The 1948 New South Wales Hundred was a motor race staged at the Mount Panorama Circuit[1] near Bathurst in New South Wales, Australia on 29 March 1948.[2]
The race, which was organised by the Australian Sporting Car Club,[3] was contested on a handicap basis over 25 laps, a distance of 100 miles.[1]
The race was won by John Barraclough driving an MG NE Magnette.[1] A protest against Barraclough by the second placed driver, alleging inaccuracies in the entrance certificate, was dismissed.[4]
Alf Barrett (Alfa Romeo) registered the fastest time for the 100 miles, setting a new record for this distance.[3]
Barrett also set a new lap record.[3]
Lex Davison (Alfa Romeo) attained a speed of 144 mph during the race.[3] This was believed to be the fastest speed ever recorded on an Australian racing circuit[3] to this time.
