Race Highlights: 2024 Repco Bathurst 12 Hour

[@t.thalheim]

Many thanks for the free, high-quality stream and the great coverage of the whole track. And big thanks to you Aussies for hosting such an iconic race on such an awesome track and continuing the tradition. Greetings from Austria - where there are no kangaroos ;-)

[@AlexWhy-jc5jv]

I think the Audi's scared them off as they are so loud :D

[@DirtySlapper99]

Yeah they've got fences everywhere now but skippy will always find his way

[@Gix321]

We may have kangaroos. At least you have a free stream of Bathurst 12 hr because we don't. Much like a lot of other sport in our country. It all gets bought out by our shitty excuse for a cable network called Foxtel. So unfortunately unless you pay money to them we can't watch one of the most famous races in the world held in our very own country.

The rain really shook things up, because passing looked particularly difficult this year. Still a solid race at a beautiful track, can't think of a bad Bathurst 12h. Campbell keeps his streak after Daytona, Vanthoor finally wins this race after so many years, and Guven was a revelation, that guy's good!

[@robcharengel9998]

It is absolutly unimportant... But Guven raised and lived in an little town like mine only 15miles away Dont know why.....but it makes me kind of proud......sitting here almoust 14.000km away and seeing my "neighbour " doing such a great race

[@ragereset2795]

Don't forget Larry was almost throwing up in his mouth during his morning stint. It's on the Over The Limit podcast. Echo everything you said, so great to see our little race track on the world stage. Amazing work from everyone involved. Can't believe there's a whole year to go.. ☹️

[@AlexWhy-jc5jv]

I would have rather to sleep in but I decided to bring myself up to the Mount at 5:30 am in the morning to watch this great start under the night sky

[@ScottEDawg]

Are you sure it wasn't 5:30 am in the evening?

[@AlexWhy-jc5jv]

@@ScottEDawg it could've been either I don't know

[@ScottEDawg]

@@AlexWhy-jc5jv Sorry, just being a little pedantic over the use of redundancies. But I can understand the discombobulation of being awake at extremely unusual times and the odd feeling that goes along with it.

[@AlexWhy-jc5jv]

@@ScottEDawg I know it's not extremely as it's only an hour or so before I actually wake up so it doesn't really make sense xD

[@ScottEDawg]

@@AlexWhy-jc5jv And THAT is where it starts to mess with your head. You know how you can nod off for 5 minutes but it feels like 5 hours and when you wake up you don't know where you are or what day is? Well, it's the same sort of thing. Your brain didn't get the rest it needed (or is used to), so it will fight back and deny you reality for a minute or so...

[@Jt7166]

Thanks for posting a really highlights package so quickly, take notes WEC 😂

[@jamesqualls8125]

Impressive, similar to the 12 hours at Sebring in the US. Except that you have mountains while the track in the US is 100% flat. 😊😊. You need to invite NASCAR to have either a exhibition racing or real racing. Except it could be between 250 and 500 km. miles

[@warboyrb]

Had a bunch of mates in my mancave watching this from 5:45am, great day - plenty of coffee, bacon and eggs plus beers later in the day kept us going. World class event, hopefully it's all in 4K next year, but ideally it will be a camping trip to the Mountain.

[@mikevanblommestein5726]

What a great way to spend the day !

[@DanielFrost79]

I would prefer a higher bitrate and 1440p. 4k is overrated, atleast to me it's never at a high enough bitrate to be crisp and sharp enough.

[@ray.shoesmith]

I wouldn't have minded an invite to that 😉😂

[@Aidan_-_]

Some of the best racing you'll ever see ! Thank you for the free KZbin stream yesterday !!!

[@Judith-c6r]

From the UK. I remember watching a race from Bathurst as a child in the early 60s, the memories have remained with me now in old age. I love the variation in each part of the track. GT is fabulous, the sound and the racing. I look forward in going to watch them at Brands Hatch one of my favourite tracks in the UK. Thank you for a fabulous film.

