From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1972 Hardie-Ferodo 500 was the 14th running of the Bathurst 500 touring car race. This was the last race to be held over the original distance of 500 miles. It was held on October 1, 1972 at the Mount Panorama Circuit just outside Bathurst. The race was open to cars eligible to the locally developed CAMS Series Production touring car regulations with four classes based on CP units, a combination of engine capacity (in cubic centimetres) and purchase price (Australian dollars) of the vehicle. It was also the last Bathurst to allow drivers to compete without a relief driver for the full distance.
