The #35 Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 greeted the chequered flag after a dramatic Bathurst 12-Hour this past weekend.
In what proved a popular victory for trackside fans, Nissan broke a somewhat enforced ’drought’ at the iconic Mount Panorama circuit spanning 23 years.
Not since Jim Richards called the crowd a “pack of arseholes” in 1992 have Nissan drivers stood on the top step of the Bathurst podium, and the GT-R made its move with only minutes remaining in the race.
The number 35 car was thereabouts all day in a disrupted race that saw the safety car take to the track on no fewer than 19 occasions (a new event record).
The longest window of green-flag racing was around 1h05m, which occurred early in the race.
