Re: bathust
It's a bit of a pity that Ford won't be funding a race team after this season. I don't know what impact this will have on competition. Nobody has ever gone last to first before. It was a bloody good drive. Lucky the co-driver didn't poke it into the wall too hard when he had a little event on cold tyres.T1 Terry wrote:The fact that it took the strength of a Ford to get from last place to first place on race day seem to something the Holden lovers seem to want to ignore, no Holden has ever achieved such a feat. That eng was pushed at it max all day, no electrical failures, no gearbox failures, no drive shaft failures, a very well prepared car

Re: bathust
How tough was that Nissan and how good were their crew, twice into the wall and still came 2nd, great to see the Moffat name back up there on the podium

Re: bathust
Would have to be some of the best racing ever seen up on the mountain. Didn't think much of 888 giving Frosty a bump like that, reckon that wasn't prearranged. They lost a lot of fans doing that. Going to be interesting to see how Ambrose goes on the come back trail.

Re: bathust
I remember years ago Larry Perkins won the race from a lap down early in the race although things have changed a lot since then it was a great result for Ford

The same could be said for Lee Holdsworth and Mercedes with the Russell Ingall take down on turn 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOUIaWrwE2Y and such an experienced driver

Re: bathust
I agree with you Terry!
What about all the starter motor failures in the Holdens?
Someone needs to look into that!!
