Don't worry about Steely ALTRAV, that is typical. Google a bit of trivia, then make a fool of yourself posting as if you know something about the subject.

Yes Bathurst did become dangerous for light [1140 Lbs.] cars doing over 180 MPH, in the late 60s. The surface was far too rough, & the cars had outgrown it.

When I won the Bathurst 100 in the Formula 1 Brabham Repco, I was not in complete control at 180+ mph down conrod, 99% perhaps, but not complete control. As I was not prepared to be killed by a badly patched pothole I retired at the end of the season, & went sailing.

I was probably not in much more control in a 40 Ft yacht in a cyclone in the middle of the Solomon sea, but at least I was not going to bounce off the track out there.

I was talked into going back just once to drive a V8 Falcon in the 500. Back in complete control at not much over 130 MPH that was a bit of fun, but not enough to stick around for.
