I love the bathurst 12 hour but it really felt like it was missing something this year with such a small field and lack of variety of cars. Hope next year its back to how it should be.
Agree on that, it was a bit lacklustre this year. But thats due to internationals not being sure if they could even get into the country when the race entires were closed. Hopefully with international travel opening up more next year will have a more inclusive race. At least I hope it does.
WEC Need to take a page out of the Bathurst 12 Hour book, WEC somehow suggest a 2 minute highlight reel is enough for a 6 hour race while the Bathurst 12 Hour got a 30 Minute highlight reel, way more that what I would've asked for
So glad this race is back!!! Great race! The changing conditions made it feel very Spa/Nurburgring like. The drivers are absolutely fearless tackling a foggy Mount Panorama.
As a volunteer flag marshal for this event, I feel I can say is years race is probably the most unique Twelve Hour race we've ever had. I mean, fog, rain, longer night racing, fewer cars, very experienced drivers and good hard racing!
Such a great race. I love watching the highlights. However, for those producing the video, do we have to have the little ad with the swiping in and out noise between each segment? It gets a bit annoying. But thank you for putting us all together
You know what? Not only I think that the Bathurst 12 hours look like would be better suited this time of year. Not only that. I would love to see this to be extnded to other circuits in Australia. Like having this race at bathurst, but also having The Bends 24 hours .
I’m pretty sure that is on the plans for The Bend. I don’t think they would’ve spent all that money on the second longest track in the world to not have endurance racing.
Good race, nice drive by Engel to get to 2nd from the back and with more pit stops. Weather kept it interesting and really showed the skills of the drivers. I enjoyed watching it live, and these highlights.
@@VNV2018 you needed to do 9 2 minute compulsory stops but Craft did them all before the 4th hour, so their later stops were as fast as they could do them
I hope to see more GT2 - they havent had much representation in endurance races yet. The KTM GT2 showed itself to be much more viable for Mt Panorama than a GT4 (same team has run a GT4 previously). 2:08 best lap in a GT2 vs 2:15 for the GT4 and it was mixing it with the GT3 cars early in the morning.
I watched this race for the final 7 hours, and it was well worth it! Such a shame that the #74 got that 2 minute penalty, otherwise they probably would have been contending for the win.
The flash advertising appearing every few seconds was annoying as F*^K! Gave up watching this video after only a few minutes. Rediculous. The race itself was awesome. I watched the highlights elsewhere.
I don't think it was as good as the last few with alot of the world's team missing ..bloody covid..but at least 888 didn't win so that made me happy..let's just hope we can get all the teams back soon for the next 12hr well next for me the crown the le mans 24 hrs bring it on
The dark is unavoidable for this race as there isn't 12 hours of daylight in Bathurst in May. It's winter, the days are short. Now the 12 Hour has moved back to its regular schedule in Feb when the days are longer it's no problem. This year it started at 5:45AM which was before sunrise but there was still a glow on the horizon and the cars only needed headlights for about 45 mins.
Agree with others that there needed to be more cars. GT4 for me. But I also found the 2 minute pit stop thing silly. It was just some weird thing to force convected drama. And I found the driver minimum and maxim thing has gone too far. And why bother with the pro-am thing at all? Make it about the cars. If people want to run an amateur team or a mix, that shouldn't be lined to the car category. Professionals should be able to drive gt4 and amateurs gt2. Just let people race.
I watched all 12 hours and at points they needed their Mercedes segments and stuff since there was no action happening. Also just in general, it’s not that deep bro

Agreed. Here's hoping next year will be better
Should've let the GT4 cars enter
It needs better cars

@@alozzola also doesn’t help that IMSA and GT World Challenge Europe were racing over the weekend

This is by far the best motor racing Australia has to offer….nothing else comes close.
I prefer motogp at Phillip Island and the F1 track is really good now that they improved the track.

