Nissan wins Bathurst 12hr!Nissan wins Bathurst 12hr!Godzilla is king of the mountain once again!

 

Godzilla is king of the mountain once again! And what might be even more impressive is that just a few years ago, 2 of the 3 drivers were just playing Gran Turismo on their playstation before winning the GT Academy. It just goes to show how good driving simulations/games are getting, not to mention the reliability and dominance of a Nismo GT3 car.

It was a fantastic event, with attendance up, full coverage by channel 7 and an amazing line up of cars. This event keeps getting bigger and better. I Look forward to seeing the mighty GTR defend its title again next year. I hope that perhaps one day, Mt. Panorama might be included as part of a 24hr series, but for now, the Bathurst 12hr is a fantastic event and is well worth a trip to see.

Rotorglow - Bathurst 12hr 2015Rotorglow - Bathurst 12hr 2015The new lap record holder Laurens Vanthoor in the Phoenix Racing's Audi R8 around Mt. Panorama at sunrise getting the brakes glowing red hot coming into the chase.

Laurens Vanthoor is now the new lap record holder at Mt. Panorama in Bathurst with a blistering time set in qualifying of 2:02.55s. Markus Winkelhock started the race in the Phoenix Racing's Audi R8 at sunrise getting the brakes glowing red hot coming into the chase.

It was an amazing atmosphere at the start of the race this year as it's getting more and more popular. Watching the starting laps from the chase is awesome as the sun rises and the rotor glow slowly fades. All day the positions have been shifting between the Audi R8, Ferrari 458, Mercedes SLS and mighty Nissan GTR Godzilla.

Surreal Sunrise - Port Macquarie, NSW, AustraliaSurreal Sunrise - Port Macquarie, NSW, AustraliaAn overcast sunrise over the rocks at Port Macquarie taken with a long exposure to give a nice misty water.

I love the surreal feel to this image. I created it by using ND filters to force a long exposure in the early morning of this overcast day. It's quite a nice view to wake up to in Port Mac after a long tired drive. Quite a funny story behind this shot, feel free to ask me about it sometime.

Timon the Meerkat
Western Plains Zoo, Dubbo, NSW, Australia
 
How cute is this little guy. He reminds me of Timon from the Lion King. Its a Meerkat on the lookout at Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo. They are so cool to watch. Very well organised. One Meerkat would be on the highest rock, looking out for predators, turning their head left to right like they are watching tennis. Then another one would get up on a rock nearby and start looking out. After a little while the first would realise his shift is over and leave the other one in charge of lookout. So cute.
