Sebring made it messy, and the Mustangs still got the job done.
The #64 spent the day climbing with its elbows out.
The #65 got spun early, went to the back, and still fought its way into a respectable recovery.
Not a fairytale. Just a proper scrap.

#Grello doesn’t need an introduction. It needs 12 hours of proof.
After a tough Daytona, the same old standard showed up at Sebring: calm, clinical, and completely unbothered by the bumps.
Thomas Preining, Klaus Bachler, and Ricardo Feller put young talent where it belongs at this place: at the front, doing the hard parts properly. No drama. No freebies. Just execution until the clock ran out.
Grello season is official. #911 Manthey. Sebring. Win.

Sebring is a stress test you just can’t fake. And at sunset it almost looks forgiving, for about five minutes.
Then it cracks setups, cooks brakes, and punishes every lazy lap in traffic. BMW showed up anyway, took the hits, and kept working until the clock ran out. That’s the point here: survive, stay clean, execute.
Sebring doesn’t give you anything. BMW earned the mileage.

Sebring pole. Sebring podium.
The #27 Heart of Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo started from P1 and still fought it out to P2 at the flag, with Tom Gamble, Dudu Barrichello, and Zacharie Robichon doing the hard yards all the way through the bumps and the traffic.
Sebring doesn’t do gifts. Only receipts.😅

Sebring doesn’t do gentle introductions.
The Lamborghini Temerario GT3 lands for its competitive debut at the 12 Hours, with Pfaff Motorsports and a full factory trio at the wheel: Andrea Caldarelli, Sandy Mitchell, and Franck Perera. Twin‑turbo V8. Built in‑house by Squadra Corse.
A new GT3 flagship, straight into one of the toughest tests on the calendar. #LongLiveThePlaid

Heat shimmer. Concrete walls. Zero margin. Sebring is not a track you “get through”. It’s a place you survive, lap after lap, while the car and crew take the hits and keep swinging.
Porsche arrives with history on its skin and intent in its stride. Not to remember the past, but to carry it forward.
12 hours. One mission. #RespectTheBumps

Bathurst gave us everything: the light, the madness, the moments you replay in your head for months. And at the end of 12 hours, one thing was perfectly clear: #888 Mercedes-AMG Team GMR nailed it. 🏆
Maro Engel. Mikaël Grenier. Maxime Martin.
See you next year, Mountain. ⛰️
If you listen closely, you can hear 25 engineers whispering, “please don’t.” 🫣😂 That’s Bathurst: blind crests, compression, and a wall waiting if you get it wrong.

Proof that GT3s look amazing in technicolor. And proof that Mount Panorama makes everything look better.

The Mountain has a way of turning “calm weekend” into fiction. ⛰️👾

P29 to P1. History made! (Mount Panorama did NOT make it easy.) ⛰️😅 #888 Mercedes-AMG Team GMR won the Bathurst 12 Hour after 12 hours of chaos, strategy, and zero chill. 🏆
Mega drive from Maro Engel, Mikaël Grenier, and Maxime Martin to kick off the 2026 IGTC in style. Congratulations guys! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

A constellation of GT3 headlights… and 10 seconds later: a very expensive queue of rear wings. Ah yes. Bathurst. ⛰️

The Wall Racing Lamborghini in that classic BASF livery is THE Bathurst car. Loud, iconic, and impossible to miss.
Mount Panorama wouldn’t feel complete without it.
