Mens danskerne går og fryser, så er det sommer i Australien. Og her gør arrangørerne bag 12-timersløbet på Mount Panorama-banen sig klar til 2013-udgaven.
Den 9./10. februar går det løs på banen ved Bathurst, der også lægger navn til løbet. Hele 54 biler er tilmeldt, en stor del af dem er den relativt nyindførte GT3-klasse, hvor også danske Allan Simonsen igen deltager.
Maranello Motorsports-køreren har for længst sat sit præg på løbet med en fantomomgang under testen forud for løbet i 2012. Og i februar er den alsidige fynbo klar til endnu et forsøg i 12-timersløbet.
Hele 20 oversøiske teams er tilmeldt løbet, heriblandt de regerende vindere fra Phoenix Racing. 32 af bilerne er GT3 eller GT4, mens resten er standardvogne i Production-klassen.
