3:00 p.m. – Suzuki n ° 1 world endurance champion !

By winning for the 6th time in a row at the Bol thanks to its official n ° 1 machine, Suzuki secures a new title of world endurance champion while the n ° 7 Yamaha of Austria Racing, 2nd ahead of the Kawasaki n ° 111, is promoted vice-champion.

While the GMT team sadly dismantles its stand, the Suzuki n ° 1 in the hands of Keichi Kitagawa – who is retiring at the end of this 70th Bol d’Or – and the Suzuki n ° 72 driven by Thomas Metro are road together to the finish line.

All the competitors follow in line, with the Yamaha n ° 7 from Austria Racing and the official Kawasaki n ° 111 respectively in second and third place after 24 hours of racing..

Keichi Kitagawa on the head machine passes the Adelaide turn at the end of regulation time, 3:00 p.m. sharp, and crosses the line in front of a relatively packed main stand despite the unfavorable weather this Sunday (50,000 spectators according to the organizers).
