1960 Craven A International

The 1960 Craven A International was a motor race staged at the Mount Panorama Circuit, Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia on 2 October 1960.[1] It was the second 100-mile race [2] for Formula Libre cars to be held at Bathurst in 1960, but unlike the Bathurst 100 held in April, the Craven A International was not a "Gold Star" race [1] counting towards the 1960 Australian Drivers' Championship.

The race was won by Jack Brabham driving a Cooper T51 Coventry Climax.[3]

gollark: I worked it out as 360-(360/π) degrees, which seems weird since that would make it independent of radius. Maybe it is, who knows.
gollark: So you want L+2r there to equal the total circumference of the circle?
gollark: It's a theta.
gollark: Er, sector, not area.
gollark: The *perimeter* of the area equals its total circumference?
