12 hour race bathurst Page 23

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.
