Baz Attrill’s 50‑Year Bathurst Streak Crowned by a Circus on the Summit

Baz Attrill has been a constant presence at the Bathurst 1000 for five decades, never missing a year of the iconic race.

To celebrate his 50‑year streak, organisers have installed Smarty’s Circus right on the summit of Mount Panorama – the very spot where the race begins each year.

The quirky tribute blends the pageantry of a circus with the tradition of the event, proving that even a half‑century of attendance can be honoured with a little extra spectacle.
