Barring the Bahrain round, because you can't get any good growth in 3 days, Crooks Motorsport have carried their retro '70's porn star looks to a Movember double! The lightning finish to the season also gained Stuie a tie for most round wins in the season, with 2.
Congrats to Magnum PI lookalikes Jamie Whincup, Mark Skaife, Lee Holdsworth and Shane Price!

Hard Charger Award
West Surrey Racing's 5 place gain was the only significant last-gasp movement up the ladder, so earneth the Hard Charger.


Biggest Loser Award
The last-round pressure really told on Power Charged Racing, who apparently forgot to plug the batteries in, and Lego Racers, who simply fell apart. Both teams suffered a 5 place fall and the final Loser award for the year.

Well it was always likely to be deja vu for either Scuderia Cavallo Ferro or Club 27 Racing, but in the end it was SCF celebrating their third Ten-Tenths V8Supercar Fantasy Championship title. Club 27 really made them work for it though, finishing just 7 points away from a successful title defence.
Hayden Craig Motorsport managed to hold off Below Average Racing for the final podium spot, while Brendon Engineering slipped to fifth.
Team Bourbonphone crossed the line to take sixth, followed by BlueBlood Motorsport, Australian Motorsports, Team Tiger Racing and Eagle Motorsport rounding out the Top Ten.

2007 Season Awards

The Yoyo Award - for appearing in the Hard Charger or Biggest Loser column far too often
Hazzard Motorsport (redrag)
Team Liquid Motorsport (liquid drano)
Hazzard Motorsport placed 4 times in the Hardest Charger and once in the Biggest Loser, but only ever won the Loser award.
Team Liquid Motorsport were truly all over the show, with three appearances and an award in each.

Hardest Charger - 2007's demon overtaker
Australian Motorsports (Chatters)
When they were good they were very, very good - Australian Motorsports two Hard Charger awards were for gaining 24 and 22 places in a single round.
Rombles Racing also won this award twice, but they spoiled it by also getting a Biggest Loser.

Biggest-est Loser - you don't need a car to play in the sandpit
Total Team Red & One Other (Harves)
Red Bull Autotechnica (HRT433)
Power Charged Racing (WebberforWDC)
Team Mousemat Racing (nickyf1)
All of the above 'won' the Biggest Loser once and also placed in the Loser category once, except Total Team Red & One Other, who despite earning the Biggest Loser award and two placings, sullied their record by sneaking into the Hardest Charger once.

Series Third Place and Rookie of the Year
Hayden Craig Motorsport (H C Motorsport)
All over the pointy end for most of the season - 6 appearances in the Top 5.

Series Runner-Up
Club 27 Racing (woodbine)
Defending series champion, fell short by the narrowest of margins.
By my reckoning Woodbine will also get the prize of one year's free subscription to Ten-Tenths, since I don't think I'm eligible for prizes anymore.

Series Champion
Scuderia Cavallo Ferro (Antrodemus)
Third championship title, to go with those won in 2003 and 2004.
