Sandgroper should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Could have stayed for today, but was happy to drive 3 hours to get home, 6 hours of that racing would have truly proved to be an enduro.
Im sure at the track it would have been amazing, but on TV didnt give it justice

Only the #1 car has to make 5 stops.
Oops. I got that backwards.

Classic TV moment with the pit reporter and interviewing the wrong Jake.

Similar result to some of the old school Bathurst endurance races with the leader winning by 1.5 laps and the gap from 2nd to 3rd similar.

I went out to have a look on Sunday morning - each of the support races were non-events due to safety cars, particularly the production sports car race. Had to get back to Sydney on Sunday afternoon so didn't see anything of the 6 hour so can't comment on it.

Yeah Prod Sports race in particular was ridden with safety cars - the MARC upside down near pit entry after collecting the Lotus was one of the more stranger thing you will see.

Full replay of the 6 hours available through their website for those who were denied access to the event via the pay wall
