John Bowe, Peter Edwards, Craig Lowndes and Mika Salo won the race for Maranello Motorsport, driving a Ferrari 458 GT3, after Lowndes won a close battle with German driver Maximilian Buhk late in the race. Buhk finished second for HTP Motorsport along with Thomas Jäger and Harold Primat, just four tenths of a second behind Lowndes. Greg Crick, Will Davison and Jack Le Brocq finished third for Erebus Motorsport, with Davison holding off Shane van Gisbergen in the closing laps despite having a damaged car. The Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 had shown early pace but was involved in an early crash at the top of the circuit and did not finish. Three Fiat Abarth 500s had been invited and were competing in their own class, with their lap times being much slower than the GT3 cars. A late safety car saw the three Fiats mixed in with the leading GT3 cars at the front of the safety car queue. The three drivers voluntarily drove through the pit lane as the race restarted, giving the leading GT3 cars a clearer track as they battled for position in the closing laps. The 2014 race was the fastest ever contested to that point, setting a distance record of 296 laps (1839 kilometres), which was not broken until 2016. Class structure Cars competed in the following six classes.Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour Official Event Programme, p. 34–35 Class A – GT3 Outright Class B – GT3 (Older Specification)/GT3 Cup Cars Class C – GT4 Class D – Invitational (over 3000cc) Class F – Invitational (up to 3000cc) Class I – Invitational (non-production) right vertical Bamber Barker Grove Porsche Bathurst 12 Hour 2014.JPG The Class B-winning Porsche 997 GT3 Cup of Earl Bamber, Ben Barker and Stephen Grove. 200 Alford Leemhuis OConnor Exige Bathurst 12 Hour 2014.JPG The Class C-winning Lotus Exige Cup R of Tony Alford, Peter Leemhuis and Mark O'Connor. 200 Billington Owers Scott Seat Bathurst 12 Hour 2014 01.JPG The Class D-winning SEAT León Supercopa of Richard Billington, Stuart Owers and Lewis Scott. 200 Gover Hede Sinclair Youlden Fiat Bathurst 12 Hour 2014.JPG The Class F-winning Fiat Abarth 500 of Paul Gover, Gregory Hede, Mike Sinclair and Luke Youlden. 200 Denyer Gowans Jacobson Miedecke Focus Bathurst 12 Hour 2014.JPG The Class I-winning MARC Focus GTC of Grant Denyer, Adam Gowans, Garry Jacobson and Andrew Miedecke. 200 Official results Pos.
