The circuit
Mount Panorama at Bathurst is one of the world's most spectacular circuits: a 6.2 km public-road ribbon that climbs and plunges over a mountain, with the fearsome Esses at the top and a screaming drop down Conrod Straight. It hosts the Bathurst 1000, Australia's beloved 'Great Race' for Supercars, and the Bathurst 12 Hour GT enduro. Fans camp on the mountain and pack the town, which books out months ahead.
More endurance classics: Daytona, Imola, Nürburgring, Le Mans.
More in the same country: Albert Park, Phillip Island.
