12 hour race bathurst

The Bathurst 12 Hour is Australia’s GT endurance epic at Mount Panorama—twelve hours of speed, strategy, and nerves of steel.

Expect mostly GT3 machinery from Audi, Mercedes-AMG, Porsche, BMW and friends, with pro and Pro-Am crews wrestling across 6.213 km of fast, unforgiving tarmac.

It typically runs in early February, starting before dawn and finishing with bleary-eyed heroics as the sun lights up Skyline.

Pack sunscreen, a poncho, and industrial-strength coffee—Bathurst likes to serve all four seasons and a few safety cars for garnish.
