Hope they have the rear wishbone problem sorted because I think there are places round Mt Panorama that could cause the same sort of stresses they suffered at SMSP with potentially more serious results.
Bring it on, hopefully it is the start of a fan conversion to real racecars.

Well here is a taster OT..... from today, James Golding takes you for a flat-out tour of Mount Panorama in his Team Valvoline GRM S5000.
As to the times, already very close to breaking the 2 minute mark. Mawson was quickest on a 2:00.8702s today, just shy of the official Bathurst lap record, a 1:59.2910s, set by Christopher Mies during the 2018 Challenge Bathurst aboard an Audi R8 LMS GT3.

Edit: that is quicker than the F3 lap record by a couple of seconds give or take.... that was set by Simon Hodge in a Mygale M11-Mercedes-Benz with a 2:02.6701 back in April 2014
