The Cutting is extremely important. Probably more so than any corner at Bathurst — because it dictates your speed over the top of the Mountain.
That's our head coach Phil Alexander on Turn 3 at Mount Panorama.
It's a tricky, relatively slow sequence, and it takes real accuracy to maximise your cornering speed. Here's what he tells our drivers:
🏁 Your line depends on your car. Coming out of Turn 3 in a small car, you don't need the right-hand side of the track — you can stay mid-track. Head to the outside wall of the Cutting before you turn, to maximise the width of the corner. Larger cars need more of the available road, by nature of having more mass.
⚠️ Watch the debris on the outside - ensure your line is accurate
🏁 Sort your braking and gear change sequence early so you can drive through the exit. Most cars are in second.
🏁 About 80 metres past the corner there's a small hump. Most drivers use it as a gear change marker — but keep in mind, it's a short shift corner.
That's one corner. There are 23 of them.
At Challenge Bathurst on 19 & 20 November, you get six 20-minute sessions across two days — and between every one, you debrief with Phil. In-car comms on track, footage and driving line review off it.
We have 2 Arrive 'n' Drive seats left. Fully prepped race car, entries, pit support, transport and admin all handled. You focus on the finish line.

Some races are about the lap times. Some are about the racing.
Last weekend Phil Alexander and John Connolly loaded up the Weekend Australian BMW E30 — a six-cylinder Targa-built car — and pointed it north for the Historic Leyburn Sprints.
Leyburn is a town of about 500 people on the Darling Downs in Queensland. For one weekend a year it becomes something else entirely. This year, its 30th, roughly 19,000 spectators came through and a record 231 competitors put cars on the grid. Marked with hay bales, the sprints themselves run straight through the town where the first Queensland Grand Prix was held.
For the 30th, the organisers brought in serious company: Dick Johnson, Colin Bond, John Bowe and Kevin Bartlett, along with Bruce Allison, Charlie O'Brien, Bap Romano and Steve Masterton. John also got a run in Andrew Miedecke's restored Group A Mercedes-Benz during the parade — the car from Miedecke's Bathurst debut. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday.
We ran into fellow RX8 Cup driver in his RX3 Coupe - good to see a familiar face!
