The Bend used to be the local Mitsubishi testing grounds (they used to have a plant in Adelaide), subsequently bought by the Shahins (who had the 'On The Run' business) one of the brothers, Yasser, races in WEC.
You can tell they wanted to to cover both good business and great event capabilities at that place. It really is an underrated spot
Today Supercars announced they will be running a 500km endurance event here from next year. Good to see the bend back on the Supercars calendar.
Will be good to see, but still Supercabs to me.
They have the Adelaide street circuit
2:30am here in Australia, about to go to bed but no chance now ! 😁
Time to relive the good times !!! ❤
Go to sleep Mitch 😂
@@Squiddy97 You're not my real dad !
I didn't realise how big The Bend actually is.
Only the Nurburgring is bigger now Australian has 2 big Beauties Bathurst and the Bend
My stepdad is one of the architects behind The Bend and its facilities, he worked with the Shahins to make the dream come true. They absolutely love their cars! I still remember going out and visiting prior to it being open to the public. I've been back a handful of times to go go-karting and the likes. The skypad has to be the best view to watch any race around here! A must visit if you are ever in South Australia!
Too bad theyre a bunch of scumbags who failed to pay overtime, underpaid staff and used eight different wage minimisation tactics that enabled gross underpayment of its staff.
Let's give these guys the support they deserve to keep motorsport growing in Au.
Thank you, Misha, for giving people a road map to success in the racing industry. Polite, professional, not letting it go to your head and still showing how fun it can be for enthusiasts.
Never thought I’d see Misha drive a Commodore but I’m here for it
Having worked at the Bend, it looks great, but running large events and getting spectators in AND catering for them, is a logistical nightmare. It’s a drivers paradise, but they struggle to do right by the spectators
Yes the dining portion is quite small compared to how many people it can hold
Thanks for coming to South Australia 🇦🇺. Glad the world get to see our amazing track. I was lucky enough to have to privilege of helping build it.
Also the people that built it Owen all the BP on the run service stations. Just sold them for 1.2 billion
The Shahin family built it.
im glad you're sponsored with hyundai! you are such a great ambassador! hyundai makes some cool cars lately!
The wind ain't gonna stop me from going there. Also, Misha, thank you for coming out to Australia! We appreciate it!
Noice I love that you're still putting out content from your trip to Australia! 🙌
Welcome to Adelaide! Of course you went to the bend 😁🏎️ Enjoy!!
As a guy who has lived in Adelaide most of my live bar 9yrs in Western Australia 🇦🇺. I would like to see Adelaide get back formula 1# 😀 ❤
SA is the worst state to live In now with a modified car on the road though huge laws against mods now 😢
my condolences.
That’s pretty. Watched the Bend from the Supercars. Never knew it was a bigger layout. Only second to the Nord. Wow.
Hope you enjoyed your stay! We are super fortunate to have the bend right in our backyard.
I'm glad your having a good time in my country!
Misha gets around! Nice
Not sure who gets around more... Misha or my ex-girlfriend.
I love the bend.. Such an amazing facility.
You have to bring food shots back to the main channel! Didn't even realize they were gone until you mentioned it in this video...
I’m going there next Saturday 👍
Holy shit, what a massive and impressive place
Wow...Tailem Bend...I was a three year old when my family lived there and my father worked for the railways...we had to evacuate to Murray Bridge during the 54' floods and never returned. She was a sleepy little country town for a long time...wild horses wouldn't convince me to visit but it's good to see.
I was there Thursday the 3rd October. We are riding from Melbourne to Perth. Whilst at the bend we did 4 laps of the 7.7km track. It was awesome. They have done a fantastic job building it.
Interesting bit of history is this same land was a dragstrip called River Bend Raceway in the early 70's. It only lasted a few meetings before it was gone but the land remained zoned for Mororsport. Chrysler and Mitsubishi Australia then owned the land and tested vehicles there on rare occasion. It then sat unused for years until this new facility got the go ahead. None of the original infrastructure remained so it is all new.
