00:00The V8 supercars are back, and they're Y2K ready.
00:13Faster, louder, and more spectacular than ever.
00:18A snarling, thundering pack of 450 kilowatt Aussie V8s
00:22is set to blow the door handles off the new millennium.
00:25New cars, new stars, and a new V8 light series for privateers,
00:32all eager to etch their names in V8 history after a truly unforgettable 99 season.
00:38A year when Craig Lowndes claimed his record third Shell Series crown.
00:42Murphy and Richards conquered Bathurst for the General,
00:45and Ford legend Dick Johnson bid an emotional final farewell.
00:49This is V8 Supercar 2000.
00:52This is Phillip Island Raceway.
00:55And this is round one of the 2000 Shell Championship Series.
01:00Exclusive to your home of Y2K Motorsport, Network 10.
01:11Oh, look at that.
01:14It is the home of the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix,
01:35and a real favourite among riders and drivers all around the world.
01:39And once again, the peace and tranquillity of Phillip Island is set to be shattered by the V8 supercars.
01:44Hello, I'm Greg Rust.
01:45This is round one of the Shell Championship Series for Season 2000.
01:49And what a year lies ahead.
01:50It's going to be a terrific year.
01:51We're going to all four corners of the country.
01:54In fact, we're going, of course, to the Adelaide 500, as we did last year.
01:57That event, if you can believe it, is going to be even bigger and better when we travel down there in April.
02:01The National Capital 100.
02:03That is a new event on this season's calendar.
02:05Canberra and the race, of course, down around Lake Burley Griffin.
02:08And in between the old and the new Parliament House, that promises to be a ripper.
02:12And it all concludes with the FAI 1000 Classic at Bathurst, Mount Panorama.
02:16And it will go right down to the wire, no doubt, as it did in Season 1999.
02:20Well, during the course of the off-season, our own Barry Sheen has been down here to the island.
02:24He's been here many times before as a commentator, but it's the first time he's been down here as a rider.
02:27But as you had two wins, has that changed your perspective on the island?
02:30Oh, it's a great circuit. It's a real Grand Prix-type circuit.
02:33The thing that really shocked me was how narrow it is.
02:35And for the V8s around here, I can't imagine there's a lot of room.
02:39It's good this year they changed the format.
02:40There's two 45-minute races, compulsory pit stop.
02:44They have to change the tyres, or if they don't change them,
02:46they have to take the wheels off and put the same wheels back.
02:49So it's going to make the old pit crews work pretty hard,
02:52and I think it's going to be very competitive.
02:53Very quickly, we've had four seasons in one day as well, haven't we?
02:56So the weather could be a factor.
02:58Oh, absolutely.
02:59I think Larry Perkins will be quite pleased if it does rain,
03:02because he ruined a set of tyres when he went off behind John Faulkner.
03:05But I think we're going to be in for a real good one.
03:07I can't wait. It's the first race.
03:09Well, there's been plenty happening during the off-season.
03:11Lots of scuttlebutton changes in the paddock area.
03:13And to bring you up to speed on all of them,
03:14here's a report from our own Mark Osler.
03:16It's an all-new look for reigning Bathurst champs Greg Murphy and Stephen Richards.
03:23The former Wins Commodores are now Kmart machines,
03:26and the team has a new owner in Gibson Motorsports commercial manager Gary Dumbrell.
03:31Success in the Shell sprint rounds is top priority in 2000.
03:35When you analyse the results of 1999,
03:37they weren't really that great during the sprint races.
03:39We've been working on that over the break,
03:40and during the year 2000,
03:42we've got to make sure our sprint races are as competitive as everyone else during the year.
03:47Reigning Shell series champion Holden Racing Team
03:50will have Ford drivers seeing red with its new corporate look.
03:53Major backer Mobil remains,
03:55but the factory cars of Craig Lowndes and Mark Scaife
03:57are now predominantly Holden Red.
04:00For rival Ford teams, it's like waving a red flag at a bull.
04:03Well, I mean, we've changed livery, obviously,
04:05but it's been evolution rather than revolution.
04:07The testing's gone really well.
04:09We can't wait to get back into it.
04:10Perkins Engineering has also had a facelift.
04:13The latest VT Commodores are the strongest chassis ever produced by the team.
04:18Combined with sharp new Castrol wall paint,
04:20Larry Perkins and Russell Engel will be hungry to claim
04:22that elusive first Shell series crown.
04:26Ford fans will be hoping for big things from Henry's hot shoes.
04:29At Dick Johnson Racing,
04:31rapid Kiwi Paul Radisic will be joined by Stephen Johnson,
04:34who takes over the famous number 17 Falcon following his father's retirement.
04:38Big shoes to fill,
04:40but Junior denies he's under any added pressure.
