Watching late at night in the UK. What a finish. I do like Lowndsey, but I feel for the likes of Ingall and Frosty. Great drivers all in such tough greasy conditions. But of such things are great races made. Fool that I am I didn't even know Mt Panorama existed. I'm making up for it now.
Great drive junior, probably the cleanest of all the front runners, shame he was pushed wide into hell corner,, lowness favourite place to pushem wide. Did it to winterbottom also a few years later. Great race though.
Im curious: Why different rims for the same type of tire? I could see different rims maybe for different compounds, but it was two different rims for slicks
OZ Racing 5 spoke (Star) wheels were getting more and more expensive so people started buying the Triple Eight designed A-tek wheel (on the DJR and Triple Eight cars) which were cheaper. The extra spokes also helped the pit crew in grabbing the wheel and creating faster pit stop times. There was also a supposedly better aerodynamic and and thermo management of the brakes with the multispoke OZ Racing wheels and A-tek wheel compared to the OZ Racing 5 spoke as V8 Supercars at the time were moving to a controlled 48 vane Alcon front brake rotor. This was all gone by 2010 Philip Island with the mandate of the first control wheel - the Team Dynamics one imported in by Racer Industries/Rim Stock.
i needed this after 2024 bathurst. This was the stuff!
Thanks for posting these long videos. I didn't watch V8 Supercars in the 2000s, so this is a great way for me to learn the history of the sport.
I knew my head was in one V8 video standing behind Jason bright in sand trap wow what a race that one
I'm not sure I follow...agree that this was a wild one though 😁
@BilobateDrip I'm at the fence standing. Yes, it was a cold, wet day

This was the crash that made Mark Skaife retire from full time racing.
He mentioned it on a podcast. I Think it was Rusty's Garage.
2008 it was mate, he ruined Tanders championship
That would have to be the coldest day I’ve ever endured there.

@victordo9408 gotcha, thanks man 🫡
@@victordo9408 i always thought they were OZ superleggaras, didnt realise they were a 888 designed set-up... thanks for the info :)
Surprised Supercars let the Ford dominate like this, it’s like Tander VS the Fords 😁
those BA falcons were something else
@@zackr1896 aren’t they BF’s or? I dunno 🤷🏻♂️
Ford sucks
Is that why they got 1st, 2nd and 3rd in this?
