10 times world champ ----- dougie lamkin, as for not good enough for gp didnt he win the last 990 race ?,, or am i missing some thing ?

Sadly their car broke down on the warmup lap so Troy Bayliss didn't get to drive it in the race.
Was a good race with a couple of frightening offs.
I am not sure it has been written on here but it was announced a few weeks ago that 888 will be going to Holdens next year.

[Phantom Mark]

Wow, 888 to Holden !

You guys really should watch the V8 Supercar coverage on Motors TV, its very good indeed, been watching for years now and its about the very best tin top racing out there !

Cant wait to see Troy peddle it around the track, he was very quick from the word go on his test pre season !

Flag to flag wasnt it? Same race Rossi binned it. Ducati's first GP win. Also gave Ducati their first GP podium.

Not good enough.....pff

I think the Valvoline car went in quicker but managed to pull up before crossing the other part of the track. Can't find footage of that.

There has been some proper bad smashes at PI over the years, and I cannot believe that there was nothing the other side of the gravel trap to "physically" stop something going across at speed.

Awesome track and I hope they do not slow that straight down because of it, ala Conrod Straight at Bathurst.......