04:43I've done five Bathursts now,
04:44and there's no pressure at Bathurst,
04:46there's no pressure anywhere else,
04:47so I'll just continue doing what I'm doing,
04:49and if it's good enough to win at the end,
04:51well, so be it.
04:52Jason Bright's decision to race Indy Lights in the US
04:55has opened the door for Kiwi Craig Baird
04:57at Stone Brothers Racing.
04:59Baird's Pertec Falcon will share garage space
05:01with a new Caltex Ford,
05:03driven by hard-charging Queenslander Tony Longhurst.
05:06Baird is fast and experienced,
05:08but as fellow countryman Paul Radisic discovered last year,
05:11he faces a steep learning curve.
05:13There's a few tracks I've got to learn and get a set-up on,
05:17but we've got a good base with a variety of set-ups from last year,
05:20so I don't see too many problems.
05:24BMW's super-touring champion Paul Morris
05:26is another driver facing a tough season.
05:28The young Queenslander returns to a regular Shell Series drive
05:32for the first time since competing in a Coke Commodore back in 1994.
05:36With his new two-car Commodore team,
05:38Morris is approaching 2000 very much as a learning year.
05:42Now the teams really have a big head start
05:44because of the testing restrictions,
05:46so it's going to be a learning year,
05:47and we just have to finish every race we can
05:49and get as much information as we can.
05:52Audi's super-touring champ Brad Jones
05:54also makes his long-awaited Shell Series debut
05:57at the wheel of an ex-Tony Longhurst Falcon.
06:00The BJR-prepared Aussie male machine could spring a surprise
06:03in the Albury-based team's first year of V8 competition.
06:07I think that being our first year is going to be very tough.
06:11It's the best the series has ever been.
06:13There's only tens of seconds between the front competitors,
06:15but at the end of the day,
06:16I like to think that we can run in the top ten.
06:19Last year's privateer champion Cameron McLean
06:22is eager to take the next step up the ladder.
06:24The ambitious Queenslander has replaced his older EL Falcon
06:27with an ex-Paul Wheel AU
06:29and, after an impressive debut season,
06:32has the big names of the sport firmly in his sights.
06:35HRT and Dixicars are good at the end of the year,
06:37and Stones, you know, they're obviously the goal,
06:40and if we can get up there and mix it with them,
06:41we'll be happy.
06:41We should also make welcome young gun Cameron McConville,
06:46who'll be lining up in the Autopro Commodore this year,
06:49and Stephen Ellery, who did a great job
06:50with Paul Ranisich at Mount Panorama.
06:52He lines up in the super-cheap Autos Falcon.
06:54Well, in qualifying, the defending champion came out blazing
06:57on pole position in the Holden Racing Team Commodore.
07:00The 22-year-old Garth Tander lines up alongside him.
07:03Mark Scaife and Larry Perkins make up the second row of the grid.
07:06Great debut from Tony Longhurst in the Caltechs Falcon,
07:09fifth fastest.
07:10And we go back to Jason Barguana.
07:11Great to see him inside the top ten.
07:13And Glenn Seaton rounds out the ten.
07:14In fact, a happy hunting ground the Islanders have been for him
07:17in the past, and he's hoping to enjoy a win here this weekend.
07:20But right now, Mark Osler is with our pole sitter.
07:24If anyone thought Craig Lowndes might be lacking motivation
07:27after taking three Shell Championship wins,
07:29they'd be very much mistaken.
07:31At Phillip Island, he's not only qualified on pole position,
07:33but he's also set a new qualifying record.
07:36Boy, where's the speed come from?
07:37Well, the guys have done a great job with the cars this year,
07:39and they are the existing cars we had from last year.
07:42This is our test circuit, so we expect it to go well.
07:44Obviously, we've gone beyond our expectations,
07:47obviously gone the best we've ever been down here as well.
07:49So in that respect, we're very, very happy.
07:52But obviously, the racing is to come.
07:54And at the moment, we're just sitting in a comfortable groove,
07:56and hopefully, fingers crossed,
07:59that we can have a great year again.
08:00Now, two 45-minute races.
08:02What sort of tactics does this throw up?
08:03It's a totally new ball game, isn't it?
08:05Well, it is.
08:06Something new for the team.
08:07I think it's fantastic.
08:08The team are part of it.
08:09It's like Bathurst or the 500.
08:11The guys get in there, they've got to do their thing.
08:13And really, it's going to be a team tactic.
08:15Wish you all the best.
08:16Thank you, Mark.
08:17Well, a pretty happy Craig Lounds there,
08:19and understandably so,
08:20making the best possible start for his attempt
08:22to win four championships from four championship starts.
08:25We're getting all fired up here at the island.
08:27Race 1 is coming your way right after the break.
08:29It's been a big, big accident.
08:49Yeah.
08:49There's been a number of cars involved in that dust.
