\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Problems
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe #26 Arise Racing Ferrari 296 of Jaxon Evans, Davide Rigon, and Daniel Serra during Practice 5 of the Bathurst 12 Hour.<\/p>\n

The car, driven by Jaxon Evans, Davide Rigon, and Daniel Serra, was pictured leaking fluid midway through the 60-minute session.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, down here in the Ferrari garage, things have gone from bad to worse,\u201d said Bathurst 12 Hour pit reporter Shea Adam.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey pulled the front end off, they pulled the back end off. They said they had sensor failures.<\/p>\n

\u2018Unfortunately, they\u2019ve had to pull a belt off as well from underneath the middle of the car.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks as if the coolant has just decided to expel all of its innards and belongings from the front of the car.\u201d<\/p>\n

The session, which was topped by Christopher Haase, ran without incident.<\/p>\n

While the Audi R8 may be one of the oldest GT3 cars in the Bathurst 12 Hour, it showed it\u2019s still no slouch.<\/p>\n

Haase put the #55 Melbourne Performance Centre entry on top of the timesheets with a 2:03.0404s in the Pro car he will share with Will Brown and Brad Schumacher.<\/p>\n

Scott Taylor Motorsport went second fastest with its Chaz Mostert\/Cameron Waters\/Thomas Randle #222 Mercedes-AMG, just 0.2150s off the pace.<\/p>\n

Third went the way of the #75 Mercedes-AMG of Jules Gounon\/Luca Stolz\/Kenny Habul, with the 75 Express entry 0.2653s away.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe car felt good, I have to say,\u201d said Haase.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously we tried to make it a little bit of a quali run feeling for later on and the car worked well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did a lot to fine-tune the car from yesterday. We were able to switch on the tyre just okay, and you need a clean lap here.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting a clean lap was so far not easy, but I had one clean lap and it worked out. This means nothing yet. The job is coming tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haase\u2019s last Bathurst 12 Hour start in 2024 netted a podium with Melbourne Performance Centre alongside Kelvin van der Linde and Liam Talbot. This year is his ninth start in the race.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis race is so unique because of the atmosphere, what it is. It comes for me the closest to the Nurburgring Nordschleife,\u201d said Haase.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I am from Germany, we are locals there, so we love the Nordschleife, and this one is a mix between Macau and Nordschleife. It\u2019s something you have to do in your life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Practice 6 at the Meguiar\u2019s Bathurst 12 Hour is scheduled for 10:05am AEDT.<\/p>\n
