Hey everyone,


SAU:NSW has been offered a very special opportuniy thanks to the team at MotorActive to head up to the Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour on Sunday Feb 9. For those of you not familiar with the event, the last 3 years have seen a massive coming of age whereby it is now attracting some of the best GT3 cars and drivers from around the globe.


Of particular interest this year is the Nissan Motor Sport GTR Nismo GT3, for those that don't know that car or for those that are curious you can see it in action here

The Nissan Motor sport GTR will be competing in Oz for the first time and includes local Rick Kelly in the team. Whilst it is expected to run in the top 10 it will have serious competition from SLS Mercs, 458 Ferrari’s, Lambo’s, Audi R8’s. It will also be the first outing at Bathurst for Tony Quin’s McLaren MP412C GT3 (just confirmed).


The list of local and international drivers is also really impressive. As well as many V8 Supercar regulars internationals include:


Mika Salo, ex F1


Markus Winkelhock, ex F1 and FIA GT1 World Champion 2012


Partick Long, 3 x American LeMans Series Champion






These cars lap Bathurst quicker than V8 Supercars and access to the pit area is great so you can get up close to the action.


For more info go to the Bathurst 12 hour website or facebook page.






So now for the special deal for SAU!

MotorActive are offering VIP parking directly opposite the main straight together with 2 adult entry tickets for a total of $35.00!!! It’s also great that they are donating the whole $35 to Camp Quality so what a great way to donate to a good cause.




Once you have booked your spot post up here stating that you are going and if possible a small pic of your car that you will be attending in (does not have to be a skyline!)


Cruise details are still being worked out but we will be departing from Penrith Panthers at approx 7:45am on Sunday Feb 9th.

Check back regularly for updates on post no 2 for cruise details and other special announcments


See you there!

Dave

Other than that enjoy the show, grab a shuttle bus up the mountain and enjoy some great racing!

thanks,

Thanks Dave. Looking forward to this, it should be a spectacular event and the price is ridiculously cheap quite frankly.

Thanks to the guys from MotorActive and SAU for organising! :)

Also, I think I read somewhere on the official page that it is a "keep the change" event, so the $35 entry price, while dirt cheap, means that people are encouraged to pay extra if they are able to, and all of this will go to charity as Dave said.

Was watching last year's 12hr race on Foxtel, just paid. Will bring the GT-R.

Here's a crappy picture of my car

Possible to leave earlier for the cruise to Bathurst? Only because by the time we get there, we'll miss almost half the race :(.
