Bathurst 12 Hours 2015. Last Laps Battle

we've got the best drivers in the world right here right now racing for 2015 first being Australian prize and Matt Bell defense into hell corner for the first time but he goes a little wide and Votto tries to do the over-and-under he's got a tiny bit of overlap he's gonna try and come before logout around the outside let me to do that in the Griffons paddy deserves to win this race he's pulled alongside he's lost ahead but Bell on the inside surely could hold off the big badly that's got a breaks over there he's offline though can't even done with this is magnificent stuff and watch the second of the guards behind that's not in the fight for the lead but he could get involved in it if they're not careful that was cool driving by ball carbon copy of 2015 squeeze the car on the outside wide to the curb and you will have the right of way on the inside line it is the place to be there but you've got to go brave and deep up into Griffin's Bend great defensive driving by matt bell but Lauren's van tour has been the fastest driver all weekend continues to apply the pressure we go back seven cars to find the listen to five cars he's already got so defined the Nissan GTR but look how good the RTR 80s across the top that's been its key strength all weekend long so I'm looking at Falcon tyres elbow for a move from Lauren's van topic is that across the top through the slow stuff in the Aero stuff is where this cars been its strongest watch it down here key overtaking opportunity down the outside but bail defense have a good run down the street and there's nothing between these two in a straight line remember what the teammates the Lauren Ventura in that and he was saying they've lost a bit of top-end since it got warmer here the bet he seems to get a bit and don't forget your son in the 35 he's come he is catching I saw the headlights there in the background looks TOEIC now just four positions between these two and the third place car and my belly's doing a lot of defending here he's trying to get the temperature on the Michelin tires and get this Bentley back in its operating window he's already two drivers left coming down into the final corner at McGuire's and all of this is backing the filter and he goes chill down the inside he's going to be on the back of these guys in another lap if at the way that's going at the ball at least that when he got three cars between him at this battle for the lead into he'll corner and a bunch three another time now will Matabele be able to hold onto it again he takes the slightly defensive line this time factor stays behind and in the gap in the air if Matt Bell keeps driving like this chair is going to be arrested or for the rice he will be there and the Nissen will buy into it and we'll have a three-way fight for the race victory this time fed thought sticks behind the leader one car into that Audi barrier make PEM racing Audi is in this well it's a lapped car it may be a deciding lapped car it would need to let gio by very very quickly and the miss of GTR has cruised on the leading battle slow out of the cutting in a nudge from the audi he gave the bentley right there slow drive on to the top of the mountain but it's helped the Bentley if anything there's a car length between the two of them slightly old swing by when you're doing the velodrome racing is they get you made a little bit further up the road and for once there's a bit of clear grey tarmac between the leader and second place man here comes cheer up on that lap early look a couple of cars back as they go of the semi new skyline area down into the SS this is as much breathing space as bad as hard since the restart Stephan book and not hit the fight at the moment he's ER and all that well he's actually going he's catching up down to chill and he's only another second further back you know we could have four guys battling for this in half elapsed time who's gonna be quickest down the mountain because all days but listen he's right there with left car between he can pull past that use that so is going to be right with these two East thrown into the final ten minutes of this race it's fingernail biting time but not laws they're two highly manicured as in second and third now to go together the Audi did the right thing just pulled to the strike lifted off and let the nice and go he is in this fight how hard is Matt Bell driving car ten you will not see a car more ripped limited haircut that was across the top of Mount Panorama here comes Aston Martin to he's just got two cars between him and the listen now it could be four cars it's gonna be it's gonna be a quartet battling for this 2015 top step now is the time to take stock to breathe it what have you got left in the fast corner it's but the bottom drawer ticking it out and throw it at Mount Panorama there's no sense in leaving it behind but there is two cars back triple battle for the lead heading on Shu Street it goes it goes chill in the Sun he's gonna have to go the long way around he's almost got the left wheels on the grasses they got the Griffins I think he's got alongside him sure he can't get through four babbling cut back on to the right hand side man that this adds quick what - dad Conrad stripe because we know the Audi isn't the fastest car in a straight line law and remember the patients that shield showed earlier on going through traffic when he was in third and fourth position that's gone out the window now he wants to be at the front because he knows a fast Aston Martin and a fast Aston Martin works driver in Stefan Bucher is coming up the hill traffic our safety car is out sanity car is out that creates ah we've been robbed we've been robbed here of a finish good this me it's The Grocer leader the leader in Class B second place in Class B the century batteries gt3 car has been chasing down the 40 70 or the other Porsche and it looks as though he's beached it and he's done it on his own as well try to take too much pee the tires not up to temps and that car without a snatch tractor down there that car is stuck there is no better place to be that in front of the channel 7 fate to watch the final floor of the 2015 liqui moly Bathurst 12 is this not the best place in the world Mount Panorama time and time and time again delivers amazing motor racing four and a bit minutes to go 7 brand in the top 75 fighting for victory after 12 of the most brutal hours you will ever see at this place and 3 live a