V8 Supercars - Enduro Season (including some poms)
Discussion
Just thought I'd fill you guys in on the Phillip Island 500 that was run today. This is the lead up race to the Bathurst 1000 (Pronounced baff not bath by the way)
The last lap was very controversial with Lowndes seemingly pulling over to let Tander past. Next year 888 are changing from Ford to Holden and the two teams (Directed by Roland Dane and Tom Walkinshaw) will be in a partnership.

This being Interesting as Leanne Tander in the race winning Garth Tander's wife in her first main game V8 drive. She is a race winner (I think) in Formula ford and maybe a 2nd tier V8 catagory.

This was a pretty exciting moment from the race. Could have gone very badly.

Thanks for the heads up. Is it likely Lowndes actually let Tander past as he seemed to fight it for a couple of corners and when he did eventually lose the spot he still continued to drop back?
That McConville crash was madness, that was only a couple of feet away from being one of the worst crashes ever. Surely they need a tyre barrier inbetween the two sections of track to prevent that happening again?

Looked a bit suss to me. Lowndes is capable of putting up more of a fight than that.gassolinebonce said:

Indeed 
I'm amazed there is not a barrier. The gravel trap barely slowed him at all.
t sorry. Can I edit the title?Motors tv (Sky Channel 413, Virgin Media 545)
V8 SUPERCARS: BATHURST 1000 2009 - LIVE!
The Bathurst 1000 is not only the biggest motorsport event in Australia, but one of the biggest worldwide. Located on Mount Panorama three hours from Sydney, the six kilometre circuit combines high speed corners with a snaking, twisty layout more reminiscent of a rally stage! A true challenge…
The race will see 30 V8 Supercars (Ford Falcons and Holden Commodores) each with two drivers sharing the driving duties, allowing a number of ‘foreigners’ to take on the Australian stars. A colossal battle between the Ford shared by triple champion Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes and the Holden of Garth Tander and Will Davison is expected but don’t count out the Commodore shared by the semi-retired quintuple champion Mark Skaife and Greg Murphy, who have nine wins between them at Bathurst!
For the past ten years Motors TV has been the exclusive broadcaster of the V8 Supercar Championship in Europe and the channel has, since 2001, brought LIVE coverage of the Bathurst race. This year we bring live action from the beginning of the race at 10pm on Saturday 10 October right through to the end of the race. Coverage will also include the warm up and the supporting Porsche Carrera Cup and V8 Utes races. A fantastic weekend of motorsport to savour on the ‘High Speed Television’ channel.
