I only intended to skip through this video but couldn't take my eyes off it for the whole length. Definitely holds a claim to most exciting motorsport event in the world.
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.
@@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.
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
@@MArtbboy but hang on you beloved aston martin had 12 cyclinders and a heap more tow than that Porsche yet it couldnt match it for pace..and yes a hell of driver
@@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.
It would but maybe not, they did say the AMG and other cars behind them had newer tires, they couldn't have kept up with the Porsche or Aston in these cases
What an amazing racetrack. The elevation changes and curves are epic. Also even more epic is the selection of vehicles. I dare say this was somewhat more refreshing to watch than F1.
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.
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.
@@RAZINSKI To be fair, it felt like Porsche were a lot more in contention than their lap times shown all weekend. Hindi and the team brought them up really early , and it was a well known fact their fuel economy was great and the car was one of the most sensible with tyre wear. You just cant ignore a factory Porsche, even when it seems "innocent".
Watched pretty much the whole 12 hour and it was amazing. Every single moment. I recommend people who haven’t watched the whole thing, you definitely should! Hoping one day I can be there for the race
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wooow!! 30 Min. Spannung pur!! Selten derart mitgefiebert. Meine Gratulation an Porsche und das komplette Team!! Hoffe, wir sehen noch mehr davon. Habe das Rennen herunter geladen und auf DVD gebrannt. Ein ganz großes Dankeschön an Dich "Streptococcus", für diese fantastischen und professionellen Bilder. Du hast uns Motorsportfans ein echtes Sahnebonbon vorgesetzt!! Mein Abo hast Du!
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?

Its 5am, just wanted watch one last video and planned to skip to the interessing parts.
I watched the whole thing. No regrets.
@@OmegaBot haha same
That’s exactly what happened to me
Same here😅
That Porsche's move was insane.
God these cars are gorgeous.
all of them
Yep
look great, sound bloody awesome
@@robpaton2981 the sound, specially, I think is the best one of all motorsports. Can't think of anything better
@@carlitoxb110 The KTM is pretty ugly....
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
JayRonin I agree, that was masterful driving by the AMG #999
Raffaele Marciello is a great driver.
For real!!!
I stand with the AMG who was 4th -_-
Italian driving at it's finest. Nice
Anyone who's driven in sim racing knows this is a challenging circuit.
One of the most technical. You absolutely have to know and trust your car
My mate has raced there and I remember him saying "Oh F#%k!" over the radio to me the first time he went over Skyline.
Exactly. I love playing in Bathurst
Everyone seems to suck at this track in Project Cars 2 but I always win here.
Same thing with Imola and Zolder...

