Forget the legendary Bathurst 1000 duos of Brock and Richards or even today’s motor-charged pairing of David Reynolds and Warren Luff. Raine & Horne Bathurst has its own dynamic duo of Grant Maskill-Dowton and Michelle Mackay, who have listed two spectacular properties in poll position overlooking the legendary Conrod Straight on the iconic Mount Panorama racetrack just in time for the 2024 Great Race. 

As Australian motor sport giants, including Craig Lowndes, Garth Tander and Jamie Whincup prepare to battle it out in the iconic 2024 Repco Bathurst 1000 on Sunday, 13 October, the local real estate powerhouse pairing of Grant and Michelle has listed 457 Conrod Straight[1] and 402 Conrod Straight[2].  

Grant noted that the properties are expected to attract strong interest from local and international buyers, particularly given his prior success in selling a neighbouring property in the last twelve months to an international racing car driver.