08:52Oh, he's heading.
08:53Good to speak.
08:54There's going to be a big accident.
08:55Murphy, straight on.
08:58Wow.
08:59Well, as you can see there,
09:02the island is a place that can bite you.
09:04The Murph and Mark Larkham going off
09:06just a couple of years ago.
09:08But right now, we're getting set for all the action
09:10from Race 1.
09:11This is Phillip Island,
09:12a fast and flowing circuit,
09:14and one that's a real favourite amongst all the drivers.
09:164.45 kilometres in length.
09:18Craig Lounds, the current lap record holder,
09:20but that could all change here this weekend.
09:22But to show you the inside line around the island,
09:24in fact, the forward inside line,
09:26here's our own Neil Crompton.
09:27Thanks, Craig.
09:29And by the way, welcome aboard.
09:31Thanks for joining us this year.
09:32And welcome aboard, everybody,
09:34to this Ford Tickford Racing,
09:36Ford Falcon Super Duper XR8.
09:39Now, the whole idea of the inside line segment this year
09:42is to give you something just a little bit different
09:44from on board the car,
09:45rather than walking and talking.
09:47But I have to apologise.
09:48First of all, I'm in Glen's car,
09:51so I've got to be very, very careful.
09:52But it's incredibly wet all of a sudden.
09:54I've got cold, wet weather tyres.
09:56So if I bend this thing,
09:57I'd better jump off the island.
09:59We're just heading down through Turn 2.
10:01This is, under normal circumstances,
10:04one of the most picturesque circuits
10:05on the Australian Racing Tour.
10:07It is just fantastic.
10:10Round here through Turn 3,
10:11normally taken in third gear,
10:13about 240km.
10:15Very dangerous.
10:16There's a big clomper of trees
10:17and an earthy bank over there.
10:19If you hit that,
10:19you'd know all about it.
10:20Very heavily off the brakes
10:22back to second gear
10:23for Turn 4,
10:24the Honda Hair Pit.
10:25Slowest corner on the track,
10:27about 70 odd k's.
10:28Then you give it a big foot
10:29out the other side,
10:31up to third gear,
10:32to a corner they call Siberia
10:35because it's so far from anywhere.
10:38Third gear, delicate on the throttle,
10:40use all the road on the exit here.
10:43Whoa!
10:44And you can see how slippery it is.
10:46Up to fourth gear,
10:47that was just getting on the paint
10:48on the exit.
10:49Up to fifth gear,
10:50flat through here
10:52and the car really dances
10:53on the way up
10:54to what we call the Hayshed.
10:55About 240 odd k's.
10:57Back to fourth gear
10:59over the top of Lukey Heights.
11:01Got no grip at all here
11:02at the moment.
11:05And then it's a bit of a blind brow.
11:07Hard on the brakes again
11:08back to second gear.
11:10It's a particularly slow corner,
11:12about the same as Turn 4.
11:13So this is now Turn 8,
11:15exiting Lukey Heights.
11:18Turn 9,
11:19a long, long left corner.
11:21Very hard to get the balance
11:22of a car just right
11:23for this corner.
11:25Up to fourth gear,
11:26different drivers
11:26have different techniques.
11:28I prefer to grab fifth
11:29just as I come onto the main straight.
11:31It's a fantastic corner
11:32and a brilliant track.
11:34You come on here
11:34at about 220 odd k's.
11:37Line yourself up
11:38for the big run
11:38down the straight.
11:40You grab sixth gear
11:40just underneath the bridge
11:42and at the bottom
11:42you're doing 270 odd
11:44kilometres an hour
11:45and after normal circumstances
11:47it's the world's
11:48most brilliant view.
11:49Today,
11:49it's a bit ordinary.
11:51So who knows
11:51what's going to happen
11:52in the next 45 minutes
11:53with this race.
11:54We'll keep our fingers crossed.
11:55Hope you enjoy it.
11:56Well,
11:58the weather conditions here
11:59can change
12:00in the blinking of an eye.
12:01That was filmed
12:01just a short time ago
12:02and as you can see
12:03it has cleared.
12:04Thankfully,
12:04Craig Lowndes
12:05on pole position
12:06for this one.
12:07The first of two
12:0845 minute races
12:09with a mandatory pit stop.
12:10Garth Kander
12:11lines up alongside him
12:12on the front row.
12:12Mark Scape
12:13and Larry Perkins
12:13on row two.
12:14Tony Longhurst
12:15and Russell Ingle
12:15and the Murph
12:16and Paul Radisic
12:17make up row four.
12:18Yeah,
12:18it's a good strong start
12:19from Tony Longhurst.
12:20Jason Barguana,
12:22Glenn Seaton
12:22alongside the second
12:23FTR Ford.
12:24John Bauer
12:25had some problems
12:25in qualifying.
12:26Puts him down
12:26the order a little bit.
12:27Rodney Forbes
12:28debuting in the
12:29Winds Commodore,
12:30the third car
12:30from the Gibson
12:31Motorsport Garage.
12:32That's a good effort.
12:32Stephen Johnson,
12:33he got held up
12:34at the beginning
12:34of qualifying too.
12:35He finds himself
12:36a little bit further
12:37down the order
12:37than he'd like to be.
12:39We go further back
12:40and look at
12:41Mark Larkin
12:41and Craig Baird
12:42row nine of the group.
12:43Paul Morris,
12:44Stephen Ellery,
12:44row 10.

