And they were the right winners whatever Holden fans might like to think.

Erm, it was the Ford fans that complained the most about that...

It's funny thinking that some were booing simply because the GTR was an overseas car, conveniently ignoring that the Ford Sierra was neither Australian made nor built.

Hoping for a good race and Lowndes/Skaife victory tomorrow.

Cannot wait for this! Only V8 Supercar race I really care about. Epic. Not sure how much of it i'm going to manage, did the full race in 2005, been at uni every year so this year is my first chance since!

Lap 1 and Coulthard has barrel-rolled at the Chase. :s hock:

Glad he's ok.

Both drivers have had oodles of experience, both a capable of turning up the wick when appropriate and they have arguably the best built car under them.
888 didn't get to be multiple BTCC, V8 Supercar champions for nothing.

Told ya so.

1-2 victory for 888, which is the first time since 1984 and only the fourth in the events history.
Interestingly in both 1977 and 2010 there was a 1-2 at Bathurst and a tied Grand Final in Australian Rules Football.

the v8 supercars are by far the best tourers in the world, real beasts!
