Absolute Racing’s last appearance at the Bathurst 12 Hours was noticed. Matt Campbell had indeed signed Porsche’s first pole position in this event, then the Australian finished fourth in the race alongside Frenchmen Mathieu Jaminet and Patrick Pilet.
Winner at Mount Panorama in 2024, Campbell will once again wear the colors of the Chinese team to defend his title on February 2. He will be accompanied by one of his teammates with whom he won last year, namely the Turkish Ayhancan Güven. The two men will again be accompanied by a Belgian this year, but not by Laurens Vanthoor, since the third point of the trident will be Alessio Picariello.
« The Bathurst 12 Hour is a very special event and is always an incredible way to kick off a new season, says Alexandre Gibot, Managing Director of Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific Ltd. We are delighted to support Absolute Racing in their return to the Mount Panorama circuit. The team performed very well in 2020, taking a superb pole position for its debut. With reigning champions Matt and Ayhancan in the car, as well as 2024 Pro-Am winner Alessio, we believe the team has what it takes to fight at the front once again. It is a very difficult race and we know from previous years that anything can happen, but the team is experienced and with such a group of riders we are very excited to take part in this event. »
