Bathurst 1000: Marshal’s Eye View
This year, we decided to do a track walk with a difference - take in Mount Panorama from the marshal's eye view. They have the best seat in the house, but they also have to deal with the best and very worst of the weather, for long hours over a massive race week. On numerous occasions over the years, races have been slowed or stopped due to terrible conditions with rain or fog descending on Mount Panorama, with the line of sight between flag points sighted as a major safety issue. Hopefully, through this gallery, you can get a better

IN EVERY respect, the Repco Bathurst 1000 is Australian Motorsport’s showpiece event. It’s part of the Australian sporting fabric, a day as intrinsically etched in the sporting conscious as the various Footy code Grand Finals, the Melbourne Cup, the Boxing Day test and the Aussie open.

TRT has collated more than 15 years’ worth of TV ratings data from the Great Race to
