THE FIELD MEAL

Saturday 9 August 2025

THE BATHURST BLAT

THE BATHURST BLAT

Returning in 2025 is our famous Bathurst Blat.

Departing Rylstone on Sunday 10th August, following our presentation ceremony, we’ll continue our New South Wales tour de force with a trip to the holy grail of Australian motorsport, Mount Panorama.

Take in the incredible elevation of this hallowed ground with touring laps of the famous street circuit with the opportunity to park atop the mountain and walk the boardwalk along Brock Skyline.

This biannual favourite is one of the highlights of the weekend with many competitors relaxing into the afternoon with a counter lunch at one of the many Bathurst pubs.

We can’t wait to see Minis take on the mountain in 2025.
