I need Steve Matchet to tell me about pit stop deltas. I'm lost.
Here we go! Godzilla is in. Not even close. SVG to the lead. |

Has McLaren won any major GT3 endurance race ever? Always fast but fragile, maybe it's time to shake that reputation.

If I were still 10, that McLaren would be the poster on my wall. Bring it home!

Chiyo-san doing his all to close the gap. Down to 9.5 secs gap.

That nail-biting final lap on this race! While Chiyo-san closed the gap, the Giz pulled the McLaren away for their first victory at Mt. Panorama!
Congrats to Gisbergen and Tekno Autosports for this year! As for Nismo, I hope they fared better for next year! |

Great stuff. The cars and the course were the big appeal but the teams and drivers made this a fabulous event. One of my favorite events on the year!
Now. Sleep. |

That's cutting it a bit fine Shane, but it was as comfortable a win as could be expected. Congratulations to SVG, Parente, Webb and the Tekno team.
It also marks the first major victory for McLaren's GT3 factory with a certain Bas Leinders at the helm. |

Pretty good race, deserving winners
How long since a McLaren car has won around Bathurst? |

Fantastic race. Great weekend all round. Despite a lot of people saying fewer cars would make for a better race the small field was glaringly obvious and we need more cars next year.
Only 48 days to the 6 Hour, can't wait. |

This is endurance GT/Sportscar racing not V8 Supercars. We need a bigger field next year. |
