Ooooh s**t that was close. The leader just passed a backmarker and had to go into the pit entry to pass him..... trouble was the backmarker was trying to pit.
Race control might have something to say although no contact and no harm done that an underwear change for Juncadella wont fix. |

The only complaint I have is that they started the race an hour later than I remember. I'm fading fast as it's 2am here but I'll make it to the end.
Edit - I realize that is because it is nearing winter there and they have to preserve light. |

That's probably part of it. Hopefully, they can return to the normal February start date with no travel restrictions next year!

Yep, and we've gone the other way. I'm too tired to figure it out. Two laps left,!

"I'm speechless. I've got half a woody I'm so excited," said expat Aussie Habul, who was ecstatic with the victory.

Very pleased for Habul .... even if only because he brought his own car over and paid for Triple 8 to run it for him, but managed to beat their works entry, plus other International Professional teams for the win.
And he loves Bathurst. So much so he bought a 17 acre property on Conrod Straight to base himself whilst racing there every year. And he is very likeable. I cant imagine what the party would have been like at his place last night! |

So this was part of the Australian Endurance Championship, not the GT World Challenge Series?

None the less a decent race with varying conditions and a bit of night (dark early am) racing for those there and after 12 hours there was less than 10 seconds in it between the Kenny Habul SunEnergy1 and Craft Bamboo teams in 1st and 2nd. I do believe the event was also part of the GT WORLD CHALLENGE AUSTRALIA championship which started their season at Phillip Island in March, and next goes to SMP/Eastern Creek. (Full calendar I couldnt find on the Aus GT website but is here:https://www.speedcafe.com/event-cate...-championship/ ) Edit just noticed after posting that you are Aussie based so you may well be aware of all this. If thats the case apologies. Last edited by E.B; 16 May 2022 at 23:57. |
