Gizzy is the best. Such a fan of his.

What a race though - I would absolutely love to compete in this. Awesome.

Really superb stuff.

Think I'll have to go one year. Takes an age to get to Le Mans 24hr in my MGB. This drive might be a little longer?!

Bathurst has always been on the bucket list, but the 12 hours has now overtaken the 1000km for me

First the Daytona 24h wasn't on Motors TV and now this isn't either. I wonder what they're doing over at HQ?!

This has never been on Motors TV, there was an amusing discussion on Facebook this week with lots of people being absolutely certain that they'd watched last years race on Motors when in fact they were mistaken. It does highlight how good the live stream is though.

That Daytona coupé sounds best following by the Bentleys. Were having fun drinking beer on the infield at the exit of the chase. Great weekend.

I watched 10 of the 12 hours (race started at 22:45 for me). Remember the MARC Cars car that blew a tyre at the end of Conrod straight early in the race? That was my mate driving. New tyres and underpants please.

This has joined my bucket list as a "must enter at some point"...

As has been said earlier, great mix of drivers, cars, kangaroos and pit crew skill...

Was definitely worth the late night watching...

Even after the race had finished it was trending at something like 24600 tweets compared to 6000 for Formula E which had loads of live tv and makes a thing of it's social media engagement.

Despite it not being on live TV the live full HD broadcast on Youtube was brilliant, I have a 100meg connection at home so streamed on my TV in 1080P, as well as my laptop on with the live timing and track positioning open. Only once did I get a brief buffering on the TV (about 3-5 seconds) in the evening and it went off completely about 1am funnily enough around 6hours after I started the stream so may have been a timeout?
Was great coverage.
