Ummmm...a little background never hurt anyone...did it??
If you hire a car from Manly, and considering you probably don't know where you're going allow 3 hours for the drive there. From Penrith to Bathurst is just about bang on 200km, then say 50 to manly? 500km round trip so if you hire say, a 4 cylinder you'll end up needing 2 tanks of fuel by the time you refill it to give it back so also allow about $140 for fuel.
If you can only pick one day out of thursday or friday, go on friday.
Last year there was only 1 V8Supercar practice on thursday, whereas friday has 2 practices (albeit 1 is the co-driver session, but will still have the likes of the Kelly brothers, Whincup etc on track ) as well as qualifying. If you are serious about going you should also consider trying to find accomodation NOW, but even then I don't like your chances too much - for the race weekend I suppose count on at least $120ish for the night.
'tis about all I can think of .....

AFAIR....for one day at a time entry, they ask you to pay for a four day pass then refund the unused portion when you return at days end.
Podd...can I suggest that you keep in touch and when closer to the event see who can help you out....there may even be a bed in a campsite at the track offered....Cheers, Mick
