Grove Crash Bathurst 12 Hour 2025

The Grove racing car was sent airborne after crashing into a concrete wall during the 2025 Bathurst 12 Hour race.

Grove walked away from the accidnet but was taken to hospital for observation following the incident.

So airborne was Grove in the crash, that the veteran came scarily close to clearing the concrete wall that surrounds the course. Given the crash took place at Skyline at the track’s peak at the top of Mount Panorama, the result could have been fatal had his car rolled down.