stirred as they come to what we hope will be the final green flag let's keep this green let's see this one guy Smith that will never seen anything like this it's an honor and a privilege to be trackside down and calling this one for you as Matt Bell has to do it all again the green flag waving but it's Matt Bell who's controlling the pace of the fields now take a deep breath suck it up fellas because you've got five minutes four minutes and eight seconds to do don't brilliant piece of timing if that stands it's brilliant if he's up in the second place I don't think there was a normal half of the line and he's going to go for the lead through he'll corner he's already in the slipstream of the big Bentley the two biggest widest biggest hairiest cars by going head-to-head of the backstreets the stunning stuff from Chios Sun the fiery young Japanese drivers car is too late fires remarkable he's done two of them in a knot it's Griffin corner yet 336 of the clock and Nissan leads on the mountain the GTR Godzilla has eaten the filter now and they are back with a vengeance solutely astonishing stuff that was powerfully time from zero the absolutely blasted by the elders he went down the third one I did the same again his turn three to the Bentley Amazings can he keep it together military settings on the Lina Sandow it's pedal to the metal and he's pulled out five six ten cars lengths as he goes across we can hear Lee spectators clapping as he goes across this is usually a convergence victory van turn for second place on the big bed Lee who is hung out for so long Matt Bell will be desperate to hold on to this one I'm not sure he's going to be able to do it damn got rocks tricks double drive underneath the Bentley if he has to he's got the fastest car here absolutely on the limit down into the Oh bond squeezes him why an old drag race down cotton road straight not quite male hold on and the big Bentley is doing the business the fight for the podium these are going to be into the lap maybe another two here guys look at the time to 24 it's going to be close to whether they do one more after this and it will all be down to wengie or crosses the lock in the blue flags being weird listens are gone the Bentley locking up there or was it sucks fluid coming out the back I'm sory shimming on the back wheels I think that was a touch a touch earlier does its habla con run straight from the are doing on the back of the Bentley I think we've got some touching bodywork they're coming around with two or three two or two this is going to be it it's 48 on the clock plus one lap and the white flag is out or it would be if we were in the US one more to go down to the first corner and watch out for the battle further down as well which is smoker John he's attaching the Audi for third position he's holding it in the last lap and van thought just doesn't quite have the ultimate pace he had last time a minute 37 on the clock will confirm 100% if this is the last lap but Gio is driving up the road the Nissan GTR it won here in 91 it won here in 92 as not touch the barians it's there somewhere in the world Daren Cox the boss of - bored finessin we having kittens in 648 in the morning in the UK DC's just closed on his new house he's celebrating that he's celebrating in lmp1 program and in about a elapsed time he will be celebrating a victory here the GT Academy graduates with she'll have pulled off a remarkable master stroke Rob Bob Neville and Archie end with the nish more global athlete team have put it - the best in the world they've taken on the mountain they've beat them all and at the moment it's chilled by a cover seconds and then the battle for second third and fourth there's two more steps on the podium and it's musical chassis and when the music stops or some one of these three is going to be left without the sit screw Brad the outside come around the corner and almost come and here comes mocha mocha is right in the slipstream as well as astonishing with a final spot of ammonium Stefan mocha driving faster riding around the Audi alright down Conrad straight he's in the time the Bentley it's helped him get by in the Ashton's third final that leader is on the last lap faster concentration we're back into the Mishnah jersey tries to go around the inside she knows ahead of all this and it's gonna win from this more but who's gonna be second third fourth is still what big braking area to come once again badly delivers and great finish and it's at this more GTR that wins if at this ad g or wins it second third and fourth across the line dr. falls writer the last soon but if the early kaliesha's the race second place and then the OB and the Aston Martin comes on third let's have a look again and there you could quite clearly see that was a clear restart there was no overlap on the line there for the Nissan they'll be looking at that carefully and she'll already through into second and then tried to go through into the lead I did it McGuire's replay shows it well we've talked up the straight-line speed all day long I really need to see what happened in that final corner for second and third though from moment there it looked like the Audi might have fallen off the road as well

What happened with the bentley in the last corner?
How I imagine he must have felt after crossing the finish line

[u/ElRed_]

Really want to see a replay of Bell in that Bentley taking the final corner, crazy how he fell from 2nd to 4th.

Amazing from Nissan.

[u/showmethetittiesxxx]

Amazing intensity (commentators really added to it) but what the fuck happened at the last corner! I don't want to see the Nissan cruise across the line unchallenged. Show me the fucking action!

[u/oh84s]

That fucking Nissan just straight past two cars

[u/Scratchpaw]

Nice to see Laurens Vanthoor doing so well in the Audi R8. Old classmate of mine.

edit: Also, isn't the guy who won the one that got scouted from the Gran Turismo Playstation competition?

[u/[deleted]]

Wow, that GTR is a beast.
What great racing, shame about no cameras in the final turn.

[u/[deleted]]

Nissan making huge waves in motorsports lately. Good for them. Absolute fan of Nissan Nismo.

[u/voxshades]

Great post OP...Great bit of racing that was. Found myself pulling for the big Bentley. The Bentley looks like it shouldn't be a racer & to see it dicing about on the tarmac fascinates me for some odd reason.

[u/metamorphomisk]

It's hard to believe that the two GT academy graduates won it
