Class Winners at the 2025 Bathurst 12 Hour

Feb 3, 2025 | News

The Arise Racing GT Pro Am entry left its first Bathurst 12 Hour with silverware.

The Ferrari steered by Jaxon Evans, Elliott Schutte, Brad Schumacher and Ferrari factory driver Alessio Rovera claimed a hard fought class win.

The combination was in a race long battle with the Manthey EMA #91 Porsche of Laurin Heinrich, Morris Schuring, Sam Shahin and Yasser Shahin.

The Ferrari started on the back foot with #36 down in 18th.

But by the end of the first stint they were nose to tail which set up the battle and the turning point arrived on Lap 200 where a five-lap undercut saw the Ferrari snatch the lead.

In what was the closest class battle outside of outright, Evans kept Heinrich at arm’s length to win by 25s.

“The temperature was quite hot but I was able to rope back in Yasser and Sam’s team during the double stint in the middle of the race and that put ourselves back onto the lead lap,” Schumacher recalled.

“That gave us the opportunity to strike and from there the story tells itself.”
