Reza Seewooruthun and his team delivered an outstanding performance in the Bathurst 12 Hour iRacing event, securing pole position and fighting at the front before taking a well-earned podium finish.
With Kenzo Craige putting in a superb qualifying lap in wet conditions, the team started from pole. The opening stint saw them maintain the lead on wets before switching to slicks, briefly dropping a place but quickly regaining control. A dominant first half saw them build a 30-second advantage.
Reza completed a solid two-hour stint before handing the car over to Ollie Meadows. As teams executed different strategies and their Mercedes struggled for pace in the dry, they lost a few positions. Reza fought hard to climb from P3 to P2, executing a smart undercut in the pits. The final stints saw the car return to P3, with Kenzo making a late push to close the gap.
“This was an intense but brilliant race,” said Reza. “We showed great pace and teamwork, and while we aimed for the win, securing a podium at Bathurst is still a fantastic result. There’s plenty to take away from this experience, and I can’t wait for the next challenge.”
A big thank you to everyone at Mercedes F1 Esports for making this happen!
