^^ definitely with you there. Craig (or someone else) may one day equal or beat the Brock record at the Mountain, but for now Peter is still the King.
Personally, I think that Craig is such a class act - he can do stuff in the car that in all honesty I think that anyone else in the comp would struggle to do - incredibly instinctive car control. The sight of him monstering Tander via Tander's rear camera was just so good and really nothing to tire of. Having two good drivers right on the edge so close to each other for quite a few laps is great racing. |

That #1 Falcon was definately class of the field, it and it's sister Ford look to be the gun units this year.
Awesome drive by Lee Holdsworth - Another GRM driver showing form as he "matures" |

Whincup drove like a champion for the weekend.
Lowndes would have been a contender for the weekend if the power steering hadn't failed on Saturday. Tander was certainly impressive. Will Davison a very impressive and solid start to the year. Lee Holdsworth likewise a good start and hopefully a round win or two this year. Paul Dumbrell was impressive and if hadn't got into a tangle with Courtney in race 1 would have gone close to a podium. Steve Johnson another solid weekend, hopefully a round win this season. Russel Ingall seemed on the pace and showed some good form. |

Tim Edwards may have had an arguement if Lee Holdsworth's results were a bit different. He started beside him and he came out ok. |

Is JW the Aussie Loeb? Nope. Not yet. But as in any sport, once you get on a roll, the competition tend to focus more on the leader, and perhaps lose sight of what is actually needed - focus on your own game.
To a certain degree JW has a percentage of them beaten before they even roll the cars out of the trucks. The more they talk about and worry about him, the worse they will get, and the easier it is for him.... |

Didn't Frosty get done for turn 4, that's Lowndes at 7, was the ruling the same for all of the corners?

Yeah the point still stands, you can't have all 4 on that side of the yellow line. If that was qualifying or the race, whincup should have been penalised (it should be across the whole board, not just some cars) Frostys was definitely on his top10 lap....

That would be interesting.... lets disqualify everyone from the Clipsal so no-one has any points.
