THE Audi R8 GT3 race car has been the constant of the Bathurst 12 Hour ever since the race adopted GT3 regulations back in 2011.
Every year from 2011 to 2020 has seen at least two Audi GT3s entered in the Aussie GT classic and V8 Sleuth takes this up close look at a car that has had varied luck at Mount Panorama – but it does hold the outright lap record at a staggering 1m59.2910s.
This Melbourne Performance Centre-run Audi is one of literally hundreds of cars featured in our new Bathurst: Going Global 12 Hour history book that documents the history of the race over the last decade and includes a photo of every car from every year’s race.
