Legendary Moments Dinner added to off-track events program

MEDIA RELEASE 2 October 2020

A new-look National Motor Racing Museum Legendary Moments Dinner has been added to the Great Race Festival off-track events.

This year, the dinner will feature an exclusive video Q & A with current Virgin Australian Supercar drivers and past winners of the Bathurst 1000.

Mayor of Bathurst Cr Bobby Bourke said Council was pleased to be able to announce the dinner would proceed, but in a slightly different format, after COVID restrictions made it difficult to proceed with the traditional format.

“We have secured interviews with Jamie Whincup, Scott Mclaughlin, Chaz Mostert and Will Davison and these will be shown at the dinner.”

Tickets to the dinner are now on sale and are being sold in either tables of four or six to meet current health guidelines. Ticket sales are limited to 90 attendees.

The dinner will be held at Rydges, Mount Panorama, starting at 6.30pm on Thursday 15 October 2020. A table of 4 is $280 and a table of 6 is $430. Individual tickets are not available.

Cr Bourke said the other off-track events activities were already proving popular.

“The VERTO Scavenger Hunt has attracted more than 600 participants in the first week and more than 1,500 scavenger hunt tasks have been completed by participants. Ten new scavenger hunt tasks will be released this weekend.”

The window display competition has also returned, and local businesses have until Monday 5 October to register. Thanks to sponsors Bathurst Broadcasters, six winners will receive a $500 advertising package.

Entries are open in the Colouring-in competition. Show us your best and brightest colours for your chance to win 1 of 80 Supercars themed stationery packs. Entries close at 5pm on 18 October.
