Pirelli doesn't seem to have had any trouble producing durable, low-profile tires for this race.
Too bad F1 forces them to supply 13" pieces of crap that fall apart in 10 laps.

The Record Breaking 2019 Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour Distance record smashed 3 February 2019 Some telling facts and figures from the 2019 Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour Whilst 13 of the 38 starters retired from the race there were precious few major incidents, and remarkably little time under caution. The Safety Car was scrambled eight times over the race distance but was on track for just 22 of the eventual 312 completed race laps. That total of completed laps smashes the distance record here for this race – (previously 297 laps) giving a completed race distance of 1938.5 km – very close indeed to double the distance of this circuit’s other blue riband event the Bathurst 1000! The green flag run to the final Safety Car period – for recovery of a stricken GT4 KTM, was an impressive 4 hours and four minutes – 111 laps – and despite that seven cars remained on the lead lap – a car apiece for each of five marques – Porsche, Aston Martin, Bentley, Nissan and BMW plus a pair of AMGs. The average speed of the race was astonishing – 161km/hr or 100.625 mph. Taking out the 8 minutes and 42 seconds spent on pit road by the winning car and discounting the slower safety car laps the average green flag lap time for the #912 was around 2:06.5 across 12 hours of racing.

Matt Campbell cleared, officially wins 12 Hour PORSCHE has retained their win in today’s Bathurst 12 Hour after the race officials cleared Earl Bamber Motorsport driver Matt Campbell of wrongdoing late in the race. The eventual race winner made contact with then-third placed Chaz Mostert in the final 40 minutes going through the Chase, causing Mostert in the #42 Team Schnitzer entry to go off the road as the #912 passed him. After announcing that the incident would be subject to a post-race investigation, the stewards have cleared Campbell of a breach after he took the flag to win the race. A statement from the stewards meeting read, “The stewards have deemed that after receiving advise from the DSO and reviewing available footage, have determined that there was insufficient evidence for a breach.” Campbell’s drive in the final stint secured Porsche their first victory in the 12 Hour including the first for the young Australian who has raced in the past six straight. His co-drivers Dirk Werner and Dennis Olsen also make their first appearance on the top step of the Bathurst podium in the first GT3 race for Earl Bamber Motorsport and the last outing of the current-spec Porsche 911 GT3R.

The Aston Martin #62 with Jake Dennis behind the wheel sat on the pole and finished a close second. This was the last race for the last 12 cylinder car.
