The 2014 Bathurst 12 Hours took place in Australia this weekend at the Mount Panorama Circuit. Ferrari took the win with a thrilling finish in what was a side-by-side race to the finish line against a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 belonging to HTP Motorsports. The team of Craig Lowndes, Peter Edwards, John Bowe and Mika Salo in the Ferrari 458 GT3 won the race by 0.4 seconds ahead of the SLS AMG GT3 driven by Maximilian Buhk.
Lowndes has 5 Bathurst 1000 trophies already on top of the 2014 Bathurst 12-Hour trophy he won today. The HTP Motorsports crew who came in second showed an impressive performance especially from the young driver Buhk. Third in this Class A was also another Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT of Erebus Motorsports. They fought back several laps to the top after suffering damage due to a contact. The damage resulted in the car being faster on the straights and slower at the tops which was considered an advantage.
