Last Saturday night, I had the pleasure and the privilege of doing a few laps of the legendary mountain in Bathurst. That evening I was meant to head out up the Old Pacific Highway but in all the confusion, ended up following a Silvia club (You guys are tops) who were headed out to the mountains. Anyway, ended up in Bathurst and we all took our grid positions before taking off for a gentle 'warm-up' lap, in the dark mind you.
After getting a general idea of the circuit (which I know pretty well observing the touring car races and looking at the map) I deciced to throw the seca around a few of the corners and punch it on the straights. The best was on Hell Corner where I hooked it left at spped and drifted in the best way a FWD could. (wish someone was there to film it). The Dipper and the Esses just before Forest Elbow was also very cool, not to mention Conrod Straight 
I recommend people should see it close up so they can appreciate what a magnificent and legendary circuit it is. I can't imagine there being a more difficult track to throw 50 odd big V8's around up each others ass and so many blind corners, narrow passes and close in concrete barriers. would be great to go there for a fang during the day but I doubt that could ever happen. Do they ever have track days there? I understand it's a public road.
