Half A Second

Best Bathurst I've seen in a long time. Lowndes made my year. Great result!

Those last few laps after the restart would have to be the most nail-biting motor race I've ever watched.

Definately went to the most deserving, and unlike Dags I'm not saying that just because he's a torana boy.

Great win for 888. I think he deserves it - especially after his huge effort at Sandown. Yep, those 8 Safety Cars sure make for a exciting ending!

Really luv'ed those in car dashes as the drivers do the circuit - check out those speeds they reach - close to 300km/h down the straight!!!

But, what a race - probably will go down in history as one of the most memorable (especially being the inaugural one for the Brock Cup)

An great way to spend 7 hours, and many memorable moments: the last 20 laps were enthralling, and a great drive by Lowndes to kept the Kelly boys at bay.

It must have taken a lot of skill to keep the cars on the track with that oil overfill error in the afternoon, dropping oil on the track, and there seemed to be a lot more tyre problems than normal, possibly because it was one of the hottest days at Bathurst in many years.

The 300kph "off" onto the sand was great to watch, then the jump over the track back onto the sandpit.

Great to see many Holdens drop out, and the dominance of the Ford finish.

I've just brought my tickets for Phillip Island, the championship is shaping up to be a cracking finish!

Well done for Craig and the 888 team.

A top effort by James Courtney and Glenn Seton aswell.

And don't forget Whincup. He was awesome.

My favourite laps? Lap 1 and Lap 161.

Skaife did more laps in the shootout than the race!!!

Talk about photo finish
