THE SHOW off the track will be just as exciting as the one on it at the 2015 Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour.

Organisers have announced a new partnership with Raceline Events to promote a spectacular auto show at the February 6-8, 2015 Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour Event that will fill Harris Park with colour and excitement across the weekend.

To be known as the Bathurst 12 Hour Supershow, the two-day Event will be a full-on show and shine complete with judging and a prizes – with presentations to be held during the lunchtime shift of the 12-hour race on Sunday.

The Supershow is expected to attract a huge array of competitors from around Australia that will fill Harris Park with colour, noise and excitement for fans at the circuit.

“We are excited to welcome Raceline Events to the Bathurst 12 Hour and are looking forward to the first ever Bathurst 12 Hour Supershow,” Event Director James O’Brien said.

“The Bathurst 12 Hour weekend is already a feast for the senses of motoring fans thanks to the wide variety of cars in the 12-hour itself and the three support categories racing on Saturday. This will just add to the variety for fans trackside.

“We pride ourselves on offering the best value tickets in Australian Motorsport for race fans and this will just make the experience even better, with plenty to see and do off the track as well as on it.”

Applications are already open for the show, with the first 150 entrants to receive a bonus parade lap of the full 6.213km Mount Panorama circuit on Saturday – between Bathurst 12 Hour qualifying sessions.

“Plans are also underway for a monster Supershow cruise potentially involving as many as 12 car clubs from four states and the ACT converging on Bathurst on late Friday,” said Raceline Events Ian Badock.

“It is expected that the Bathurst 12 Hour Supershow will attract participants from as far afield as Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne, as well as closer regions like Canberra and Sydney.

“The Supershow will cater for all makes, models and types of Street machines, Sports Cars and Supercars – plus race cars. It will also include a working Dyno for entrants to test the power of their machines, plus an Audio show that will attempt to match the volume of the on-track 12-hour product."

All entrants receive two weekend passes to the Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour Event with the first 150 to take part in the parade laps on Saturday.

Did I just hear the Mayor of Bathurst say something about building a New Circuit? :O

You did.

Pretty sure it's been in plan for a few years now but they're keeping it on the down low.

Not sure how residents of mount panorama feel about having a permanent track. It would mean a lot of noise pollution.

so so fantastic ,been watching all day,the gtr cleaned up cars worth too or three times as much.The Japanese driver is a legend.The other too young ones did an awesome job as well.Time for a celebration vino. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

    • Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again  
    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
