Faster laps have been recorded at Mount Panorama but not during an official race or sprint session so do not qualify as lap records. As part of publicity for the 2011 Australian Grand Prix, McLaren provided a MP4-23 Formula One car for Jenson Button and Craig Lowndes. Button recorded a time of 1:48.88. On 2 February 2019 Luke Youlden recorded 1:58.694 in a Brabham BT62 during a demonstration at the Bathurst 12 Hour.
