Factory drivers clash as Jules Gounon, Kenny Habul and Luca Stolz take a dramatic Bathurst 12 Hour win. B12Hr
The final quarter of the race started with the Marciello holding a comfortable 25s lead over Jaminet in the #912 Manthey EMA Porsche.
The issue was carbon build-up on the rear of the car, the crew told by officials that it had to clear the mess so the taillights were visible, which had to be done in the garage. That left the #75 with a 35s margin over the #999, with another 30s back to Campbell in third and 15s more to van der Linde in fourth.
At the same time GruppeM was dealing with some off-track drama, thanks to a failing event data logger that race officials told the team had to be replaced. Gounon then responded by taking his last stop a lap later, SunEnergy1 Racing opting against new rubber to ensure the Frenchman resumed ahead of Engel.
The following lap it reached an inevitable outcome when Engel tried to surprise Gounon at the same corner, but instead tipped the leading Mercedes into a spin.
