Race Week Excitement at the National Motor Racing Museum

Race Week is just around the corner, and Bathurst’s National Motor Racing Museum is putting on a show. 

Located at the entrance of Mount Panorama, the National Motor Racing Museum has a terrific range of exhibitions and activations put on in readiness for next week’s 65th Repco Bathurst 1000. 

Mayor Cr Robert Taylor commented on two great new exhibitions that are on display. 

“Just in time for Race Week, the National Motor Racing Museum has an excellent Special Exhibition on show. Their ‘100 Years of Ford in Australia’ exhibition highlights Ford’s incredible motorsport history in touring cars, rally, long distance trials and plenty more! Plus, their ‘Nissan in Motorsport’ exhibition includes both Bathurst 1000 winning Nissan GT-Rs and an Altima Supercar from 2015.  

“2025 Repco Bathurst 1000 event merchandise and event programs will additionally be on sale in their gift shop, as well as the usual great array of books, clothing, model cars and Mount Panorama souvenirs. So, for all those heading to The Mount next week, be sure to make a pitstop at the museum to catch a glimpse of their brilliant collections. 

“Plus, the National Motor Racing Museum will be taking part in the celebrations at the highly anticipated off-track events along Russell St on Tuesday 7 and Wednesday 8 October, making their way into town in their replica Pepsi Supercar,” said Mayor Taylor.
