Of course, been checking the countdown for the past few days

Saw that camping is sold out. Camping. Sold out.

Yep! Camping spots on the top of the mountain during the great race are prime real estate.

My lounge chair in front of the TV is also fully booked.

My favorite race of the year... awesome stuff, you gotta love the mountain!

Only downside for me in the UK is trying to find a broadcast ont interweb

Senad Subasic · Oct 1, 2012

I thought MotorsTV had broadcasts?

I have zero TV access to it, so have to resort to different means.

Next Session in 00:02:47:01

Formula Fords on Bathurst! Wish I could see that one as well.

I still haven't found a good video stream but here is a link to the radio streams, they cover race control, team radios, ems, air control, all kind of stuff.

Michael Brown · Oct 4, 2012

I'm looking for a live stream because I rarely get V8 Supercars in Canada. I have Speed but they show V8 Supercars whenever it fits their schedule, which isn't the case this time.

Senad Subasic · Oct 4, 2012

My connection is a bit slow for streams, and they often look quite bad, so I watch it after it airs.
Hopefully I'll remember not to look anywhere V8 related, so I don't spoil the race for myself

Stuart Baker · Oct 5, 2012

It was announced earlier today that this years Bathurst will be streamed live on the official V8 Supercars Youtube Channel for people outside of Australia.

Oh, that's awesome

Just when I was about to post that I found an (unofficial) streaming link.

Unfortunately I can't watch the race in streaming because of my monthly download limit, it'd kill it !

The race will be broadcasted on Speed on Monday morning (EST) and next weekend (go look at the Speed website for the schedule)

Mitchell Smith · Oct 5, 2012

I get so passionate this time of year, I've watched Spa, Le Mans, Green Hell, and for me, Bathurst is among those god-rated tracks, even more so given it's in my backyard.

I'm sure most international racers by now if you've been watching coverage know Peter Brock, it's a very nice thing Lowndes has done for his great mentor, my respect for the bloke has gone from high to incalculable. Brock will always be King of the Mountain.

I'm glad you guys have a way to watch Bathurst (for international viewers), it's a spectacular race that should be shared the same way Le Mans and the others are.

I don't think however you guys would have seen Friday Night Live, it's the best pre-race entertainment program I've ever seen, the atmosphere on Mount Panorama last night was fantastic, this was awesome, I hope you guys like it, props to this bloke for uploading it so fast.

And to get you excited for today's shootout,

Enough of my patriotic preaching, I'm going to go try to waste six hours until it all starts again. The only downside is that F1 conflicts with Bathurst

Watching the Friday Night Live thing. The guy in the intro sounded like he's announcing Lord of the Rings

Russel Crowe is much better

What are Touring Car Masters events like? Figured it was closer to a Sunday drive than a race, since it would be a huge shame to scratch those cars.

Nope definately not a sunday drive. They take it pretty seriously but are usually quite clean, although they went a little nuts in yesterdays final race.

Poor old cars.

It says "video not available"

Edit: Anyone else more lucky to see it? I'm in Germany...

Senad Subasic · Oct 7, 2012

Working fine for me, guess Germany doesn't like anything copyrighted showing up on youtube.

I don't like streams, so will skip it, and watch in my own time
