MEDIA RELEASE 13 January 2011

Street Machines set to shine at the Mountain

Mount Panorama is fast becoming a major events’ Mecca with Bathurst Regional Council announcing a new event to be staged at the facility in early 2012.

Council is set to sign a five year agreement with Springnats Pty Ltd for the staging of the Valvoline Bathurst Autofest. The festival will give Street Machine enthusiasts from Bathurst and beyond an opportunity to enjoy their passion, outside of a capital city.

Springnats currently runs similar events at Murray Bridge SA, Corowa NSW, Mount Gambier SA, and Shepparton VIC.

It’s expected the Valvoline Bathurst Autofest will prove very popular with car enthusiasts and further cement Mount Panorama’s reputation as the home of Australian motorsport.

“Council is always looking to attract new events to our region and we are very happy to partner with Springnats Pty Ltd for this exciting new festival,” said Bathurst Mayor, Paul Toole.

“This will be a different kind of event for the mountain and I’m sure it will prove to be very popular with Street Machine enthusiasts everywhere.”

Les Adams from the Springnats organisation added: “This is a major decision and a huge step forward for our sport, and shows the growing strength of Street Machining.”

The dates and program for the Valvoline Bathurst Autofest will be confirmed in the coming weeks. More information will be available at the Autofest website:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
