One of the best races every year and it's this weekend! 12 hours of GT racing around Mount Panorama. For some reason I'm having trouble getting my brain to calculate the start time here in the U.S. eastern time zone but there's a countdown clock on the official website: http://www.bathurst12hour.com.au/news/liqui-moly-bathurst-12-hour-coverage-guide/ I think it works out to near 3PM Eastern on 3 Feb...please correct me if I'm wrong...but the site says the live stream coverage, which will certainly include some pre-race, will start at 1:30PM Eastern.
For those unfamiliar, this race starts in the dark, another quirk that sets it apart. Live stream coverage (pre-race) just started: http://www.radiolemans.co/2018/02/02/bathurst-12h-2018/
The formation lap is underway!!! I don't understand because the countdown clock says there's still more than an hour to go but the race clock is already started.
Notice how the “door” opens.. this is the same on their road cars. Hint.. Creates an issue if you rolll over..
