Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Bathurst 1000.....

It’s an annual event for hundreds of thousands of fans down here in New Zealand and Australia. The nation’s fans are either glued to their TV screens or there in attendance. They say the two countries actually stop for the event. I’ve attended once and driven the track (in a rental car). We stayed at a ‘school camp’ accommodation site (just off conrod straight). Walking back up hill on the track after hours, proved how steep it is at Forest Elbow. You don’t really get the same impression of the gradient by watching the race on TV. New Zealand drivers over the years have done really well at Bathurst. The last Ford vs Holden race takes place in 2022 and then the new Generation 3 cars (Ford Mustang vs Chevy Camaro) take the race to a new level from 2023.
