Track Info
Mount Panorama Circuit (Bathurst) - Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia
Public-road circuit closed for events - clockwise - epic elevation, blind crests and the flat-out Conrod Straight into The Chase
When was the track built?
Construction began in 1936 to create a hill-climb and road circuit on public streets above Bathurst. The course opened in April 1938 and has evolved with safety upgrades, the most famous being The Chase chicane added in 1987 to slow Conrod Straight. The road remains public outside events, so you can drive it at normal road speeds when races aren’t on.
When was its first race?
The circuit’s first race meeting was for motorcycles on 16 April 1938; two days later came the Australian Grand Prix for cars, won by Peter Whitehead. Those opening days set the tone for Bathurst’s mixed two- and four-wheel heritage.
What's the circuit like?
- Mountain section: From The Cutting up to Skyline you’ll find blind crests, off-camber entries and unforgiving walls - rhythm and confidence matter more than outright power.
- Gravity ride: The plunge from Skyline through The Esses and The Dipper compresses suspensions and punishes tiny errors into Forrest’s Elbow.
- Top-speed pay-off: Conrod Straight is one of the world’s great blasts; The Chase (since 1987) creates a heavy-braking pass zone right at the end.
- Public-road quirks: Surface changes, cambers and paint lines make grip evolve rapidly as rubber builds through an event.
- Benchmark pace: Official outright 1:59.291 (Mies, GT3). An even faster exhibition lap was 1:58.67 by the Brabham BT62 in 2019, not eligible as a record.
Lap records and benchmarks (by series)
- Official circuit record (unrestricted GT3): 1:59.291 - Christopher Mies, Audi R8 LMS, 2018 Challenge Bathurst.
- Fastest exhibition lap: 1:58.67 - Brabham BT62, 2019 Bathurst 12 Hour weekend demo (not an official record).
- GT3 - Bathurst 12 Hour pole: 2:00.8819 - Maro Engel, Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo, 2023.
- Supercars - qualifying (all-time): 2:03.373 - Chaz Mostert, 2021 Top 10 Shootout.
- Supercars - fastest race lap: 2:04.7602 - Chaz Mostert, 2019.
- S5000 - fastest race lap: 1:59.8375 - James Golding, 2021.
Why go?
Bathurst is a pilgrimage - the view from McPhillamy, the sunrise mist over the Mountain, and Conrod drafts that decide classics. The Bathurst 1000 in October and the Bathurst 12 Hour in summer are bucket-list weekends with packed campsites, manufacturer displays and non-stop drama.
Where's the best place to watch?
- Griffin's Bend and The Cutting: See commitment on entry and traction fights up the hill.
- McPhillamy Park: Panoramic views across the top - small mistakes turn into big slides.
- Skyline - The Dipper: The most dramatic elevation change on the lap.
- Forrest’s Elbow: Exit matters - it sets top speed all the way down Conrod.
- The Chase grandstands: Prime passing zone into heavy braking then the sprint to Murray’s and the flag.
Not just one race: Bathurst’s calendar
Supercars - Bathurst 1000: Australia’s Great Race - the touring car epic that made the Mountain famous.
Bathurst 12 Hour (GT3): A global endurance showcase - darkness starts, sunrise stints and record-breaking poles.
Supports and specials: Porsche Carrera Cup, S5000, Toyota 86 and historic categories regularly write new chapters on the same 6.213 km strip.
