How You Can Stream Australia's Gift to the World, the Bathurst 12 Hour, in America-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:11

Does the thought of more racing after the Rolex 24 have you salivating? Great news, folks—Australia’s Mount Panorama Circuit is hosting the incredible Bathurst 12 Hour this weekend. And yes, you’re going to be able to watch every second of it here in America.

If you’re not sure why you should be tuning into the 12 Hour, then you need to read , and I really couldn’t put it any better myself. Here’s the basics of what you need to know:

Mount Panorama, a 3.9-mile circuit, is partially an actual track and partially actual roads that are converted into a race circuit for a handful of races a year.The Bathurst 12 Hour is contested by GT3, GT4, and “”. It’s sports car racing, folks.There are four different classes to keep in mind while you’re watching. is a GT3 class divided into three subcategories (Pro, Pro/AM, AM) depending on the professional ranking of the drivers. It includes the kind of cars that also contest the Spa and Nürburgring 24 Hour races. This is the biggest, beefiest class at Bathurst. is composed of Porsche’s GT3 Cup Cars. is made of GT4 cars, which has been a growing class in Australia in recent years. They’re a step under GT3. And, finally, is the invitational class, which are cars determined by the race organizers.This race is wild. Wild! and take to the track. The lack of runoff . And the 12 Hour produces some of the most exciting racing in the world. We’re talking racing down pit lane. I mean, check out how competitive everyone still is at the end of the race:

You need to check it out. Racing at Bathurst is delicious, and you’re not going to want to miss it.

The 12 Hour starts at 5:45 a.m. local time Sunday in Bathurst. For those of us in America, the race starts at 1:45 p.m. U.S. Eastern Standard Time on Saturday—a pretty reasonable time!

That means that the race starts in the dark, races through sunrise, and ends as the sun starts to lower. It’s incredible. Australia knows how to do it. This race is worth it just to watch the first two hours, as drivers forge through the dawn.

If you’re one of the folks in America who, like me, makes a yearly pledge to watch more Australian racing only to be foiled by paywalls and unfortunate midnight hours, then this is your chance to get your fix from down under. That’s right. You can check out this racing for free.

The official stream (and live timing and scoring) will be available on the . If you’re an auditory person, you can listen to the full race radio broadcast on . If those two don’t work for you, on YouTube will stream the race. And if all else fails, Reddit will have the answers you need.
