2018 esCarpade Day 0 - Bathurst Scrutineering and Sightseeing

Waking up in Bathurst, Retro Rock-It was a little lonely in the carpark with no other esCarpadians to talk to...


The boys decided that since they had to basically drive to Mt Panorama to go to scrutineering, they would do a quick lap before heading there...


Entering the track...


Parked at the grid...  It's a road, so parking ON the grid would be frowned upon and slightly dangerous!!


A few still shots... up over the top...


Angus having a drive...


Nice view from up there!!


Heading back down again...


Nearly at the end...


And just about done.


Angus would like to point out that he did his lap considerably faster than Damian did...  Damian would like to point out there was a valid reason for that... watch the videos at the end of the blog post to see what it was!!

Parked at scrutineering with all his friends...


Downtown Bathurst...


Old buildings, old street lights...


And back at Mt Panorama for the official team photo...  This taken while waiting their turn!


Damian's lap of Mt Panorama in Retro Rock-It...  the preview image kind of gives away the surprise regarding what held up his progress!!


Angus' vastly quicker lap of Mt Panorama...  Enjoy!


So with scrutineering done, the bible collected and Retro Rock-It fuelled up ready for the morning, it was time for the boys to have a little rest before dinner.

Stay tuned - Welcome Dinner tonight, then the first day of driving kicks off in the morning!

  1. WOOHOO! I feel that Damian's excuse for a slow lap is a bit dull... you didn't want to overtake him? Lol

    1. Well, I did, but couldn't until we'd passed the interesting bit...