[@morafi6685]

I am so happy for matt campbell. I remember watching him in a porsche documentary here on youtube where he was just starting out as a porsche driver. He was just happy to be there and now he owns the mountain. Cheers

[@pjetrs]

same here, dude seems very humble but ambitious and is very talented

[@LachieHartung]

First time watching one of these from start to finish, up at 5:30am on a Sunday morning wasn’t planned but just happened, and loved it, definitely doing it again

[@vaughneaston733]

Let’s give it up for Bathurst Weather! Got a few more laps in darkness than the last few years, beautiful sunrise, sunny morning, then STORM, the weather put on a great show.

[@QF_Dan72]

i stayed up 12 hours for this and the race really delivers

[@sdx3918]

I feel like throughout The race the invitational class cars managed to become like the most important side character in a movie with how many accidents, spins and traffic jams they caused lol.

[@aojracing4885]

The Vortex and Ginetta were the comedic relief duo.

[@nzharveynz]

They were massively restricted, with the inv class not aloud to go quicker than a 2:06 and throughout the week having different restrictors put in before the throttle body going from 100mm to 75 then 70 then 62 then 54mm, and limited rpm to 7200 and Cambers max 4deg, the mustangs were 15 kph quicker than the front runners down conrod and the main game guys were blowing up during practice they couldn't pass them, the orange mustang got taken out twice in the race by the same merc causing massive mechanical repairs,,

[@lachychops2]

​@@nzharveynzthe mustang gt3 will be proper quick next year it seems

[@onedriftyboy]

@@aojracing4885It was comedy untill they murdered the pole setter #32 BMW @ 11:27 min. I was rooting for SVL to take on the Grello and I think we got robbed of a battle there :,( Was determend to watch the whole 12h, but went to bed very sad instead.

[@aojracing4885]

@@onedriftyboy Honestly I agree with the announcer there, that was a very risky move by the BMW into a 1 line corner, the Ginetta driver couldn't do much there. Still sad as you say, that car would have been a contender.

[@TBSWORLD77]

That Pirelli Speed Camera shot was amazing!

[@FanAtTheFence]

Great event as always! I was disappointed to see a single file start to the race, but understand it decreases the chances of an early crash. Great entertainment for the next 12 hours though 🏁

As a proud flaggie on 1.3 it was a great one especially to review the highlights afterwards. Awesome to match up what was going on when on comms as we only get to hear a lot of whats happening and see only a small window. Pretty impressive work by many to bring it all off for another year. 500 this weekend makes this a fantastic round trip for us all. Respect to all that support and spectate hard ;)

[@GarryOzols]

Man, I remember being a flagie at the very first one, we had to learn and make stuff up as we went (well not so much making stuff up as adjusting existing things so they worked better in the dark) We had colored reflective panes and flour tube light stands at the flag points so the drivers could see Yellos and Blues and all the other colours, It was just pure fun :-)

[@jamakamicka]

Way Gary! The lights this year where pretty dazzling must say, even looking down for a sec blue or green was momentarily hard to distinguish hey lol

Better than the 1000 as usual. I’ll never watch on 7 again! Adds were absolutely ridiculous!!

[@clintmcadie2675]

Could not agree more. I clocked the longest stint between ads at around 25-27 minutes. That was between 11 to 10 hours 30 minutes to run. Ads every 7-8 minutes at 3:30-4 minutes is just not acceptable. Estimated we lost between 3-4 hours of total time. Lose a quarter to a third of a footy match and see what happens.

this was a really good race. I enjoyed watching it. The part I did not like, was watching the GT4 and MARC cars. I totally understand why those cars are there. Its important to have local Aussie brands and teams. they mean a lot to many people. but I feel that their participation hurt the overall quality and consistency.....it wasn't horrible, just noticeable.

[@yuanedo795]

It's endurance racing, specifically GT racing, where production-based sports car (and in some races, homebuilt racers) compete for several hours. Bathurst 12 Hours is currently part of Intercontinental GT Challenge, and is usually regarded as one of the three endurance racing curtain-raiser for the year (tge other two being Dubai 24 Hours and Daytona 24 Hours, both in January). IGTC races (along with GT World Challenge, British GT and French GT) are streamed at GTWorld channel, and in some cases specific event channels as well like this one And this year you're in huge luck, because IGTC's next round is the world famous Nurburgring 24 Hours at June, one of the most difficult of them all and the one with most entries (usually 120+ cars every year), ranging from family hatchbacks to the cars you see here
