Triple 8 had their chances but their screw up in the pits – the penalty – cost them and they lost too much time in the wet. The cards didn’t fall their way this year.

Great for Garth and Will. Will’s drive in the wet was awesome.

Looks like The Stig finished 20th, five laps down. His co-driver must have driven backwards for his stint….

Stop the fight, The Stig is on track. Currently 23rd, but the engraver might as well start now…

Mark, it’s probably a good thing that he can’t hear ducks given the weather around Bathurst currently!! Some say he knows only two facts about ducks, and they’re both wrong!!

Some say that he does not sweat.
and that he cannot hear ducks!

You are spot on, driving a race car is enormously physically demanding, what with the heat, the g forces, the physical demands and the need to stay mentally alert and cool.

It is like riding a treadmill bike at full pace that is strapped onto a roller coaster while trying to do a suduko.

Adrian, I’ve just seen the drivers announced to the crowd, and the winner now is obvious to me. It’ll be the second Kelly brothers car simply becuase they have….. THE STIG!!! Don’t know who’s driving with him, but it won’t matter, ‘cos The Stig stops for no-one.

Some say… that in his first appearance at Mt.Panorama, he drove non-stop. And won!!

Should be a great race. Surely Lowndes and Whincup are due some bad luck though.
