I'm envious of you guys overseas because at least the race starts at a reasonable time for you! Can't wait, this years race is going to be sonething special, if the quality of the grid is anything to go by!

A late driver change for the Nissan team as Buncombe is expecting his first child. This puts 2 Academy winners in the car now.

The Bentleys alone are going to make this spectacular!

And ironically, after the Nissan Commercial from the Super bowl aired.

That Ford though...

 

[GTracer38]

Can't wait! I head up on Thursday and come back Monday. First 12hr for me so hopefully it's a good one XD

The Bentley's look like they will be strong.

A crocodile Audi R8? How familiar

AF Corse Withdraws Second Ferrari from Bathurst 12Hr

 

[Spacegoat]

If that looks half as good in the race as it does in that render.

That's a nice livery on the RX-8s.

I'm not a Ferrari supporter, but damn.

There's a technical term for this in Motorsport but I can't post it

 

[catamount39]

Another 🤬 Ferrari/Aston accident? I don't even...

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Sounds like AF have "found" a spare 458......

Suppose someone may be missing a 458 ( reminds me of what happened to a gallardo a few years ago)

 

[Spacegoat]

Sounds like AF have "found" a spare 458.....

The spare would be AF Corse's second 458 which was withdrawn from the event earlier this week. Hopefully Maranello can get a deal struck with AF to use it for the race.

 

[saveimageas]

Nooooooooooo

 

[05XR8]

Oh no

 

[CodeRedR51]

Eh, certainly repairable. Unlike the Ferrari from earlier.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Hopefully the nature of the circuit doesn't force too many teams to retire before the race even begins!

 

[Jav]

So nice to se those RX8's come back to life! My favorite cars from the Rolex GrandAm days!

 

[Mac K]

RX-8 goes "braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

 

[CodeRedR51]

RX-8 goes "braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppppppp"

Fixed.

 

[Spacegoat]

Nooooooooooo

Glad it happened today and not on Sunday. Thankfully it doesn't look that bad.

 

[Shinshiki]

So excited for this! Bathurst always produces some great races.

Hope Maranello Motorsports gets their hands on AF Corse's spare chassis.
