Poor Lowndesy has to battle his way through from the back again

[Falchoon]

Race 1 will be telecast tonight (Sat) at 10.30pm

Race 1 was somewhat ruined by 3 safety cars, obviously, I was quite happy with the result.

Before Marcos fans start b!tching, I will concur that he was unlucky to be the first man on the scene of Craig's marbles dump, however, I wont go as far to say thet Skaife did not deserve the win. In my honest opinion (trying not to be bias), I truly believe Skaife's car this weekend has been on the money and faster than any other car. I doubt Marcos would have been able to hold Mark off for 20 laps.

Can't wait for the next two races, bring on the biff and barge at corner 1!

Not sure about that Crisso - Ambrose was right up his quoit there for a while and then I think decided to pull back a little to save some tyres for todays races. Big Nose did go pretty well though - for him.

The telecast didn't show it and the commentators didn't mention it, BUT I think it was Richards who pushed Lowndes off. In the in-car shot you see the car change direction suddenly with no steering input from Lowndes.

Anyhow the second race has just got under way - what a nice start! Big Nose and Ambrose into corner one ...

Good to see both SBR cars on the dias & for Stevey J to finish so well, small congrats to Dik nose for coming home 6th in race 3 & to Steven Richards for his win of the round. Nice to see K1W1 hero in the garage early.

How good was the start of race two – full course yellow at the first corner!

Good to see all those red ones in the kitty litter all the time, and I have to agree with you Sally in that SBR have the goods, schnozzer is still playing bridesmaid and murphy had to leave early to have a sulk .

And a to Richards to for a well-deserved top place on the podium.

Trent.

Mr Ambrose what r u doing where does it say in the rule book u can turn around big nose on a regular basis for no reason (flame suit on) for someone that has such a talent your driving skills lately leave a hell of a lot to be desired.

Personaly I cant wait for u to P1ss of to USA try that over there and see what u get.
