The WPS Bathurst 12 hour is a long-distance endurance event of 12 hours and approximately 1580 kilometres, around the famous Mt Panorama circuit. The really interesting part of this race is that the cars are virtually showroom stock with only limited changes allowed, mainly to ensure they are as safe as possible for the drivers.
This years event saw numerous lead changes, enough incidents to see the safety car brought out on seven occasions and one spectacular accident featuring the number 23 Mazda3 MPS being driven by Len Cave.
Real Estate agency Brock Harcourt, in association with brewer and long-time sponsor Coopers, entered the Brock Mitsubishi EVO 8 in this year's event.
