I’m pretty sure Supercars purchased the rights to the Bathurst 12hr a few years ago so this is no real surprise.

As seen during Seven News tonight, looks like old filed tapes of the original play-out at Docklands (eagle-eyed MS folk might be able to spot some programming and what year):

Based on the size and position of the watermark I’m gonna guess at least pre-2011.

That room(s) still used for some operations today, as evidenced recently when sometimes a presenter or reporter will stand in the atrium in front of its glass windows for a report/update/live cross, but the biggest giveaway was all those upper-tier monitors were replaced with flat-screens years ago, probably a decade ago, so yeah it’s definitely ancient

The external shots of the Seven Studios (BCM) are about a decade old too… The Palm Tress were replaced with Nordic pines years ago.

Norfolk Island pines actually and yeah, around 2010 they were replaced.

It will be interesting to see where HSV move to in the future.
