The V8 cars have been practicing today and will later do the Top 10 Shoot-out for pole position. I love watching the Big Race and have watched it every year. Below is a map of the track, I'd love to wheel around Mount Panorama Circuit one day and go to the bathurst 1000 race live.
Practice Runs today
Team Kiwi Racing have been dealt a major blow ahead of Sunday's Bathurst 1000 after a serious crash resulted in Chris Pither's car being withdrawn from the race on Mt Panorama.
V8 Supercar driver Paul Weel is expected to be cleared of any serious injury following the heavy accident during practice this morning. Weel, 29, had to be extracted from his car after an accident involving Pither that left him with lower back pain. He was airlifted to a nearby hospital for precautionary tests.
The accident occurred near the McPhillamey Park area of the Mount Panorama circuit. Weel had made contact with a safety barrier and slid sideways onto the track. Pither approached from behind and collided with the rear drivers' side door. Pither walked away unhurt. Weel was fully conscious throughout the ordeal and was talking to the medical team. The lower back pain meant the medical team decided to airlift the PWR driver. Both cars have been withdrawn from the weekend due to the extensive damage.
