Watch This Nissan GT-R GT3 Race Car Go From Trashed To Like New Overnight
Watch This Nissan GT-R GT3 Race Car Go From Trashed To Like New Overnight-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:25

Racing never sleeps, as you were probably reminded of . That’s particularly true when you’ve got a wrecked nub of a race car in the garage and a qualifying session for the main race in about 16 hours.

This trashed Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 race car wound up in the garage at about 6:30 p.m. local time on Friday, after a full day of Bathurst 12 Hour practice that at Australia’s .

Rather than, you know, getting healthy amounts of sleep, the crew worked on the car from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 a.m. the next day in order to get it back out there in time for a morning qualifying session for the main race. The time lapse above lets you watch the whole thing in just over a minute, though that short runtime likely downplays the amount of work that actually went into this fix.

The race on Saturday and has a YouTube , if you’d like to have something to occupy your afternoon.

This Weird Also-Ran Le Mans Prototype Class Desperately Needs Someone To Care
Ginetta, a British marque so semi-obscure that you may have forgotten that people still race Ginettas all the time, its plan to add teams in the World Endurance Championship’s LMP1 privateer class starting in 2018. That’s good, because there’s only one entry in LMP1 privateer this year. Sad! I say...

Just Sit Back And Watch This Cracked-Out Alfa Romeo 4C Storm Up A Hill
I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to divine the regulations of hillclimb events, or lack thereof. It seems to be the last bastion of “nearly anything goes” in terms of power and aerodynamics. Do I care about what those specific rules are? Hell naw. Here’s a cracked-out and roided-up...

When You Really Only Care About Your Bumper
Look, the rest of the car—I can take it or leave it. Just attach the tow hook to the bumper. That’s all I want back if I get stuck out on track. Don’t bother attaching the hook to anything structural on the car itself that might accidentally pull the whole...

This Is How You Say 'Hi, Mom' From The Dakar Rally
Everyone’s a ham for the camera, but how many of you can wave at the cameras while flying along at 112 mph in the sand? French rider Adrien Van Beveren waved for the cameras atop his Yamaha during Stage 2 of this year’s Dakar Rally. Stage 2 concluded yesterday, and...
