29 kilometres (621.6 mi) touring car race held annually on the Mount Panorama Circuit in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia. It is run as part of the Supercars Championship, the most recent incarnation of the Australian Touring Car Championship. In 1987 it was a round of the World Touring Car Championship. The race originated with the 1960 Armstrong 500 with a 500 mile race distance at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit; it was relocated to Bathurst in 1963 also with the 500 mile distance and has continued there every year since, extending to a 1,000 kilometer race in 1973. The race was traditionally run on the New South Wales Labour-Day long weekend in early October. Since 2001, the race has been run on the weekend following the long weekend, generally the second weekend of October.
