MOTORSPORT Australia\u2019s investigation into the shocking crash which stopped the 2026 Meguiar\u2019s Bathurst 12 Hour will come to a head next week.<\/p>\n

Estonian driver Ralf Aron had held the outright lead in the GT3 race before ploughing unsighted into the stricken Porsche of Johannes Zelger on the run to Forrest\u2019s Elbow. Aron suffered a broken back<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Motorsport Australia\u2019s review of the incident has been completed, with recommendations passed onto its Motorsport Risk and Safety Committee.<\/p>\n

The MRSC will meet next Tuesday March 31 and decide whether to accept those findings, which largely relate to making process improvements \u2013 especially at Mount Panorama.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The timing of that meeting is crucial, given that it falls just before the next motorsport event at the Mountain.<\/p>\n

That is, of course, the Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour. The production car enduro will run across the Easter weekend, April 3-5.<\/p>\n

Australian motorsport stalwart Ryan McLeod had pleaded for changes to be made prior to the 6 Hour<\/a>, including his vision for a Bathurst-specific \u2018super yellow flag\u2019 system.<\/p>\n

PremiAir Racing team principal Roland Dane chairs the MRSC, to which two-time Great Race winner Will Davison has recently been added<\/a>. Paul Morris is among others on the committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MOTORSPORT Australia\u2019s investigation into the shocking crash which stopped the 2026 Meguiar\u2019s Bathurst 12 Hour will come to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":562382,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":["post-562381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=562381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562381\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/562382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=562381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=562381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=562381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
