25.01.2022 The outright lap record at Bathurst’s Mount Panorama has been broken and not by a V8 Supercar. Danish driver Allan Simonsen, piloting a brand new Ferrari 458 Italia GT3, broke the 2:06.801 lap record set by Craig Lowndes in 2010 with a blistering 2:04.956. The lap shaves 1.8 seconds off the record, meaning it will likely stand for some time.... It appears that the Ferrari made up the time through higher cornering speeds and a much increased top speed down Conrod Straight in the region of 340km/h compared with a V8 Supercar top speed of around 290km/h. Simonsen was competing in the Ferrari at Sprint Bathurst 2011 - the car's inaugural event in Australia having only been delivered the week before. Also running laps in the 458 were Jason Richards (2:08.4452) and owner Peter Edwards (2:14.0237). The car is slated to compete in next year's Australian GT Championship and is also a contender for the 12 Hour enduro.

19.01.2022 DRIVE BATHURST 2012 - Statement from Trackcorp: For five consecutive years, starting in 2007, motorsport competitors have been able to enjoy our five day DRIVE BATHURST event at the Mount Panorama Circuit. Early last year we notified the circuit operator (Bathurst Regional Council) that we were exercising our option for a further five years. Council’s public records show they received our notification and that our event continues to grow in popularity and is ideally suited... in the November time slot. Since then we have repeatedly attempted to negotiate with Bathurst Regional Council in good faith for continued access to Mount Panorama, so that our event can continue to grow, building on the base established over the last five years. We have formally notified Bathurst Regional Council that we are ready, willing and able to conduct a November 2012 event. We are committed to continuing our efforts to achieve a fair and equitable outcome for our customers, our suppliers and the broader Bathurst community. We will provide details about DRIVE BATHURST 2012 as soon as Bathurst Regional Council confirms that the circuit is available.
