Default 370Z at Mt Panorama, Bathurst.

Not my car but the 350Z will be there late November for a couple of days hard lapping and for the Z car 's 50th celebration.

Great video, and that's an incredible race course with very little room for runoff! They do track days there!? Just curious- what does a track day at Mt. Panorama cost?

It's actually a public road that is closed a few weekends a year for motorsport, mostly pro/semi pro stuff so us serious amateurs are lucky to be able to use it yearly. Cost for the weekend is ~ US$1,000. It's brilliant to drive on with all sorts of variations and challenges including rises and dips that can cause high speed front end lift if your aero is wrong.

Thanks for the info. It's interesting to compare costs and it sounds like a great experience that Z enthusiasts in North America can only dream of! BTW- most high-end racetrack track days here are in the $400-500 range in the US.

Yes it is a brilliant track but the US has a lot of very good tracks, I enjoy watching the videos put up in this forum and imagining what it would be like to drive there.
