Which Australian circuit was first featured in the series in Gran Turismo 6?

Mount Panorama was the first Australian circuit featured in the Gran Turismo series, appearing in Gran Turismo 6.

The circuit is located at Bathurst in New South Wales and is best known for hosting the Bathurst 1000 touring-car race. Unlike a conventional permanent racecourse, Mount Panorama uses public roads when major events are not taking place. Polyphony Digital visited the site in 2012 to photograph and scan it for inclusion in Gran Turismo 6.

The track’s inclusion is sometimes confused with Albert Park, home of the Australian Grand Prix, or Adelaide Street Circuit, both of which are prominent Australian venues. Mount Panorama was the series’ first Australian track, and its steep elevation changes and narrow public-road layout made it a distinctive addition to the game. The circuit is also widely known by its location name, Bathurst.