Welcome to my home track. Enjoy.
What a great venue....must go there one day.
Sheesh, so much development in only a few years of opening
Nice - hope you enjoyed Adelaide, South Australia :))
What are you doing, Misha? We are trying to keep South Australia our little secret. Now everyone will show up
I did a track day there two weeks ago, had I known you're visiting us here in SA I would have asked you to take my Quadrifoglo for a few laps at The Bend.
Absolutely loving this channel Misha and the content! Hopefully, I will get to meet you one day! 👌
27 minutes of vlog, wow!
But that was one amazing experience!
Took part in a 3 day long Lemon styled endurance in 2022. Massive fun! Will run again in a few weeks time in albeit a shorter but just as exciting race. Please come again and hope to see you in a race 😊
This is unreal. I couldn't believe it when I got to watch the leg of the Asia Le Mans series there in 2020, then they pull a stunt like this and bring in a legend like Misha!
What next, MotoGP, F1, Misha driving an F1?!
I went there a few months ago, that car collection has cars that rotate through it. Watching multi class racing was awesome
🇦🇺It’s so cool that you’re getting a chance to see one of not only Australia’s most underrated tracks, but possibly the world. The Bend, in my opinion, could one day hold the Australian F1 Grand Prix 🏁🏆😎 What are your thoughts 🤷🏻♂️. A big follower from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺👍
Might be some logistics issues. Adelaide airport is too far away. They like to land a 747 nearby for the cars transport and need a convoy of tankers to fuel it up. Not insurmountable but it is a challenge.
@@rogerpearson9081 Yes, unfortunately there’s a few reasons why that magnificent circuit won’t see the action it can clearly handle but as hard as they promote it, as far as the F1 circus goes when Albert Park is what your up there against 🤔🤷🏻♂️
Nice one Misha. Just to let you know. I prefer to follow you on this channel instead of watching you go round and round in circles. Real content. I think will have to do some cartoons like i did when you started with Apex. Right, catching a plane to Split, then a bus ride to Makarska
Awesome will you be going to Mount Panorama as well?
Was there the other week with the lads and ladettes. ❤
Welcome to Australia Misha. Maybe a few more visits and some touring in the future? Been a long time fan of your "ring" videos. Maybe one day Ill get over to do a few laps before I get too old and decrepit. Keep up the awesome content!
What they need at the end is a massive parts shop, a cross between Summit racing & Superautobacs, then it will be a true Motorsports heaven.
Welcome to OZ Misha, hope you get to Bathurst, have a great time and be careful .
This even looked awesome!
Having him sign the bonnet, boot and inside on the porche. Sorry but that looks hella cheesey, each to there own. Also the falcon with side pipes looked like a cool build, good vibe.
Surprised to see that lady as the owner of the Porsche :) we need more ladies that love cars :)
Just picked up my new Hyundai Tuscon Elite N Line Diesel last week. Drove it home from Mornington dealership to Mildura Vic 614 km and it is the most comfortable car i have ever owned and that includes two V8 Benzes plus 6.7 ltr/100 km. Next trip in the new car will be to the Bend as i have never been and cant wait.
Great to see you down here, I've stayed at The Bend a few times, it's a great place & the track is world class, Rj from Nth NSW
Welcome to Aussie Misha 👍🇩🇪🇦🇺
Welcome to Australia! Will you be at Bathurst this weekend? I have a friend racing in the Superutes this weekend!
Superutes is such an underrated category, it was a blast watching them spit flames up and down the mountain
Looking forward to seeing Misha in a Commodore!
13:30 thx for showing my car lol
LOVE THE 2ND CHANNEL!!!
I hope you laserscanned the track for AC Evo :D
another good video
Welcome to Australia Misha.
I think you must have been here not long after I made my video there (but I got no fan fare lol)
I like what they're doing at the Bend. I still know it as Talem Bend. People with a bit of foresight.
