Great racing , thanks for the heads up ! Streaming is perfect, love the Cobra Daytona replica competing.
It is, Aston in the lead then SLS, then GTR, then Bentley. Hoping Montermini returns the #49 458 on the same lap as the leaders with an hour and a half left. Patrick Long seems to be a fan of the track, called it one of the best in the world.
Incredible victory for Nissan GTR Nismo 2nd place Audi R8 LMS 3rd place Aston Martin Vantage 4th place Bentley Continental 5th place Mercedes SLS AMG 6th place Ferrari 458 Italia
I had to Zzzz out with less than two hours to go, gratz to Nissan and their GT Academy drivers. I really love their willingness to try new approaches. They are revitalizing automobiles. Pretty amazing feat to be the Audi, that was a strong entry. The Aston must of been sleeping to climb to the podium. I've never gotten to watch the 12hr before, caught 10 hours of it, loved the cars entered. From V8 super cars, I already knew the track was awesome.
Those final laps were mesmerizing. Interesting background on the GTR drivers - two of them came up through the GT Academy program, a "competition that gives Gran Turismo players the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become a real-life professional driver." Pretty cool. Nissan wins the Bathurst 12 Hour with GT Academy drivers behind the wheel
Very cool.....although the 'professional driver' on the team really pulled it out on the last lap......
