Bathurst 12-Hour highlights: Time for Coffee?

If you couldn't be in Australia (or didn't want to get up), here are the Bathurst best bits in two minutes



Spoiler alert: the result of the Bathurst 12-Hour will be discussed in this story. Obviously it's mentioned in the video too. So if you're planning a marathon highlights session once Monday is done, look away now!

If this brief vid is anything to go by, it looks like it was another Bathurst enduro epic. Sure, there are some crashes featured here - alright, quite a lot of crashes really - but also some displays of spectacular driving too. Wait until you see the 488 overtake the AMG GT3 down Conrod Straight (and some of the grass on Conrod Straight) and you'll see what we mean.

The Ferrari actually went on to take victory, the trio of Toni Vilander, Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup the only finishers to record an average speed of over 150kph. They also took a fastest lap of 2:02.908. There was good news for the British teams too, with a Bentley Continental GT3 on the podium in third and the McLaren 650S GT3 of Alvaro Parente, Rob Bell and Come Ledogar in fifth. As ever, Bathurst has delivered! If you spend longer than two minutes watching Bathurst highlights then PH can't be blamed...

Nice little video.

Anyone know what came out of the exhaust of the 650?

Parts of thr catalytic converter, it appeared. The car finished 5th after a hard reset in the pits - no turbos were changed.
Thank you. smile
