You can keep your events at Sandown and even your super sprints because the Bathurst 1000 is the race every Australian revhead has circled on their calendar.
Since 1963, some of the globe's most skilled drivers have taken on Mount Panorama to be crowned the King of the Mountain.
Having changed gears from Vauxhills and Morris Coopers of decades past to the turbocharged V8 present, what's under the hood may have changed but it has always taken a neat balance of deftness and dare to claim the chequered flag at Bathurst.
From a tyre magnate's early dominance to a Kiwi flyer's current stranglehold, here is every driver to have crossed the line first at Mount Panorama.
