We all know the #35 Nissan GT-R won the 2015 Bathurst 12 hour and we know that the #15 Audi came second and the #97 Aston Martin was third.
However, the manner in which the minor placings were decided has remained a mystery. Going into Conrod Straight for the last time the #10 Bentley was in P2 from the Audi, with the Aston close behind.
The Aston Martin got ahead of the Audi before the Chase to claim the final podium step. Thanks to the arsery from Channel 7 we never got to see the final corner stoush that sorted out this three-way battle and saw the Audi go from fourth to second. Thanks to “Rusty Blackmore” and his trackside YouTube clip we can now see what happened next.
Entering Murray’s Corner the Bentley had the inside line, with the Audi trying to find its way past on the outside. The Aston was tucked in behind the Bentley looking for an early apex to make a move on the final left hand corner of the race and then…

Great to see the whole race on tv no where near the cameras they have at the 1000 hopefully more next year.

Feel for the Bentley Crew. They worked so hard to keep that car up front, its a shame a podium wasn’t achieved. I think Guy Smith will be out for revenge next year!
Well done to the 2 rookies in the Nissan, they looked like professionals even with a seasoned driver like the Chiyo-san at the wheel.
Channel 7 has done such a great job with this, and with 10 showing the “Supercars” later in the day, sadly it highlights what crap we can expect from 10 for “Free” with the highlights packages. Looks like I’ll have to part with my 50 bucks a month! At least F1 will be there too now.
Thanks for that, Liam and Rusty.
looks like the bentley got a tap on the arse and then completely done over
Glad this is up. Because the coverage was pathetic on 7mate not to show WTF happened on the final corner with the cars that were scrapping for 2nd place. One sec we see Bentley in 2nd, next it comes 4th.
C’mon Thomas, you know that repeated episode of Pimp my ride was far more important that actually finding how the previous 12 hours of programming came to its dramatic conclusion.
