Bwoah ! 12h Bathurst must be as exhausting as Nordschleife endurance- due to the narrow track layout (specially middle-sector)...
Because I own it I made my previous comment ! ! Luv it - one of my favorites Too bad Australia is half a planet and 12hs away from here, would like to race Bathurst with you guys..
That's just fantstic! Great news for many DTM and World RX fans http://www.dtm.com/en/News/DTM-to-kick-the-new-season-off-with-a-top-class-event.html
Bet Eckstroem was one of the initiators who came up with this idea, cause he owns an RX Team (and drives as well). Some love him others hate him, but from my POV "Ecky" is one of the most complete drivers I know...(and I like him cause he`s very straightforward at times - unlike other pilots who just repeat was they`ve been told for reasons of "Political Correctness"...or Soccer Stars/Commentators - "well the ball is round and the game lasts 90 mins and bout these simple facts I baffle now for at least 1h" )
