Earl Bamber compares Bathurst 1000 with Le Mans 24 Hours DAVID LONG AT BATHURSTGETTY IMAGES Earl Bamber says his time racing in a Porsche in the Bathurst 12 Hour race has helped him this weekend. This may not be as big as Le Mans, but Kiwi Earl Bamber has been blown away by his first Bathurst 1000 experience. Having spent a couple of days driving around the Mount Panorama track in wet conditions, Bamber says he's still loving his time at the event. "The weather has been a bit sad, but I've had a couple of good runs," Bamber said. When comparing the Bathurst 1000 with Le Mans, Bamber says the former doesn't have the scale of the French race, but says he's been taken aback by how passionate the spectators are.
