The Bathurst 1000 motor race is held annually in which month?
1997 AMP Bathurst 1000 The 1997 AMP Bathurst 1000 was the 38th running of the annual Bathurst 1000 touring car race. It was held on 5 October 1997 at the Mount Panorama Circuit just outside Bathurst in New South Wales, Australia. It was the first Bathurst 1000 race held after the controversial split between race organisers, the Australian Racing Drivers Club, and V8 Supercar, which led to Australia's leading touring car category contesting a separate 1000 kilometre race at Bathurst. This race, the 1997 Primus 1000 Classic, was held two weeks after the AMP Bathurst 1000.
