2007 V8SCFC: Round 10 Bathurst 1000 Results

They talk so much about buying a ticket to the end - which just happened to be a lottery

Scuderia Cavallo Ferro have taken the chequered flag at Bathurst, tip-toeing to a 9-point win over Brendong Engineering. A blanket could be thrown over the equal-third-placed teams of Team Bourbonphone, BlueBlood Motorsport, and Below Average Racing.
Congrats to the Mountain-conquering pairings of Jamie Whincup, David Besnard, Greg Murphy, and Nathan Pretty!

Hard Charger Award
Phoenix Motorsport rose from the ashes (perhaps those of the BOC car...) to claim 15 places in the standings. Also successfully climbing the mountain were Squadra Darkness and Lego Racers (both up 10), Team Liquid Motorsport and Budget Action Racing (both up 8), and Team Tiger Racing and Team Fujitsu (both up 7).


Biggest Loser Award
The McPhillamy Parking Lot was full today, as Hazzard Motorsport (18 place drop) was joined in quick succession by Team Noiseworker Racing (down 17), West Surrey Racing (down 16), and B.O.R.I.N.G. (down 11). But at least Hazzard and B.O.R.I.N.G. scored points, something which the others, plus Tom's Red Army Racing, Sweet Hog Racing, and Stealthy Motorsport, didn't manage.

<cue louder Jaws music>
Defending champions Club 27 Racing have been rapidly unseated by two-time champions Scuderia Cavallo Ferro, who have opened a handy 36-point margin on the field. Club 27 slide into second, comfortably ahead of third-placed Hayden Craig Motorsport.

Scuderia Cavallo Ferro are making no race of the Battle of the Mods after surging into the overall lead. Pinnacle Motorsport have dropped back to an even 200 points behind, with CelciusSport a long way further back.
