This Year for some unforeseen circumstances I had to pull out of being a Flag Marshal at this event but still I was able to attend to get some photos and support my Marshal friends.
Held over three days with support categories having Practice and Qualifying and 12 hour cars having Practice on Friday.
Support categories were Formula Ford, Improved Production and Radical Sportcars all with great racing and Large Fields. Saturday we had two races for each support Group with Practice and Qualifying for 12 hour cars. Sunday the 12 hour race started at 5.50am and finished at 5.50pm and with Channel 7 having Live Broadcast and Live Stream from Bathurst 12 hour site I am sure many of you had an opportunity to watch it. But nothing like being there track-side with 37000 other people to really appreciate those mean machines the sounds of the Bentley and Merc's and not forgetting the old Daytona Coupe which sounds great going around the track. The atmosphere is electric and seeing the cars close up is a must do.
Hope you enjoy the few photos I put up if you would like to see more follow my facebook page "A Flag Marshalls Journey" where I also have some short video clips.
