Recapping the Bathurst 1000 special event attempt with Buzza

Locked On iRacing

I grab some time out of Buzza's busy schedule to chat to him about our recent attempt at the iRacing special event, the Bathurst 1000. We chat a little bit about what Bathurst means to us and our history with both the car and the track within iRacing itself and the journey that it has been for both of us to actually give the iRacing special event a go for the first time ever.

We discuss the first stint with myself in the car and the expectations we had at this stage of the race and the stress of trying to survive in the race when it was clear that was not the most important goal of some of those around us at the time.

We then discussed the way we settled into a rhythm finally and watched the mountain claim a lot of the cars around us as we expected it would. We talk about the strain of double stinging around the mountain and the toll that it can take on you.

Finally, we went through those final stages of the race where things got super tense, even though we had already blown our expectations clear out of the water and were more than happy to finish where we did but balance that with the ego wanting to hold on to just one place higher with two laps to go.
