2018 - Crash ends race at 12hr Bathurst


Bryce Fullwood, Ash Walsh (#69 Audi) and John Martin (#19 Mercedes) were involved in a major accident that ended the Bathurst 12 Hour.  This entire race was fierce competition running at 200 kmh and you get hit standing still!  Hard to believe the drivers walked away!  Don't know why the track marshals didn't have a yellow flag waving, there was time.

This is the final hour of the race featuring all highlights and I'll tell ya many more wreaks!  Link out to NISMO TV is part 2 of the race.  Starting @41:30 time stamp and running 3sec ahead you can hear the squeal of the tires and dust rise out from the turn before the broadcasters know of this massive wreak as they are following the first place, Audi.  Hard day on the wallet at Bathurst!

NISMO, don't allow embeds of their videos. (wankers)

But here is the wreck anyway, oh that's a bad noise!  What caused it was two drivers got loose (one was Walsh) simultaneously into the turn on top of the mountain.

Thanks GT World, this race is just fierce competition!
