Well,What a weekend at Bathurst.We had the Four seasons (Rain,Storm,wind,hot) all weekend.Add that kinda of Weather to a 24hr race,you know its going to be a race to remeber.We got there at bathurst early Saturday Morning.We Decide to camp at the top of the Mountain at Skyline.We setup and went to bed in the wet muddy ground.
The Next Morning,I woke to the Noise of Porsches Screaming past my tent as we pitch the tent 10 metre from the track,.The track was flooded and the fog was thick as.Anyway,We Watch the Carrera Cup while having Breakfast.The race was can half way through due to the track conditions.
Next event was the V8 Brute(holden Utes VS Falcon Utes).I knew this was going to be fun to watch.And I was right.As they had a partatice lap,one of the Holden utes went into the wall at 140km/hr sideways.Right in front of us.The Front end was smashed up.The track was so wet,it was impossible to go around the corner without getting sideways,I Dunno who won??Anyway,They had the holden Storm riders next with some insane stunt driving that you proably only see in FNF.And then they had some old school Group A Touring Cars from the late 80s.Including a R32 GTR skyline.
By the time that all happend,it was 2 pm and it was time for the big race.The Holden Monaros where Placed on pole.But I was more keen to watch the porsche 911 GT3 RC and GT3 RS.The Porsche look quicker than the Monaros and sounded alot louder.But Proably my favourite car there was the Lmaborghini Diablo GT-R.The sound of that V12 was like awesome,.Nothing on the road came close to it.The Weather kept changing every hour.One minute it was Hot and the next there was a thunder storm.By tea time,I was on the Piss.And watching both the race and the Rugby Union world cup.As the World Cup started,a BMW 23M coupe went off the track hovering above the sand trap and straight into the tyrer wall then hit it and rolled on to its roof.The driver was trap for 15 minutes in the car.From that time,I was on the piss and I can't remeber much then a honda S2000 Spining right in front of us and saving it before going to the concrete wall.
I fell asleep at 2.30am.And didn't woke up till 7.30am on sunday morning.The Monaro where in the lead.We packed up and then headed down the bottom of the chase and watch the cars coming down the mountain hitting speeds of 270km/hr.By Lunch time the brock Monaro was in a Dual to over take the 427 Monaro,.And 1 hr short of the finish the 427 Monaro had to come in to check the Diff.The Brock 05 Monaro was in the lead but with the 427 Monaro right on its heels,one slip up and brock would loose his 10th.One the last lap one the porsche Crashed at the cutting.And it was the perfect chance for the 427 Monaro to over take but the 05 Monaro didn't let it,and the 05 Monaro took first place in bathurst 24hr.While The 427 came second.
What a weekend.
