Bathurst shift

[Joe5619]

NO mention of Vaccination passports?

They don't have too, the State government is doing that for them.. No jab, no ticket, it's pretty simple. Anyone unvaccinated who thinks they will be allowed to attend are just living in lala land.


And I haven't read any articles, how did they get around Super Cheap & Repco issues?

true, but they did mention patrons will have to consider state regulations.

not sure how they did but they must have.

SC should hear next week how the event will run when NSW will announce more details on how events will run.

seems Dec 1 its open doors for all? [ provided NSW gets to 90%]

so Bathurst may not be restricted to Vaxed only?

still uncertain what the other states will do and given any plans ppl make have to be made soon could be risky for interstate spectators to gamble.

no sign of not having the event though

still looks like a NSW crowd to me.

I thought it had already been announced no entry to Bathurst event unless double vaxxed.

Probably would be best to be double vaxed. event too close to the opening date to organize a "open"  event, plus may not get the 90 number?

I haven't heard anything Phil, is there a link anywhere to that

I believe it was SMP, no word yet on Bathurst.

Looking for it Trev. Thought I saw that in the same announcement re SMP but perhaps that was just a suggestion? (Although I would expect it to be enforced anyway)

Interesting from Speedcafe re weather, its could be HOT

Since readings began in 1911, the mean maximum temperature at Bathurst in December according to the Bureau of Meteorology is 26.5°C, compared to 20.1°C in October when the Great Race is traditionally held.

More recent readings between 1991 and 2020 have seen that December figure climb to 27.1°C (versus 21.0°C for October).

In 2019, the town recorded a December high temperature of 40.3°C.

As SVG and Slade said, there's been extremely hot weather during some of the 12 Hour races and they have managed. I know some of the GT3s have air conditioning now but it was not always the case.

It will be interesting to see if the teams still elect to triple stint the main drivers to the finish as has become the norm in the recent past.

Looks like Scotty is not coming over to drive which is a real shame: -

Definitely takes some interest away from the event.