I agree really annoying, absolute crap, sorry can’t watch anymore.
+1 here. They're not fartin' sparks trapmire.
Agreed. Visual is okay but swooshing sound is very annoying.
What a great race great to see the Bathurst 12hr back hopefully we have more cars next year🔥🔥

Having it during this time of the year kills car count so no thanks
@@alozzola they had ALMS pre-covid. Then covid happened
The Bend 24 hours would be the most boring race ever 😴

Craft Bamboo's pit strategy was an odd one but worked to their advantage after the compulsory stops were finished
what were those compulsory pitstops?
@@VNV2018 you needed to do 9 2 minute compulsory stops but Craft did them all before the 4th hour, so their later stops were as fast as they could do them
@@RunningOn7CylindersYT That's an impressive gamble!

How do you know how many cars to enter in 2023???
the Mercedes adds and interviews every 20 mins killed it
So many negative comments here, I enjoyed the race! Hoping next year we have more cars, GT3 and GT4.
But also need GT2/GTX cars are rebranded of the class
I hope to see more GT2 - they havent had much representation in endurance races yet.
The KTM GT2 showed itself to be much more viable for Mt Panorama than a GT4 (same team has run a GT4 previously). 2:08 best lap in a GT2 vs 2:15 for the GT4 and it was mixing it with the GT3 cars early in the morning.
These guys are faster in reality, night and fog than me in ACC and good conditions.
All hail our lord and saviour gt3
I'm finding it harder and harder to watch the 1000 race with enthusiasm.. the 12 hour seems more appealing these days
Needs more cars and more classes!!
Nice to have more cars but less classes because the speed differential for slower cars is too dangerous on top of the mountain.
I watched this race for the final 7 hours, and it was well worth it! Such a shame that the #74 got that 2 minute penalty, otherwise they probably would have been contending for the win.
The flash advertising appearing every few seconds was annoying as F*^K! Gave up watching this video after only a few minutes. Rediculous.
The race itself was awesome. I watched the highlights elsewhere.
With the early entry list for the race it had Whincup in the 888 and Van Gisbergen teaming with Lowndes in a McLaren
Race night
That logo coming in and out every 2 min is terrible.
Great race brilliant best ever thank you very much
When you gonna put up the whole race? WEC Bahrain 8Hr race didn't take this long to be uploaded
Lose the Liquid Moly transitions already for Gods sake 🤬
Someone tell me what is liqui molly, I know it isn't but all I can think is liquid mdma did you think about then when choosing the name lol
Transitions were overly obnoxious here. Thanks for uploading however.

It should start before or at sunrise to avoid the dark.

race ruined by annoying ad interruptions. Very frustrating 😕

Just let people race.
Is it me or did some of these pro drivers do some dumb things in this race…eg multiple drivers overtaking on different safety cars
Why was the field so small?
International entries didn't know if they'd be able to make it or not with spicy cough
What would you assume Evan?
Wheel don🏁
MOSTERT IN THE 65
BASED NUMBER
888 didn't win ?
Can they change the rules in this competition also ?
We need P888RITY
Thankfully they can't rig this category the way they did Supercars!
What happened to all the cars
Someone else said european races were on that weekend
20:38 no show us the crash
What it was missing is the Four X Dancers !...lol/not.
Video editing is awful. Showing liqui molly Bathurst 12 hour logo every 10 20 seconds is super annoying
Those advertising transistions are terrible and annoying, had to stop watching this.
safety car
F1 GTS GTP🏆🚘
" bad commentry " what the fuck happened to mostert " ?
Editing on this is awful. That transition makes this almost unwatchable.
Just 20 cars what a joke
Will never buy liqui moly after this bullshit coverage!
Yeah the Mercedes adds and interviews every 20 mins killed it
I watched all 12 hours and at points they needed their Mercedes segments and stuff since there was no action happening. Also just in general, it’s not that deep bro
Unwatchable!
awfull race this year.. most the time undriveable conditions...
worst editing I've ever seen of a highlight reel.
Unwatchable. Hopeless commentary
Who watched, who cares, supercar with lessles give a fuck. Ps 9 news dramatic sound effects dontdont HhelpHhelp
Very boring 😴
Boring...
