Thank you Mark Larkham for all of your professionalism and knowledge. There are only a handful of TV presenters GLOBALLY that can explain something very technical to the everyday viewer and have that viewer understand what is said. This sir, is YOU. I'm going to miss all the 'Larko-isims' in 2021 as will every other Supercars fan. A massive corporate failure for them to not include you in the 2021 coverage. ALL THE BEST LARKO ! & once again --------------------->THANK YOU

Start watching all the intros about a week before the race. Great way to build up to the great race.

Bring on Bathurst 2024!

I just did a trip to Sydney with the family, and came back via Bathurst. Tradition states that when anywhere near Bathurst, we do a lap of the Mount. As we pulled up to the start line for a lap of Mount Panorama, I pressed play on this KZread video running through the car speakers at 100% - it was the most epic commentary and soundtrack as we went around the track with Mark Larkham as our audio tour guide - you could feel the emotion enveloping the car as we went around - incredible.

My Bathurst week starts when i start replaying this into......still the GOAT of hype videos

That is one of the best in your face talks on how to attack a race track I've hurd..the power in his voice demanded attention, his authority he portrayed sent a shiver down my spine. But what I saw in his eyes was nothing less than, than staring into the coal face, that stood the up hairs on the back of my neck.. Wow and drivers hats as they have to do that lap in lap out to win.. that's the cost of being a champion.. the cost of not listening, well the scap heap of failure and obscurity.

I'm from the UK and even though we are steeped in F1 history, have all the teams here and some of the best tracks in the world (as well as in Europe), I get so jealous of the Mt Panorama circuit and V8 Supercars, they are amazing and that track is epic!!!!!!

this is still the best bathurst run through ever🥺

Watching this before every Bathurst race

Still the best Bathurst intro ever !!

This never gets old.

This is the best commentary and explanation of Australia's premium race I've ever seen. I'm 62 and I always remember watching this wonderful race with my father. Never knew all the stats and what the drivers had to do to get his car around just 1 lap. Stupendous I can't tell you how many times I've watched this piece of art. Love it!!!

Not too long now, boys. The mountain is calling.

I think watching this video the night before bathurst is becoming a yearly ritual for me! I'm so hyped for tomorrow

No one can explain the precision and passion of motorsport like Larko

"Mt Panorama Survival Guide".

This the best Bathurst intro 🏁

One of the best bits of Australian Tv in history

Every year, we come back to this. To get myself excited (like im not already), to feel just as confident and courageous as the drivers are. This video IS what its ALL about

Still gives me chills down the spine!

Ten Motorsport should be very proud of this presentation. Seen it now 8 times. Each time as if it were not my own great race. Fabulous.

Fast fwd today. 2024 Thrifty 500. Turn 1. Safety car!! Maybe the drivers all need to watch this.

One day I dream of visiting Australia (from UK) and driving or at least seeing Bathurst. Most amazing track in the world!

If you're a motorsport fan it's an amazing experience. You'll be surprised at how narrow the stretch over the top of the mountain looks at 60kph. Then as a mere mortal, you can only wonder what it looks like from inside a racecar at 200kph? TV can never accurately represent the drop in elevation through the esses and dipper. Be warned if you do drive the track, the 60kph speed limit is strictly enforced.

If you're into podcasts check out Rustys Garage ep with Larko (Greg Rust hosts - he is a motorsports journo here, used to host F1 etc before throwing to the BBC or Sky feed). Anyway, Larko was his own manager, team owner, mechanic, merchandise manager, logistics manager, sales manager, sponsor promoter, engineer etc etc when he ran his own car in the early 2000s. I can't think of anyone since Brabham that could say the same.

i've driven the track a few times (just as a sightsee-er) and trust me..... you really DON'T understand how Mount Panorama really IS a "mountain" until you're there in person............. up mountain straight through Griffin's Bend, right up to mcPhilliamy Park and Skyline? It is just CRAZY elevation of 'up-hill' where you really feel the WEIGHT of the demands of this race....... and again when you're driving down through esses, the dipper, onto Conrod........ it's just INSANE how fast they navigate those steep descents..... if you're a Bathurst fan? I HIGHLY recommend finding any way you can to actually drive the track yourself.......... (it's open to the public if there's no events on) It'll blow your mind when you compare it to the speeds of Race Day. ;)

Looking at this through 2024 eyes, nothing has changed - it is a world of absolute. There was a 70’s show Thrillseekers. Tonight, we are going to meet a new breed of cat. There are only a few outsiders who can really race Bathurst. It’s not in their blood. But times have changed- well advanced anyway. Reliable cars are getting faster. Just maybe it is time for change. Growth. Time to grow Bathurst. Time to extend it to 1200 k’s. Every practice lap every qualifying Hardies Heros lap and every race lap. With a V8 singing vibrantly after every gear change. Thanks again Mr Latham your enthusiasm comes from the soul and it reminds me. Too much Bathurst is barely enough.

To all our American friends when he said 200km per hr through the esses that's 120mph and 300km down conrod straight is 180mph.
