Mount Panorama Circuit
Australia's most famous motor racing circuit. On non-race days it is a public road, so you can drive a lap and go to the summit for a panoramic view of Bathurst.
The Mount Panorama Circuit is about 6.2 km long, with an elevation change of 174 m. It hosts the Bathurst 1000 touring car endurance race and is considered one of the most challenging circuits in the world. On non-race days, it is a public road with a 60 km/h speed limit, so visitors can drive around it. From the summit at MacPhillamy Park and the Skyline lookout, you can see all of Bathurst below. During race week, usually in October, tickets are required, and accommodation in town is in short supply.
