The annual Bathurst 12 Hour endurance race kicks off this Friday at the world famous Mount Panorama circuit in New South Wales, and the more than 50 entries from Australia and around the world are readying their racecars for the gruelling event.
With manufacturers such as Audi, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Lamborghini, and Peugeot all represented at this year’s race, steered by international drivers like ex-Formula One driver Mika Salo and five-time DTM Champion Bernd Schneider, and local drivers including three-time V8 Supercar Champion Craig Lowndes, Australian Touring Car legend John Bowe and V8 Supercar regulars Steven Richards, Warren Luff, Tim Slade, Lee Holdsworth and Jason Bright, this year’s race is guaranteed to deliver flag-to-flag excitement.
Some of the cars set to be hustled through the iconic 6.213km Australian circuit include the Audi R8 LMS GT3 ultra, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 Gullwing, Ferrari 458 GT3, Chevrolet Corvette Z06.R GT3, Lamborghini Gallardo LP600 GT3, Porsche 997 GT3 Cup, and Peugeot RCZ Cup.
