It was an amazing race as expected with the 2012 Bathurst 1000. I wont go into specific details, as most of you either watched the race or are waiting to watch it. I would like to share with you some of the amazing moments that made the race exciting.

The Nissan GTR pictured above is the 2012 V8 Supercars official pace car. What a bad ass choice of vehicles, especially knowing the potential they have for performing well on any race course. That GTR is definitely a Club Dirty Approved contender.

Secondly, Craig Lowndes in his commemorative paint scheme looked great, paying tribute to the late Peter Brock (9-Time Bathurst winner and iconic Australian automotive legend). There were multiple other commemorative paint schemes that looked great as well, I just have a soft spot for Lowndes car.

Finally, an extremely close call that put everyone on the edge of their seats. Blow is a video of Will Davison going 290 km/h (Roughly 180 mph) backwards after a catastrophic brake failure at the fastest section of the track. I most surely would have crapped myself in that situation, so kudos to Will Davison for keeping it clean.