Campbell’s life changed because of this fantastic move!
Congrats Matt Being part of Porsche 963 !
Now a Daytona overall winner as well!
I think Matt Campbell;s pass on the Aston was the best I have ever seen.
did the ol' switcharoo
hardly, there's been overtakes at places harder to overtake with cars literally on 3 wheels.
@@ben-th5cg I want to see this, can you recommend any?
@@sjb122 watch Jordan cox's overtake. Its scary to even watch. Never seen anyone over take at that place like that before.
HOLY MOLY! Did an overtake on THAT corner? He MUSCLED that move there
That move by the Porsche was crazy good............... so easy to spin each other out, very good 20 minutes of racing.
Porches are notorious tail-sliders.
What series is this
The driver in the Porsche squeezed it , crazy move !
7:26 That car doesn't wanna turn, doesn't wanna stop or doesn't wanna accelerate... apart from that its great!
Absolutely beautiful commentary
John Hindhaugh is the best
That was a great line!!
A car that just can't car
6 different cars in the top7, this is great racing. F1 should take notes.
There's actually 7 different cars in the top 7!
@@shadowgaming6660 I meant the car brands, there were 2 Mercs.
They're also not aero dependent, open wheeled race cars, among other things. Use your head maybe?
What is F1 supposed to do? Only let one Ferrari into the top 5?
@@tonydraht No, but I would like to see close racing between most if not all of the brands, not just 2-3 brands total.
That was the most fun I've ever had watching a 3rd place fight. Great driving from Murciello.
Having all that pressure and holding position...amazing
Try this one for size: czcams.com/video/LWnOQ3-Tmds/video.html
Marciello * 😉
That Porsche driver is a machine!!! Awesome!!
No, the car is
Yeah He did great!
Jose Sales no its the driver
IT"S BOTH! Stop arguing!
Guys, it's a joke
These 20 minutes are better than 10 f1 races
best answer ever!
If you don't like F1 don't watch. F1 will always be the mountain top of racing GT racing is where bad F1 drivers go to be forgotten about.
@@Random415510 Absolutely no doubt about F1 drivers level. But races are boring and probably.....too much politically driven.
They said this year there will be more competition, FIA regulations changed so easier overtake and less dirty air.
@@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.
I was there, at the top of the Mountain, and the atmosphere was unreal
Fridolin Fickwicht You didn’t keep them to yourself? Your profile picture is contradicting.
There's never enough cookies!
I can imagine mate...
Only Seen it live here on CZcams and even that was soo good 😆
Increadible circuit, Australian F1 gp in Mount Panorama.
Commentator 12:45 it´s difficult to overtake . Porsche 13:00 hold my beer 😂😂😂
thats one of the best overtakes i ever saw for sure
Lmfaoo!!!
"I've jusy had the feeling!" ... lol
😂🤣🤣
He absolutely sent it
thank you for the upload, and not spoiling it
Best. Comment. Ever.
I'm glad I read your comment before watching this.
Now I'll scroll down no further and go watch!
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
Absolutely first time watching the whole thing and it was a blast
The 12 hour race at the most difficult track is one of the best we've seen here!
@@midnitestate yep Bathurst never disappoints with it's racing, you should see 2015's finish
@@jackietang3789 And you should see 2012's finish
@@jackietang3789 Yea that GTR came out of nowhere in 2015 they had that one
Look at that Porsche...poetry in motion
That's one way to describe it, another way would be EFFIN' RAPID
i'm aston martin fan, so i will say this porsche was nothing special... but it's driver was out of this world.
@@MArtbboy but hang on you beloved aston martin had 12 cyclinders and a heap more tow than that Porsche yet it couldnt match it for pace..and yes a hell of driver

I love how the Bentleys have their numbers painted on their grilles. Just like in the old days.
The yellow Merc holding onto 3rd like a trooper, good job.
Respect to the yellow Merc with bad tires, would probably give a good fight with ok tires
yeah, it quickly would have turned into a 2nd and 3rd place fight
the crazy thing is to that GruppeM also served a drive through and still got a podium finish! great team and great drive by Marciello
It would but maybe not, they did say the AMG and other cars behind them had newer tires, they couldn't have kept up with the Porsche or Aston in these cases
Marciello never gives up risks everything to defend 3 cars who try to overtook him for getting podium spots. What a talent
What an amazing racetrack. The elevation changes and curves are epic. Also even more epic is the selection of vehicles. I dare say this was somewhat more refreshing to watch than F1.
Sure 💯
First time saw this race and now I'm hooked! That Porsche and its driver was on fire af! Made my day!
John Hindhaugh is such an amazing commentator. Cannot imagine Sports Car racing without listening to him.
The way the Porsche was on that AMG makes me moist.
Stop
Y u haf to be mad. It just game
Wkwkkkkkkkk

Yesss mate that was gorgeous
5:26 one of the best dummy maneuvers I've ever seen! Brilliant!
The yellow Merc had bad tires
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.
Thank you so much for this upload. The most exciting and tense racing I've ever seen! Still can't get over that pass and the emotion from Earl!!!
One of the best races I've seen in a while. I've come back to this video many times.

