Australia’s ‘Great Race’ at Bathurst reaches a special milestone in 2023, the 60th anniversary of its first running in 1963 at the world-famous Mount Panorama circuit. Synonymous with being a test of driver and machine against the challenging circuit and built on the rivalry between Holden and Ford, the race has made drivers and their cars into legends.
An Australian sporting institution, the Great Race has provided a true endurance test of driver and machine, as the best racers in the country – and indeed world – have challenged the mighty Mountain.
Built on the back of the legendary Holden and Ford rivalry, the annual race has made household names of Allan Moffat, Dick Johnson and so many others, including the fearless women who have challenged the race. From its beginnings in the 1960s as a 500-mile race for standard production cars, the Great Race has evolved into an annual multi-million-dollar battle between purpose-built, millimetre-perfect V8-powered Supercars.
Globally recognised as one of the world’s greatest motorsport events, the Bathurst 1000 remains an annual focal point for racers and fans alike as an iconic event on the calendar. The Royal Australian Mint is proud to mark six decades of Australia’s most famous race.
