Mount Panorama, one of the most iconic circuits in the world, makes its way into iRacing on October 29, 2013, during the 2013 Season 4 build. Known universally as Bathurst, the Australian circuit is synonymous with endurance, danger, and raw speed. Its release in iRacing instantly adds one of motorsport’s most legendary battlegrounds to the sim’s roster.
The track’s reputation is forged through events like the Bathurst 1000 and the Bathurst 12 Hour, and its iRacing counterpart delivers every bump, crest, and concrete-lined challenge in laser-scanned detail.
What makes Bathurst unique in iRacing