I was at the race was awesome Bathurst 12hr and 1000 are two of the most exciting races in the world

Some Asshole On CZcams I think of Laguna Seca as 2nd Bathrust😅 but that's because I first knew Mt. Panorama. But a brilliant circuits both.
One of the greatest races I have watched in a long while. Great job Porsche
Amazing, I was on the edge of my seat. I so wanted the Porsche to get the win. That switch back pass was sublime. Congratulations, Michael in Toronto.
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.
Fantastic! I was in the live stream but its worth a second watch! : D
Did our first camping trip to the mountain for this race. Was worth every cent. Awsome way to camp.
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.
I could watch this all day! Well, at least half a day. Great stuff.
21:13 That mustang might not be the fastest car around..or fast at all really, but it might take the price for the best sound on the field.
Excludos agreed
It is styled after Mustangs, but it is an Australian car called MARC II.
Lol, I was thinking the same thing !!!!
Lol. Not as good as v12 Aston Martin
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.
That Porsche driver...
I've watched this over and over again since it happened and it never gets any less exciting.
Bathurst always delivers...what fantastic racing by the top 7 drivers, absolutely brilliant :-)
Oh they’re going to retire the car hey give it to me I’ll take it
sadly it goes into a museum
@@DG-- or you can buy it for couple thousand dollars
And, a beautiful Race. Thanks a Lot from Germany.
One of the finest sports car races I have ever seen. What a place Bathurst is. 🏁
If anyone ever asks what racing is all about (or should be all about) show them this clip, so much talent and respect, just awesome to watch!
So good to have different cars and different engine specs all racing together
Awesome race thanks for posting

So, who's back here from the 2020 thriller victory for Bentley?
Thank you!
It's amazing how different cars can look but they absolutely are beautiful in their own way.

Best Bathurst 12 HR in GT era..
It was hard tough racing for whole 12 HR
0:28 someone please explain me what happened?
The Speed King Mexicans were found on Mars, that's what happened
thanks, i thought he said waving and meant some flagguy with that.
a stupid rule !

One of the racetracks where you need a lot of driver skills. Fast and challenging. Love it!
Beautiful beautiful pass by the Porsche on the Aston. Wow ^^
Also, superb defense by the yellow Mercedes :)
My God the chase on the Aston had me hooked. But damn the amg and the bmw was also insane.
Wow, real motor racing. I remember this! (F1 fan)
Now that's racing if you drive at Mount Panorama for 4 hours straight. (Each driver in a team) Commitment!

I wish i could make it to such events. As a Porsche fan since childhood, proud to say Porsche is undoubtedly the best at racing.
I end up watching the whole video,awesome race btw,I am officially a new fan of this Motorsport
When it comes down to it... This is Real racing. 🏁
love how the Porsche initiates the important overtake with 9:11 left ^^
What a wonderful slice of diversity in that race. Love to see all the brands competing at once
This was so good I watched it twice!
13:02 what a pass 10 of 10
project cars2 has that good racing in mt panorama too, legendary track!
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?
Amazing race. Congratulations to the Porsche team, I was rooting for them because Porsche is my favorite make
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!
Watched it live on the stream. What a RACE!
Mount Panorama is a incredible circuit, Mount Panorama in F1 is spectacular.
Porsche make the best chassis in the world. 911 is the Legend.
What about the skills of the AMG GT3 driver who held on with old tyres and dropped in on 3rd?
But you're right
I still pick Amgs :)
Mount Panorama i love this track ❤️
So amazing! I stress sometimes sim racing this track after just 15 or 20 minutes and it's not even real. lol These drivers are just incredible.
i clicked on this because i read Bratwurst...
german roots intensifiies
Manuel well Porsche won, so yeah lol 😆
Aston Martin is Beautiful ♥️
14:38 "Rubbing's racing Harry" ✈ 😜

well, that was fantastic - proper racing, very enjoyable. I think the Bathurst has a claim to be one of the best motor races in the world.
