The Bend Motorsport Park

Should go back there.

They should, um, LMGT three, uh, Tim, Tim bend, the bend Madtide Porsche take the win, uh, with the auto racing, uh, Aston second and, uh, your car champion and a blue.

Yeah.

Car champion or driver champion.

Well, we've got plenty of action happening out at the Bend as per normal, but November is going to be absolutely huge.

Let's go to the Managing Director of the Bend, Dr. Sam Shahin.

Welcome.

Very, very good afternoon.

Mateys, you've got a fair bit going on, haven't you? First of all, I'm looking at the Australian Superbike Championships.

How good?

Yes, November will be just another epic, epic month at the bend.

And, you know, if we weren't already, we are now.

Yeah.

Mid-December, The Bend, Australia.

Early January, Mandalika, Indonesia.

Late January, Buriram, Thailand.

Most notably...

Now, if you haven't seen the coverage, please do head over to SRI's YouTube channel to watch the Sunday showdown, GT3 Sunday showdown, which was racing at, I'm not going to do the full name, The Bend, on Sunday last.

And it was a smaller grid.

What was it, Dave? About 27, 28 cars, I think.

What was it? 256? 255s? Yep.

38 bends.

38 bends of the bend yeah exactly is it to do the full name of the circuit does it take as long as it does a lap of the track

it probably takes as long as it does to take to say the full name of the sro gt series is so yeah

under his belt compared to the other.

But I actually think just he was in the top 10 at The Bend, and I just...

He's, he can do it if the car's fast.

So I don't think it's, like, an easy gimme for someone to come in-

You're just going to take it how you come?

I've always loved the wet ever since go-karts I've always loved it and to be honest the wet race we had at the bend the first of the enduro's is probably what gave me this opportunity I started Job had a starting out at 9th which was awesome he had his first shootout and then I was able to get us to the lead in my stints and actually lead 27 laps of a supercar race, which that was another dream come true for me to actually be in front of some pretty heavy guys and was even pulling away from Chas Mostert and some of those experienced guys.

So, yeah, I do love the wet.

Obviously, it's pretty sketchy around a place like Gold Coast because of the white lines, the curbs, the concrete everywhere.

Like, this is part of what you're

doing.

Probably where it sunk in, I didn't know it at that point, but after the bend, when I was actually able to lead the race, I hopped out of the car, got Job in the car, like I was done for the day.

And knowing that I...

He finished 2.62 seconds ahead of Jamie Domeney in a cheap Boss, with a further 3, uh, .3 of a second ahead of Damien Brand aboard his Subaru STI Coupe.

The single championship event was held on the site of last year's Australian Hill Climb Championship using half of the 3.93 kilometer east circuit at the Shell V-Power Motorsport Park.

It was a joint venture of Hill Climb South Australia and Motorsport Services Solutions.

The Australian Off-Road Racing Association has issued an updated regarding winged seats and head restraints in the general and category regs.
