F 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. Dazza.

macka'sxr6t Member 1,480 Member For: 20y 7m 30d Location: Mildura Posted 19/03/05 12:23 PM Share Posted 19/03/05 12:23 PM 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 macka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 2m 22d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 20/03/05 06:39 AM Share Posted 20/03/05 06:39 AM ...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.

Donating Members 1,199 Member For: 21y 2m 12d Location: Sydney Posted 20/03/05 08:08 AM Share Posted 20/03/05 08:08 AM 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.Clipsal 500, Adelaide Street Circuit, Round 1 17/3/2005 - 20/3/2005 Race 2Race Day: Sunday, 14:00-16:15 Race Duration: 250 Klms1 1 Pirtek Racing Marcos Ambrose Ford Falcon BA2 888 Team Betta Electrical Craig Lowndes Ford Falcon BA3 2 Expensive Daewoo Racing Team Mark Skaife Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VZ4 22 Expensive Daewoo Racing Team Todd Kelly Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VZ5 24 Team Perkins Racing Paul Dumbrell Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VY6 33 Valvoline Cummins Team Cameron McConville Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VZ7 45 WOW Sight & Sound Max Wilson Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VZ8 50 Super Cheap Auto Racing Paul Weel Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VZ9 15 HSV Dealer Team Rick Kelly Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VZ10 021 Team Kiwi Racing Paul Radisich Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VZ11 6 Ford Performance Racing Jason Bright Ford Falcon BA12 52 Fujitsu Racing Matthew White Ford Falcon BA13 25 Fujitsu Racing Steve Owen Ford Falcon BA14 20 Larkham Orrcon Racing Mark Winterbottom Ford Falcon BA15 17 Westpoint Racing Steven Johnson Ford Falcon BA16 67 Sirromet-Life Style Wine Paul Morris Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VZ17 8 WPS Craig Baird Ford Falcon BA18 9 Caltex Racing Russell Ingall Ford Falcon BA19 44 Team Dynamik Simon Wills Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VZ20 21 Team BOC Brad Jones Ford Falcon BA21 7 Autobarn Racing Alex Davison Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VY22 23 Tasman Motorsport Jamie Whincup Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VY23 48 WPS David Besnard Ford Falcon BA24 75 Toll Racing Anthony Tratt Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VY25 18 Westpoint Racing Glenn Seton Ford Falcon BA26 11 Team Perkins Racing Steven Richards Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VY27 34 Valvoline Cummins Team Andrew Jones Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VZDNF 12 Team BOC John Bowe Ford Falcon BADNF 5 Ford Performance Racing Greg Ritter Ford Falcon BADNF 3 Tasman Motorsport Jason Richards Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VYDNF 10 Larkham Orrcon Racing Jason Bargwanna Ford Falcon BADNF 16 HSV Dealer Team Garth Tander Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VZDNF 51 Super Cheap Auto Racing Greg Murphy Expensive Daewoo Late model camira VZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
