    I first came from Scotland to Bathurst in 1993 and then again in 1994 and 1995. Drove the track in a Holden V8 UTE and a V8 Commodore in 94. Have been back over the years for 10 trips in total and was there last year and now living in Perth and own my own piece of Aussie V8 motoring history, 2 Commodore V8's. Bathurst is an awesome place if you are a petrol head.

    Enjoyed your video of driving around Mount Panorama in the Monaro. It’s a lot of fun. I went there for the first time in 2022 and took part in the Falcon Tribute Cruise. Had photographers there taking photos of everyone driving around the track. Really enjoyed the day and looked through the museum like you did. Now I go back each year for the same event. Always look forward to it. Thanks for the video.

    Took a drive on that track 10 years ago in a 2-door Jeep Wrangler [ie: NOT a race car]. Coming off the top of the mountain at the legal speed limit of 60 km/h & then spooling down through the esses, I was seriously hanging-off the steering wheel and working the brakes vigorously on the way to Conrod Straight; made me appreciate how much skill those guys possess in order to effortlessly pull that off at three times the speed in a race car.

    Also talking with a tattoo artist to do a tribute on my right foot (accelerator foot) with my lap time in an outline on the track and leave enough room inside the map to put down a new time should i ever walk the track again and beat my time

    Dude seriously for those that are less than educated about Australian Motorsport history you need to take the time to research what your looking at. The VB commodore sitting next to the Marlboro VK is the repco round Australia rally car that brock drove to victory in some of the most arduous and shocking roads in Australia. He lost 10 kilos of weight during the event because of the heat. No air conditioned campers and ice baths like the current batch of clowns that drive the supercar go karts. Just pure guts and talent. Long live the king 🤴
