Some time ago I believe that I saw a game that was being developed based on
Aussie touring cars and in particular Bathurst.

Anyone any info?

There was a game released a few years ago which only had bathurst, and
could be classed as the worst ever game. You had to pit every lap as you
couldnt last two laps without running outta fuel

I've also been waiting for "Dick Johnson's Touring Car Challenge" from Torus
too. Should be out soon. Also great news is that TOCA 3 will have Bathurst
and I think with V8's Woo Hoo!!!

OK, I'm dying to know. What is so great about Bathurst. The Aussies go
on and on about this track. Can someone point me to a web site that will
give me a good impression of what is so special about this mythical place?

I once saw a TV report about a touring car race there.
The track is apparently quite long (over 6 km), has a long straight
and some twisty uphill/downhill sections, with some similarities to
the Nuerburgring Nordschleife or Laguna Seca.

Two long straights with a tight climb up the side of a hill(er
mountain!)
The allure of Mount Panorama(where Bathhurst is run) is kinda like
Australia's LeMans or America's Ind...er Daytona.
My first exposure was on Speedvision. It was the only place where the
Super-
tourers of England and America joined up with the Aussies for a 6 hour
run.
However in Ozland itself, the V8 cars seem to be more popular.

I once walked barefoot along the entire Bathurst track in the middle
of the night and caught a cold. That was a pretty mythical experience.

is supposed to be released this year. Andrew.

here is a Holden cars site with a track map. Doesn't anybody have a
good search engine like metacrawler??

http://www.hsv.com.au/racing/tracks/bathurst97_map.htm

Pit straight is at the bottom. The track is relatively flat til
Griffin's bend and then the "climb" begins. Somewhere near the
two parks at the upper right the course begins to decend until
it hits the long Conrod straight. Perhaps it isn't the course
so much as the racers who have made the course famous.

One Ozzie describe the difference between the Super Tourers and the
V8's
the 2.0 litre cars seemed to crawl around the lower open portions of the
track
although he thought they did quite well in the hills, but the V8's
really shine
on those monster straights.
