This short video simply cannot make someone who has never driven in an endurance event just how hard it is but it is an interesting glimpse of what a driver has to do in the course of a 24-hour race.

The car ended on the podium, in third place. Enjoy the video

VIDEO: Nail biting finish of the Bathurst 1000km


This is what racing is about, a rookie battling an experienced driver for the chequered flag, after 1,000km, there was nothing between them. Endurance racing does not get any closer than this. Enjoy


In the end,  Toll Holden Racing Team's Garth Tander and Nick Percat won the 2011 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 in a thrilling last lap duel with TeamVodafone's Craig Lowndes.

Tander held off a hard-charging Lowndes to take the win by just 0.29 seconds, with pole sitter Greg Murphy in third.
