Six-time winner Skaife a Bathurst legend

Mount Panorama champions Mark Skaife, Gregg Hansford and commentator Mike Raymond have been added to the Legends Lane at Bathurst.

The trio of high achievers were announced as new inductees on Friday ahead of the Bathurst 1000, when another legend will be honoured.

The Ford Cortina driven to victory in 1963 by Bob Jane, who died late last month after suffering prostate cancer, will lead the legend's lap prior to the Great Race on Sunday.

Skaife is a six-time winner of the Bathurst 1000, and claimed 90 race wins in the sport - a feat only bettered by current racers Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes.