12:48group position 21
12:49alongside Paul Wheeler
12:50and Brad Jones
12:51making his V8
12:51Supercar Championship
12:53debut alongside
12:54Thomas Mazira.
12:55Fantastic.
12:55See Thomas back
12:56in action
12:56after that big shot
12:57at Bathurst last year.
12:58Cameron McConville
12:59with the autopro machine.
13:00He's joining the V8 Circus.
13:02Cameron McLean
13:03lines up in a new
13:03AU Falcon.
13:04Steve Reid,
13:06Nick Donahue
13:06at the Sydney Privateer
13:07back in the
13:08ultra-tuned car.
13:09Mike Conway

13:11back of the pack
13:12for you.
13:12Danny Osborne

13:15Anthony Tratt,
13:15Peter Doolman
13:16and Trevor Ashby
13:17has had an engine change,
13:18had some problems
13:18during the course
13:19of qualifying.
13:20That's why he's got
13:20no time recorded
13:21but he's on the grid
13:22and ready
13:22for racing action
13:23here at Phillip Island.
13:27So all is in readiness
13:29for round one
13:30of the 2000 Championship.
13:32A G.
13:32We're excited about this.
13:33Oh, what an incredible
13:34kick-off to the season.
13:35They're going to
13:36have every angle covered.
13:38Cameras on board

13:40We'll start with
13:40Paul Radisic
13:41in the Shell Falcon.
13:44Double world

13:51robbed a victory
13:52with a flat tyre.
13:53We're also on board
13:54with Glenn Seaton

13:57on the grid
13:58that he would have liked.
13:59Finds himself
14:00right at the back
14:00of the top ten.
14:01This is a 45-minute race
14:03with a lot of tactics
14:04to unfold here.
14:04A compulsory tyre change
14:06must happen
14:07under green flag
14:08racing conditions.
14:09It's a big opportunity
14:10for the field
14:10to get mixed up.
14:11Mitre 10.
14:12You're riding
14:12with Mark Larkin
14:13in the Mitre 10
14:14AU XR8 Falcon.
14:16We can expect
14:16big things from him
14:17here this weekend
14:18after that sensational
14:19lap of Mount Panorama
14:20in qualifying.
14:22Larkin now has
14:23his own operation
14:24if you like.
14:24They've moved out
14:25of the Stone Brothers
14:26side of things
14:26and he is really
14:27pumped up for a big year.
14:29Mark Larkin

14:30This is Brad Jones
14:31as we said before
14:33making his V8

14:35debut in the
14:36Aussie male
14:36internet racing
14:37Ford Falcon.
14:39Yep.
14:39A little bit of a shock
14:40to the system
14:41wasn't it?
14:4123rd on the grid.
14:42It just shows
14:43how tough it is
14:44out there.
14:44Let's look out
14:44the front windscreen
14:45of the Aussie male
14:46Ford.
14:47Brad Jones
14:48came into the season
14:49hoping to be
14:50a top 10 prospect.
14:51Well,
14:52it's a very,
14:52very tough place
14:53to be.
14:54John Bauer.

