I like the look of that top three, except Rick Kelly has to get up higher in the grid and pass Lowndes if he wants a chance at winning that championship. Can't wait to see the race, should a good finale cos the points gap is so close.

 

[STEALTHY™]

Race 1 is run, not sure how the points stand, but Top 5 were

T Kelly
G Tander
M Skaife (omg, he didn't crash)
C Lowndes
R Kelly

3 points seperate kelly and lowndes. I cannot understand why Skaife was shown bad sportsmanship flag, what a joke..did anyone take notice as to why craig lowndes livery has LNowdes on the side?

 

[WAGON MAN]

Minux the livery is for Vodafone as a new major sponsor. click here

I'm pretty sure Betta electrical went into liquidation.

 

[minux]

yeh but why is it Lnowdes lol?

 

[markovr]

It doesnt look good for rick kelly....he couldn't get near lowndes in the first race and he starts behind clownes in race 2.......he needs a miracle...rain or a race incident (not involving him)or a 888 mechanical failure, pit stop bungle?to win the championship.

 

[holden#1]

yeh but why is it Lnowdes lol?

yeah it is a weird spelling of LOWNDES!

Watched the battle between Lowndes & Skaife with interest... Good to see skaife doing well under presure. also good to see Lowndes keeping his cool and not being over aggressive.
There seems to be a few FORD drivers who have a very aggressive driving approach which often lands them in trouble...
Russell Ingall
Craig Lowndes
Marcos Ambrose

i hope lowndes land on his lid. O im hiped 4 this 1 boys and gals got the beer the bbq and the car heads bring it on...........oooooooo i can smell victory already!!!

 

[markovr]

Cant believe those ****in stewards have again ruined the round and virtually given the round to Lowndes.Tander out of equation Windcup looming ....unless Lowndes gets hit by lightning he is goin to win the whole show...comentators are beating it up but realistically rick has come close but those pricks in the stewards room have ruined the race 3......Lowndes deserves to win but it seems he has taken over from ambrose ...winge and you shall receive...if you are good enough pass him on the track.


PS...Hope Im wrong about Lowndes running away with championship (Ive ordered the lightning)
