Video: My 260 Z at Bathurst Easter 2012

• 260ZDatsun at Bathurst Easter 2012 Bathurst is the iconic Australain road race circuit. The following is from Wikipedia.
  The track is 6.213 km (4 mi) long, and is technically a street circuit, as the circuit is a public road when no racing events are being run, and there are many residences which can only be accessed from the circuit.
  The track is an unusual design by modern standards, with a 174 metre (570 foot) vertical difference between its highest and lowest points, and grades as steep as 1:6.13. From the start-finish line, the track can be viewed in three sections; the short pit straight and then a tight left turn into the long, steep Mountain straight; the tight, narrow section across the top of the mountain itself; and then the long, downhill section of Conrod Straight, with the very fast Chase and the turn back onto pit straight to complete the lap.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Bathurst is 3 and a half days drive from Perth towing the Z and doing about 600 miles a day. I enjoyed it so much that I will be going back again this Easter.

This year I hope to have some better quality incar video from my new Go-Pro.
