Racing star takes violent bath in kangaroo blood at iconic race
Two-time Bathurst 12-Hour winner Chris Mies had a memorable race this year after crashing into a kangaroo within 20 minutes of the event. The kangaroo met a tragic fate, with parts of it ending up both inside and outside of Mies’ Ford Mustang. The impact shattered Mies’ windscreen, leaving him covered in blood and kangaroo remains, causing temporary blindness and disorientation.
After multiple showers to clean up, Mies returned to the paddock, recounting the surreal experience of racing with his helmet full of kangaroo guts. Despite the ordeal, Mies tried to salvage his race equipment, seeking to repair his bloodstained helmet for future races. The race was eventually won by the Mercedes-AMG Team GMR crew, overshadowed by the series of dramatic events at Bathurst.
