Everyone's talking about the Porsche but no one's talking about the AMG who held off of line of cars with bad tires for the rest of the laps and still took 3rd. Gg
I drove Bathurst back in 1982 when Conrod straight went straight the whole way down. The braking at the end of that was terrifying. You actually got airborne at the second hump, which is where the kink is today. It's a whole lot steeper over Skyline than you can see on TV or even in sims too, real roller coaster stuff.
Every minute of that was exciting to watch. You couldn’t script a better finish and it’s just amazing how time and again races at Bathurst end this way. Thank you

@@Random415510 Yep... People bring up F1 on videos that have nothing to do with F1. The insecurity is laughable, but there's some good drivers here. Respect to the drivers.

When Porsche decides to enter a new race you know it is going to be bad day for the rest of the field. Le Mans dame happened when Porsche came back after long lay off and won 3 years in a row. Nurburgring 24hr dame result last year and now Bathurst. Porsche has the best race cars and best team behind it
Remember this was the first time they won at bathurst. Manthey Racing themselves got "defeated" by this race, they're far from the most succesful manufacturer at the Mountain. But cant say i disagree, Porsche are always a rival to keep an eye on.
@@RAZINSI To be fair, it felt like Porsche were a lot more in contention than their lap times shown all weekend.

@@paulflitcroft3269 i know. I was rooting for the porsche against any other, but i wanted aston martin to win. In the end my theory about racing proved right. You can't beat properly driven lighter car in a race that lasts more than 5minutes.
Bathurst is bonkers. Would love to drive it someday. Great race. Bamber said it the best at the end - "that was a proper motorrace". Damn right it was.
Being a Porsche lifer, I do believe that Porsche have been elevating the benchmark of automobile endurance for decades! The 911 is the best sports car range ever created, handsdown. Major props to that yellow Merc for holding off the attacking field behind it!
Because Bathurst is among the greatest circuits in the world- I always think of it like Laguna Seca got its corkscrew dragged out over an entire downhill corridor, and it's complimented so well by the two massive straights, it's my personal favorite.
I watch just about all road racing series like IMSA and Blancpain but this is one of the few coverages where I actually get a real sense of speed. This is amazing.
Wow - that was an awesome ending! Been club racing a Porsche for 20 years, and at all levels of racing the rush of battling a tightly fought race to the end is living at it's best.
The MARC Mustang would probably be very competitive against the GT3 cars, but they don't allow it to compete. It's restricted to running a lap time that keeps it off the GT3 pace.
It was awesome being there to witness this finish in person. Campbell and SVG were immense, and Marciello put on one of the best defensive drives I've ever seen.
Stupid or not, it is a rule and it is stupid to fall for it. Maybe the team should send a radio message reminding the driver since this is such an instinct thing to do.
This is what happens when you let teams race and develop democratically. So much for ticket revenue allocations based on template contracts that steal any incentive to win. Hello F1! You watching?
FullFledged2010 F1 elitists: “F1 iS tHe BeSt. NoThInG cAn CoMpArEd tO iT” aka morons who think speed and skill go hand and hand, when in reality F1 has become a hot-lap parade. Try driving 150mph 10 feet from the car in front around the thighs turns, narrow space, and insane elevation changes of Mount Panorama, because that takes F1 levels of skill
Brian Anshen I'll be the first to admit F1 is nowhere near as good as it used to be. But there seems to be this trend of shitting all over F1 for any reason imaginable...and it's getting rather annoying.

So the safety car left & the Nissan was still weaving; why did he get a drive-through penalty for that? I mean he's completely binned the whole race with just a tiny mistake like that. He probably won't ever be able to make that up in a race at such level.. :/
It's just one of the rules i guess, once the safety car's lights are out the cars have to stop weaving and prepare for the race to start again. I'm not really sure but maybe it's because the car that is still weaving will have higher tire temps than the others, meaning once the race starts up again said car would have a better chance at gaining positions.
for the australian races u cant weave after lights out on safety car. its the only race in gt3 which has that rule so it always catches out the regular gt3 drivers
Because the FIA or CAMS etc are always looking for ways to show their superiority and fuck it for the fans. It may be a rule, but why, and why would you ultimately be disqualified for it, that's fucked.
