How’s the other Bentley going?

I assume you mean the non-destroyed one.

9th with Jules Gounon driving.

 

[CodeRedR51]

How’s the other Bentley going?

One of them blew a tire and went swimming in the gravel trap.

How’s the other Bentley going?

Sitting in 9th place I think

67 MARC Cars Mustang just went off at the top of the hill

 

[05XR8]

Those Mustangs sound mean.

And a quick trip through the equestrian course.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

That Mustang caught some hang time there.

Nr.67: 'Oh nice view'

 

[ScottPuss20]

And a quick trip through the equestrian course.

Oh dear the other Mustang has caught fire. Safety car out.

 

[Northstar]

Viper is dead on track and a Mustang is on fire.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

MARC just has not had a good day today....

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Is Paul Morris still wearing his 2014 Bathurst 1000 winning race suit?

Edit: Just his Stadium Super Truck suit.

 

[05XR8]

Unbelievable. Why don't they have suits on? Why bother having extinguishers when noone knows how to use them? Silly.

Edit: Paul looked like he was about to punch someone.

 

[iFuriousRacer]

Yeah poor work with the fire extinguisher indeed but when racecars are still passing at race pace, it's safer not to walk onto the racetrack.

Still can't get how bright that Manthey 911 is... it's messing with my monitor.

That is the most pathetic display of kitty litter dispensing I've ever seen.

What got me, is that it makes a "Marshall" useless, wearing a T-shirt, bare hands and sneakers. I agree, didn't expect anyone to enter the track. She did look at Paul, maybe to check if was on fire, but jeez, I've seen where marshalls are in full overalls, face gear, gloves, all day in the heat.

Shoot, the flag Marshall should have given the flag over and helped douse the flames. Glad Paul is okay. At least the #91 is healthy. Whew. 5 hours to go.

Huge crash for the 88 Ginetta.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

That Ginetta is completely destroyed.

 

[NW48]

Heavy impact there for the Ginetta. Another safety car out. Get ready for another 5 ad breaks, fellow Aussie viewers.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Looks as though a Porsche bumped the Ginetta on the inside

 

[-Fred-]

Never want to see it happen that way, but that'll help the Bentley and 911 quite a bit.

Almost looked like there was no brakes on that 911

 

[iFuriousRacer]

That poor little Ginetta. That was a typical 'online crash'. Car with the inside line braking too late and taking out the car on the outside line...

 

[05XR8]

Heavy impact there for the Ginetta. Another safety car out. Get ready for another 5 ad breaks, fellow Aussie viewers.

Might book one of those $35k cruises or buy a place in Valhalla. It'll be a shorter trip to heaven for me and the wife.

5 minute penalty for the 21 Porsche, well deserved.

 

[Pete05]

5 minute penalty for driving like a complete tool 👍

 

[iFuriousRacer]

I just wanted to say well deserved penalty! As the commenators say, it's a good and clear signal of the race marshalls.
Edit: penalty for 'reckless driving' says it all.

 

[Jezza819]

Looks as though a Porsche bumped the Ginetta on the inside

Just received a 5 minute stop and hold for that dive in.

 

[Northstar]

Daytona Coupe is dead now.

Not a good day for the invitational class.

Edit: SC #12

 

[-Fred-]

I might have missed it, but is the brake change mandatory like it is for the Spa 24h?

 

[LumpiestFish]

If this was a Bathurst 1000 it would’ve taken 7 Hours and 20 minutes. Which is a pretty long Bathurst 1000.

If it was, it's the wrong time of year and the cars look odd.
