Date posted: 6 January 2025
A familiar trio will drive the Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour together for a record time in an Audi this year.
Marc Cini, Lee Holdsworth and Dean Fiore will take on the endurance race for an eighth time, which makes them the longest-serving driving partnership in 12-Hour history.
They will be easy to spot again driving a Melbourne Performance Centre Audi R8 LMS.
Cini will also be the first driver to bring up 13 starts in Bathurst 12 Hour history, having made his debut in 2011.
The only race he missed was in 2012 with five top 10s the highlight.
The trio finished 13th outright last year and fourth in Pro Am, but their best result is sixth in 2022.
He will be racing alongside two Supercars veterans in Holdsworth and Fiore, who have 37 Great Race starts between them.
They also have plenty of Bathurst 12 Hour experience with Holdsworth making his debut in 2013 before returning with Cini in 2017, while Fiore made his debut in 2011.
The 2025 Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour will be on January 31 to February 2.
