Despite his 17 starts in the Bathurst 1000, yielding a pair of second places, many of Paul Radisich’s fondest memories are rooted in the British Touring Car Championship’s 1990s Super Touring era. A couple of massive accidents in Australia’s Great Race, where the Kiwi sustained multiple injuries in 2006 and ’08 that ended his professional career, probably don’t help the fearsome Mount Panorama circuit’s cause.
Instead, it is the venue where Radisich claimed a second consecutive Touring Car World Cup triumph that he selects as his favourite. “For challenging tracks, I would say Donington,” he says. “But not just for that [win]. It was always a delight to run there.”
