Verstappen, Bonito Take Top Honors in 2021 iRacing Bathurst 12HR Top Split

March 1st, 2021 by

Team Redline’s Max Verstappen and Enzo Bonito dominated the top split of the 2021 iRacing Bathurst 12HR on Saturday, thoroughly beating more than 50 of iRacing’s top endurance racing teams in the once-around-the-clock battle of GT3 cars at Mount Panorama Circuit. The duo completed 344 laps and led all but 12 of them, finishing as the only car on the lead lap in the highest split of the weekend.

Fellow Team Redline drivers Jeffrey Rietveld and Aleksi Uusi-Jaakkola finished second in the top split, while the Logitech G Altus Esports duo of Cooper Webster and Jordan Caruso completed the podium. Just six cars finished within a lap of the leader, with the charge of URANO eSports drivers Louis Nahser and Daniel Pasztor from 23rd on the grid to fifth at the finish marking the most positions gained among them. Of the 55 teams entered in the top split, 31 were still running at the finish.

The 2021 iRacing Bathurst 12HR featured an expansion from two race times to four to accommodate more drivers at more race times. When all was said and done, 56 total splits were created, each with at least 48 cars, and well over 6,500 drivers took part in the various splits.
