How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Mount Panorama in Gran Turismo 7 is the full 6.2 km lap of Bathurst. This view from the top of the mountain looks out over the countryside, after the steep climb up Mountain Straight and before the drop through the Esses and down Conrod Straight.
The real place
Mount Panorama has been a race track since 1938 and is home to the Bathurst 1000 touring car race each October. Outside race weekends it is a public road called Mountain Straight and Conrod Straight, with homes, a vineyard and the National Motor Racing Museum along the way.
Visiting
You can drive the lap in your own car on most days, but it is a public road with a 60 km/h limit enforced by police. Stop at Skyline and McPhillamy Park at the top for the view, then visit the National Motor Racing Museum near the start and finish.
