Bathurst to honour Mini 50th anniversary

The 50th anniversary of Mini’s Mount Panorama domination will be honoured with a special parade over the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 weekend.

The British marque famously filled the top nine positions in the 1966 Gallaher 500 with Bob Holden and Finn Rauno Aaltonen taking the honours.

The triumph will be replicated, albeit when nine contemporary race Minis join the drivers’ parade on Sunday morning prior to the start of Bathurst 1000.

Supercars drivers will then head the parade with the 54-strong field set to be driven around the 6.2km circuit in Mini Mokes.

miniThe 83-year-old Holden will be at the tail of the parade aboard a new John Cooper Works Mini.

Included in the parade will be two works cars from 1967 and 1971 with the former once raced by 1964 Monte Carlo Rally winner Paddy Hopkirk.

The Minis will be painted in period colours with several liveried in the famous Castrol green, which was used in the 1966 Bathurst 500.

Prior to Sunday’s celebration, the race cars will be joined by a collection of classic Minis from across Australia that have made the trek to Mount Panorama for a parade lap at 1145 on Saturday.
