Bathurst 1000 - The race that really stops a nation.
 

It's on now! V8 Supercars, a classic circuit, amazing history, and for this year, Troy Bayliss - although he qualified last row.

1000km - 6 hours, 7 pitstops, driver changes, wet weather, dry weather!

Just sitting down for a full 'english' to fill me up for a big day of motorsport on the box.

Try and catch it if you can!

Finished catching up on this last night. Pity Bayliss crashed out but he was a fair way in and got it a bit wrong at the top of the mountain, which is pretty treacherous! Some awesome driving though!

Watched it Sunday night and as usual an absolute corker of a race, especially with the safety car towards the end.

All the more special for me as I actually got to have a go round the track back in 2001, going off Skyline and dropping off the edge is just amazing.

As ever, TV does the elavation changes no justice at all.

Like Cadwell in reverse and dropping down the mountain....:lol:

I rode a few laps on my Suzuki Across when I was posted to Sydney - awesome!

Watching it now - awesome circuit

don't you just love working from home!!
