Yep skaife hit the wall and wasnt able to post a time, but Jason Brights time was discarded after a pit violation and Slaife was elevated to 9th.

Did yous see the accident with the BMW in the GTP race. F :spoton: K me dead, I am amazed he walked away with no problems, even more lucky that he didnt take out the white XR6T in his off, otherwise I would have made sure he didnt walk away. :blink:

Dazza.

perhaps it was the tie rod end, makes sense to me more so than tyre rod head

yeah mate, possibly, I am a mechanical novice, so perhaps I heard wrong and didn't know any better :blink:

Looks like it is going to be a good year from Lowndes know he has the right equipement under him and he obviously likes SBR engines.

“Today has definitely shown that the move to Triple Eight was the right move for me. We have a very ‘hands on’ team, who are incredibly focused and hungry to win. The engines are the best I’ve ever had and now it’s just a matter of working with our engineers to match my driving style with the car and vice versa.”

1 2 3 Might be a common occurance with these threee drivers :spoton:

...and would have been again but Rusty messed up.

Oh well. Yeah I'm impressed. This will be a great season for Craig Lowndes. There was a question. Did Lowndes departure from FPR happen too soon? Judging from this 1st round, hard to say.

True, he does like the SBR Power Plant. Both Ambrose and Lowndes, watching the drivers performing a lap from inside the cabin, each of these cars are perfectly tuned to both drivers styles. Both will be hard to beat this season.

Was a kick-ar$e start to the official V8 season, although not entirely happy with the result ;) I thoroughly enjoyed the racing and the competition. Lowndes and Skaife did an awesome job from the rear, Marcos did it fairly easily, but credit where credit's due, SBR are going to prove a tough challenge in 2005.
