My Bathurst Inquiry

Speech for inquiry

Hi my name is Nicholas and i am going to tell you about Bathurst for my inquiry.

Here are my wondering about Bathurst, First is that it is held on the Mount Panorama also Mount panorama is on Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia. Lastly the Peter Brock Trophy is a trophy that drivers win when when they come in 1st place.

Secondly,I am going to tell about some of the winner, the cars, the year, what race they won and things i already know. Here are 6 of them 1. 1971, Hardie-Ferodo 500, Allan moffat, Ford XY Falcon GT-HO Phase 3, 2. 1967, Gallaher 500, Harry Firth and Fred Gibson, Ford XR Falcon GT, 3. 1966, Gallaher 500, Rauno Altonen and Bob Holden, Morris Cooper S,4. 1968, Hardie-Ferodo 500,Bruce McPhee and Barry Mulholland,holden HK Monaro GT S327,5.1969, Hardie-Ferodo 500, colan Bond and Tony Roberts, Holden HT Maran GTS 350, 6.1972, Hardie-Ferodo 500, Peter Brock,Holden LJ Torana GTR XU-1.

Thirdly, Here are my questions and how i’m going to answer them. 1. How long has Bathurst been around for? Bathurst has been around for 50 years started from 1960, 2. Why is it called the Peter Brock trophy? Because he was the King of the Mountain and won Bathurst 9 times, 3. Why do the cars only drive on these Mount panorama circuit? Because Mount Panorama Circuit is the mane track they race on sics 1963, 4. How many times have Ford and Holden won and why? Ford has won 19 times and Holden has won 29 times because as you heard that Holden is better than Ford.

Lastly, my new questions are why did Craig Lowndes swap teams this year? and How many crashes have there been in Bathurst?

I really like the topic i chose because there are some thing i did not know about Bathurst.
