skyline at bathurst

The Skyline at Bathurst is the blind, knife-edge crest atop Mount Panorama that drops you into the Esses and the Dipper like a rollercoaster with concrete walls.

Get it right and you feel heroic; get it wrong and you’re redecorating a tyre barrier faster than you can say “yellow flag”.

It’s narrow, off-camber in places, and the car goes light over the crest before the track plunges steeply downhill, so commitment and precision beat bravado every time.

No surprise it’s a highlight for spectators and a heart-rate test for drivers—one of the most unforgiving, iconic corners in Australian motorsport.
