Watch This Nissan GT-R GT3 Race Car Go From Trashed To Like New Overnight
Watch This Nissan GT-R GT3 Race Car Go From Trashed To Like New Overnight-January 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:25

Racing never sleeps, as you were probably reminded of . That’s particularly true when you’ve got a wrecked nub of a race car in the garage and a qualifying session for the main race in about 16 hours.

This trashed Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 race car wound up in the garage at about 6:30 p.m. local time on Friday, after a full day of Bathurst 12 Hour practice that at Australia’s .

Rather than, you know, getting healthy amounts of sleep, the crew worked on the car from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 a.m. the next day in order to get it back out there in time for a morning qualifying session for the main race. The time lapse above lets you watch the whole thing in just over a minute, though that short runtime likely downplays the amount of work that actually went into this fix.

The race on Saturday and has a YouTube , if you’d like to have something to occupy your afternoon.

I'm At The 24 Hours Of Le Mans, An Overwhelming Celebration Of Insanity
Almost 8.5 miles of circuit. Purpose-built racing prototypes, some of which for qualifying. Fans everywhere: camping, gawking, eating, drinking. Noise. Rain. Dark. Doesn’t matter.
