Daylight Saving and Bathurst 1000

Don't Forget


Put your clocks forward 1 hour tonight.


Summer is on its way!

...and tomorrow it is the Bathurst 1000 from Mount Panorama, a shadow of its former self but I shall probably watch it.

Why is it a shadow of what it was? What have they done with it?

Let me count the ways:
  • They have put concrete walls all round the track.
  • Added a chicane at the end of the long straight.
  • Use a safety car.
  • The V8 Supercars are fake cars ie nothing like the cars you can buy and which they pretend to be.
  • They did away with the classes and amateur drivers.


When it was a proper race with proper cars on a public road.
