The treacherous Mount Panorama track was initially a tourist drive way back in 1938, that was before we’d figured out how entertaining it was to throw V8 Supercars around the tight track at breakneck speeds. It is royalty to the racing track world, hosting a number of motorsport events throughout the year and being ranked among the great race tracks of the world, as well as being a driver’s favourite.
