Mount Panorama is bollocks without a 1966 post, ozzies.

Yes ozzies, sort your life out, post 1966, somewhere.

Cheers mickmini.

Australian car enthusiasts and Bathurst fans know that there was no car racing prior to the invention of the big aussie V8 in 1967. Prior to that a few kiddies used to borrow their Mum's cars and do a few laps, but it wasn't a real race.

Actually the crime is that Channel 7 who make a fortune off Bathurst are so ignorant of history - or assume we are - to show Toranas and Monaros in 1965 when in reallity they're weren't even a gleam in the marketeers eyes at that time.

Crap.

Cheers, Ian

Did someone sware and mention V8s? Gas guzzling fat tyred sheds driven by ahem! drivers with small parts!

Anyway, nothing wrong in borrowing mothers shopping car for a weekend race - they never notice the dents, bald tyres and blue smoke coming out the back on monday morning like dads do.

Mums' shopping carts still get to play at Bathurst occasionally
... and it's still an awesome bit of road.
