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]
