2015 12 Bathurst 12 Hour Live Stream.jpg

The Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour endurance race is one of the the largest motorsport events held in Australia. RaceDepartment is proud to provide a live stream broadcast all weekend long of this stunning endurance race on one of the world's most iconic racing circuits: Mount Panorama Bathurst.


The 12 hours of Bathurst is the only international endurance race held on Australian shores. With 53 teams competing in this years race, the only logical track to play host to this titanic battle is the iconic Mount Panorama: 6.2 kilometres of undulating twists and turns as the cars snake their way up the mountain (literally), and then back down again along the Conrod Straight (the longest straight on any race track in the Southern Hemisphere), GT3 cars will readily reach speeds in excess of 270 kph.

The Cars
For the first time this year, Australia will get a taste of the Bentley Continental GT3 which won the Blancpain Endurance race in 2014 at Silverstone. The relatively gigantic Bentley looks almost out of place on a race track, however it commands respect with the speed and power under it's enormous bonnet.

There are six classes racing in this years main event.

  • Bentley Continental GT3

  • Will include all the cars listed above in the Pro-AM class, with the additions of the 2012 McLaren MP4-12C GT3, and the Nissan NISMO GTR GT3.

  • Ginetta G50 GT4
  • Aston Martin Vantage GT4

The Track
Mount Panorama, or as it's more commonly known, Bathurst, is the longest, most legendary, and most dangerous race track that Australia has to offer. It's best known for the epic battles between Holden and Ford in the V8 Supercars Bathurst 1000. However, whilst the 12 Hour race is lesser known to the general public, it is for my money, a better event. The cars are nicer looking, faster and more populous, and the race itself is twice as long as the V8 Supercars race.

Yep! I'm going to watch every minute of it.
The first time I'll actually be able to watch an endurance race from start to finish. We don't get too much of it down here, so when it does come I've got to make the most of it haha!
 
One of my favorite races of the year.
Gotta stock up on caffeine!
Lets just hope nobody hits a kangaroo this year...
I hope someday they go a full 24 hours :devilish:
