2018 Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12HR - Race DiscussionSports Cars

I always find it weird that they start in the dark but let's go!

Maybe just an hour later when the sun is just peaking over the horizon? You'll get the full night driving at the end of the race. This just looks weird, like you wake up at midnight to go to work.

Nevermind, sun is already coming up.

Chaz does the same thing in the Bathurst 6H production car race. Always exciting to see him pushing 100%.

Are you gonna watch or "participate" yourself in a PCars 2 remake?

 

[Spacegoat]

MARC Focus mashed up.

One thing to be taken out on the first lap, it's another to get taken out before the first lap. Hopefully they can get that car repaired.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Deutschezilla!

The big bad Bentley's on the move, Guy Smith up to 6th.

Kind of looks like last weekend at the moment when the Ford GT's ran away from the GTLM field. BMW seems to have everybody covered right now.

I think it's cool they start in the dark rather than finish in it like everyone else does.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Being 12 hours won't they still reach sunset?

Ah crap. The #777. Looks like suspension failure.

Edit: hr made a costly mistake. Well, still early in the race.

 

[Spacegoat]

What a shame for the Lambo. Outstanding first stint from Youlden.

 

[-Fred-]

Well that was intense! And that should be a penalty for #75...

 

[05XR8]

Jeez! Being a bit cheeky there.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Disappointed that the other classes are getting almost no coverage.

 

[05XR8]

It's Summer here. Gets dark around 8pm.

Big crash by the KTM.

Edit: True about the class coverage. AGT are adding GT4 to the series, should be promoting it.

That Continental road car looks awesome.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Audi into the wall and chaos ensues after everyone checks up to avoid the Audi.

 

[MaddinICE]

Big crash for two Audis and the #67 MARC Mustang, thats a shame, it was leading the Invitational Class...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Seeing ambulance and stretcher on the scene. Hopefully just precautionary.

 

[MaddinICE]

#18 Bentley stopped on track under SC.

EDIT: Got back to the pits on its own.

 

[Adam41]

That BMW out front is insane.

 

[05XR8]

Skippy Jr makes an appearance.

Timo in the #100 has also done an excellent job. Those Porsches are in their stride now. Gonna be an interesting next couple of hours, when the BMWs switch drivers.

 

[MaddinICE]

#4 spins two times in two corners, #44 BMW bins it at the Bentley Elbow and loses its right front wheel. SC once more.

 

[MaddinICE]

Seeing ambulance and stretcher on the scene. Hopefully just precautionary.

 

[05XR8]

Please tell me Longhurst wasn't driving....

Edit: wrong car.

 

[MaddinICE]

Heavy crash for the #3 Audi in the Porsche Hell Corner.
5th Safety Car.

 

[05XR8]

Goodness. All happening now. Amazing for the #100. Still loooong way to go.

 

[-Fred-]

I leave to run errands for an hour and all the madness happens!

 

[05XR8]

Haha Augusto Farfus view on Bathurst.

 

[raven214]

Just checked in on my (slightly aging) laptop and the stream is rock solid. That Audi going off in turn 1 must've taken a pretty wicked hit.

The interview with the driver going on the PlayStation to get a feel for the track was pretty cool. I was racing there last night in Forza 7 and I actually kept trying to pop my ears as I went uphill lol.

 

[MaddinICE]

1 minute penalty for the #4 Porsche - Contact with the medical car

 

[-Fred-]

Wheels are now sentient and don't want to be on cars anymore.

Penalty for the #4 Porsche - Contact with the medical car

I'd park that thing stat.

 

[MaddinICE]

6th safety car, wheel of the #65 Daytona Coupe comes loose at the last corner.
