An awesome experience for Adam Christodoulou at the 12 Hours of Bathurst

Adam Christodoulou headed off down under to Australia for the first time to take part in the 12 Hours of Bathurst with the PROsport Performance.

The Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour race was recreated in 2007 and its splendour has grown ever since. Many a top GT-driver has put the Australian race on their bucket list and those who have tackled the mountain in the past are always happy to return to the 6.2 km rollercoaster.

Adam Christodoulou scored his third successive podium in the 24 Hours of Dubai, despite a huge fire gutting his #16 Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 before the race. Christodoulou, with Oliver Morley, Oliver Webb, Frankie Montecalvo and Abdulaziz Al Faisal, finished second for Black Falcon.

Preparations for the race were dramatically interrupted in pre-race practice. Patrick Assenheimer, originally meant to share the #16 Mercedes, was unfortunate to suffer a fire in the car. Despite the car being badly damaged, Assenheimer thankfully suffered only minor injuries, but was ruled out of competing in the race. The Black Falcon team performed a miracle to rebuild the car, but they would have to start from 98^th – yes, 98^th – position on the grid.
