Question; If Bernie and Max will let F1 run the streets of Monaco why won't they let F1 run Panorama instead of Melbourne? If you can master Bathurst you've earned your "attachments"......soft walls, indeed!

Videos of Bathurst do not do the gradient any justice. You truely are climbing up and down the side of a mountain. Also there are several 'humps' on the track which would severely interupt the downforce dynamics of a F1 cars. No doubt you would see a few F1s flipping over. In the video in this thread you can hear the driver actually back off when going over the first one on Mountain straight.

But I agree...a brilliant racetrack

There's 12 NSW drivers who had the opportunity to do Mount Panorama for about 4 laps behind a pacecar ( John Goss in the Green XJS) at the inaugural Easter International Motorfest in 2006. Acecob was one, so was I. Beats playstation any day and the smiles on faces after that demo run:c ool:
