Embarking on a 12-hour endurance drive in the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 from Melbourne to Bathurst, we set out to experience the thrill of endurance racing without the need for multiple drivers. This road trip, spanning 840 kilometers, mirrored the distance covered by race cars in the Bathurst 12 Hour, demanding optimal performance from both the car and the driver. The journey, though not as fast as the race, showcased the Corvette's versatility, from its comfortable cruise control to its adaptable suspension, making it a joy to navigate the scenic route. Despite the long hours, the car's performance remained impressive, with fuel consumption settling at 12.4L/100km. This drive, though challenging, highlighted the Corvette's ability to handle extended periods on the road, making it a compelling choice for both leisure and racing.
