The historic Bathurst sports car track is not under consideration, in part because its very long straights and high speeds would require an extremely large investment to bring into compliance with the needs of the ALMS racers. Bathurst now possesses straights in excess of those at Le Mans, since the latter track has added its chicanes.<BR> <BR> Tom Kjos<BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
