Default Re: Fatal accident on Mount Panorama, Bathurst

If you put down white lines wouldn't it reduce the grip levels at critical points for the race cars? And wouldn't the race cars basically rub out the lines in short order so the council would be forever re-painting them.

As for the one way idea, I'm with most of you, leave it be and just drive with some common sense.

Having said that, I've driven the track a couple of times and staying to the left all the way round was an odd sensation the first time after years of watching race cam footage of cars following the racing line, especially coming off the top of the mountain all the way to Forest Elbow. I can see how you can be tempted to take the racing line, especially coming out of the dipper, if you're not paying attention to the fact YOU'RE ON A PUBLIC ROAD., more so if you don't check your speed and let the vehicle coast and gather speed.
