Jim Richards Bathurst Legend Hot Laps at Mount Panorama Bathurst
 |
There’s no other circuit like Mount Panorama and no racer knows the mountain like Jim Richards. Hot Laps don’t get any better than this. Imagine the ride of a lifetime, hot laps at Bathurst in the passenger seat of a Porsche race car driven by the legendary Jim Richards. Jim is a 4 times Australian Touring Car Champion, 7 times Bathurst 1000 winner, 8 times Targa Tasmania winner and Carrera Cup champion. These are adrenalin-fuelled hot laps around the full 6.213km circuit that is the spiritual home of Australian motorsport. Strap into the Porsche, hook up to the in car communications, then sit back as ‘Gentleman Jim’ shows why Mount Panorama is so revered. Experience the rush heading up Mountain Straight, hold on as the circuit seems to disappear across Skyline, feel the G forces through the Esses and be amazed at the speed down Conrod. And if all that isn’t enough, lunch with Jim Richards and a signed photo with Jim are also included. The Jim Richards Bathurst Experience is the ultimate gift for any motorsport fan. It will definitely leave a lasting impression and it will forever change the way you view the Great Race. |

Jim Richards was inducted into the Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame in 2006. His career records are extraordinary but it is his results at Mount Panorama that have earned him his greatest accolades. Jim holds the record for the most Bathurst 1000 starts, a continuous run of thirty five through to 2006. He also shares the record for the most number of race finishes, twenty four, netting him thirteen Top 10 finishes along with his seven outright victories.
The record for the greatest winning margin belongs to Peter Brock and Jim Richards and the record for the fastest race time for the full 1,000km also belongs to Jim and was set back in 1991 when he and Mark Skaife steered their turbo Nissan GT-R to victory.