My mother used to live just down the road from there. Now she lives not far from Bathurst.
its a panel van , not a ute . nice one too 👍
Good video
20:37 nice of you to take a photo with Rainbolt
Very interesting, thank you Misha
You saw more of this place in one visit than I have in 6 years and dozens of visits there 😂
Inserting classical "Bend over" joke =))
Cant wait to see the track pop up in games!
iRacing has already scanned this track for development.
ua-cam.com/video/yN9Ig009x_s/v-deo.html 8min 50 into the dev update
At 6:16 there used to be a Bugatti Chiron super sport 300+ behind the glass, I was there when I last went to the bend but it has been a while
I saw that car as well with the P1 GTR and 918 I suspect it was sold or was rotated out for some reason
Adelaide represent.
Wow cool!
4 kms on the dot. the track of zolder. in belguim. did a morning track session. took me 2h to drive throuth a new set of brake pads.
zolder is known, as the brake killer/eater.
so did Brad sell the van or not?
I’m the brother in the vid, It’s still for sale!
@@Dave-gw3mv I thought your sales pitch was great btw
I'm sure your signature on the Porsche will buff out. 😜🤣
The briefing room needs sound deadening added to the ceiling.
I've had a Few Hyundai's over the years including a fleet of Elantra and Sonata for my company to get away from the beige set fleet cars and they have always been surprising in many facets of ownership.
Even a few of my Toys were awesome fun and I have a soft spot for early Accents as rallycross and khana cars so im not surprised to see ionics everywhere :-)
Quite lucky to ride motorbikes on this track
When you go there you realise how much earthworks were done to change the flat topography of the area. There are a number of elevation changes.
Wait until you see Mount Panorama. Home of the Bathurst 1000.
Hope you visited Bathurst !
Hi, Misha - do we get a video of you doing/experiencing a lap? Please and thank you ❤
Did you visit Richmond cars ? Some amazing classic cars in amazing condition for sale.
Dd you go to Bathurst while you were here mate?
🇦🇺🏁 Maybe you could help us (The Bend, Australia) in some “word of mouth” promotional assistance to help this wonderful circuit gain some more international recognition 👌😎
Okay, I’ve already forgotten! Does the first corner go to the right or the left? Hahaha OMG!!!!
thanks misha, it will now be double the price lol
Nice Track! Unfortunately a bit far away! Did any deadly animals or insects try to kill you while you were downunder?
No, only met lazy koalas
@@mgcharoudin2😂 At Cleland in the Adelaide Hills?
More chance of being killed in a car crash than an animal attack....
yeahhh buddy
Foodshot 7/10
I’d love to drive my 1M around the bend
When will they start building homes next to it and shut it down?
I watch all motorsport,and have never heard of this track.....hmmm..!
12:02 What country is this? I don't recognise that flag.
As if the Bugatti isn’t behind the glass anymore 🥲
The grand GT layout need to be raced more
7.7 Km of scorching hot maze
Maybe a good 2nd rate endurance event like 6h of Bend for GTWC Australia LOL
I did NOT expect this lol
A bit of a backstory. I'm paralysed since i was 14. I dived into shallow water and broke my neck. Years later i got myself into Paracycling and i got reasonably good. I'm touring UCI Paracycling world cup (cycling union) races since 2014 and this year, for the first time EVER, we went to Australia this january and guess where the race was.....yes, The Bend :D So i went around in my handbike a few times, absolute MONSTER of a circuit. Funny enough, i'm degenerate simracer as well and when i saw the setup in the main hall with Assetto Corsa, i wanted to show everyone how good of a driver i am. Sadly they didn't have hand controls for the sim. But this is so funny. Gonna watch and relive the memories for my silver medal race haha
24:04 What happened to your specs Misha!? Seems like you bent it at the Bend.
👌💯
Is that DB5 the stolen one?
Bring back f1 to Adelaide!
Oh no what happened to the Super Sport 300+
160MBs... That can't be Australia
