Default Bathurst 12 Hr Endurance Live Coverage

The Bathurst 12hr is currently being broadcast for those that like GT class racing.

http://www.bathurst12hour.com.au

Bathurst is Australia's iconic race track. Massive elevation change, 6km circuit length. It is normally a public road, so there is limited runoff.

Cars hit about 300km/h down the main straight (which runs mainly down hill).

Check it out.

Truly one of the world's great races. I was on a consulting project in Sydney in 1992 and my client was one of the big sponsors, so we got to go. I had the distinct pleasure of being in the audience during the (in)famous scene where the fans were booing the winner and one of the co-drivers yelled "you're a pack of a$$sholes!"

I can laugh about it now and it makes for a great story. But it was rather tense at the time, given all the angry drunks around us.

Thanks!
If you're in the US leave off the ".au" at the end or it doesn't stream.

a client, David Calvert Jones, is driving the #12 911 GT3 Cup car. we did a TON of sim work before he headed over...I'm now convinced Bathurst is the most difficult track on the planet.
