Racing in the rain and fog!

 It was the Bathurst 12 hour GT race on Sunday. It was a major disappointment. The last 12 hour race was in February 2020 and it was an absolute cracker although the temperature was over 40ÂșC which made spectating very uncomfortable.

That year there was big field-over 40 cars -with many top European and Asian teams. This year they moved the race to May.The Europeans and Asians were racing at home so the entry was only 20 cars and the weather was abysmal and so was the racing. 

I went with friend Warren. We should have stayed at home. We only watched a few hours and then pulled up stumps. To rub salt into the wound the journey in both directions was painfully slow. 

I've definitely had better weekends.

 And yes I also cannot believe that any company would have a promo girl dressed like that in 2022.

Some photos from a dismal weekend.

  2. Thank you. I just wish now that I had taken more but photographing in the rain with a camera and lens which are not weatherproof is not fun.