14:57The Cat Falcon.
14:58He's back there

15:00What an ominous sight.
15:00Craig Lowndes.
15:02Three times
15:03Shell Series
15:04champion
15:04going for his fourth
15:05and what an
15:06incredible kickoff
15:07to the season,
15:08Greg.
15:08Opposition.
15:09Certainly is
15:09and what a view
15:10out of the front
15:11window there
15:11of the Mobile
15:12Holden Racing
15:13team,
15:13Commodore.

15:15making his
15:16fourth start
15:17to the Shell
15:18Championship Series
15:19and I guess
15:20getting the best
15:20possible start
15:21to his championship
15:22campaign.
15:22Well,
15:22absolutely.
15:23You can be
15:23in a better
15:24place.
15:24You know,
15:24the guys there
15:25most of them
15:25are warming up
15:26their tyres.
15:26Also,
15:27you heard them
15:27accelerating
15:28and putting the
15:28brake on.
15:29That's to get
15:29some temperature
15:30into the brakes
15:30because when you
15:31get through
15:32turn three here
15:33into Honda
15:34quarter,
15:34the last thing
15:35you want to
15:35ride there
15:36is cold,
15:36cold,
15:37no brakes,
15:37green flag.
15:39We're getting
15:39set for action
15:41here at the
15:41island.
15:41Listen to the
15:42revs rise.
15:44Who will get
15:44the jump?
15:45We're away!
15:46Tanda has made
15:48a blinder of a
15:49start.
15:49He's away.
15:50Larry Perkins
15:50away very
15:51smoothly as well.
15:52Looks like
15:52skateboarded out
15:53off to the
15:54side there.
15:54Bargwana getting
15:55all swallowed up
15:56and Garth Tanda
15:57leads the field
15:57down into
15:58do-and-turn
15:58for the first
15:59time.
15:59LP up to
16:00third,
16:00Ingle up to
16:01fourth.
16:01Oh,
16:01yeah,
16:01I thought
16:02there was
16:02going to be
16:02something nasty
16:03as Cameron
16:04Seaton
16:05stalled it
16:05for the looks
16:06of it,
16:06so I thought
16:06Cameron
16:07McLean
16:07on the grass
16:08there,
16:08that looked
16:09pretty nasty.
16:10Oh,
16:10he's off to
16:10a terrible start.
16:11Look at the
16:12number of
16:12holds.
16:13Oh,
16:13looks like
16:13Tony Longhurst.
16:15Might have
16:15been going
16:15off into
16:17the scenery
16:17there.
16:17He managed
16:18to gather
16:18it up,
16:18bring it
16:19back onto
16:19the black
16:19stop.
16:20So a rough
16:21start.
16:22Tony Longhurst
16:23and the
16:24new Caltex
16:25Heavillain
16:25board as
16:26they come
16:26down toward
16:26Honda
16:27corner for
16:27the first
16:27time.
16:28Garth Tanda.
16:28Perkins
16:29and Ingle
16:30together there.
16:31Well,
16:31there's a
16:31fantastic
16:31start from
16:32Larry Perkins.
16:33Oh,
16:33look at
16:34this.
16:34Oh,
16:35that's

16:40Did he
16:42the problem
16:42you see
16:42you arrived
16:43there's
16:43when I said
16:44about heating
16:44the brakes
16:45up.
16:45If you
16:45happen not
16:46to heat
16:46the brakes
16:47up,
16:47you get
16:47on them
16:48there and
16:48all of a
16:48sudden they
16:49just don't
16:49bite at
16:50all.
16:51Got to be
16:51a little bit
16:51careful there.
16:52You're going
16:52to wipe
16:52the front
16:53spoiler off.
16:54Bang.
16:54Maybe not.
16:56Yeah,

31:43well
31:43there's
31:44been a
31:44major
31:44reorganisation
31:45of this factory
31:46team
31:46Seaton
31:47instead of
31:47carrying all
31:48the load
31:48as it is
31:49the team
31:49over the
31:49last few
31:50years
31:50what a
31:51new man
31:51in
31:52John
31:52Matthews
31:52he's taken
31:53over all
31:53the responsibilities
31:54of the
31:54four-team
31:55Seaton
31:55now
31:55concentrated
31:56and he's
31:58concentrating
31:59hard here
32:00good driving
32:01by Faulkner
32:01yeah you'd have
32:02to say that
32:03Glen Seaton
32:03had such a
32:04heavy workload
32:05he was basically
32:06doing everything
32:07and you know
32:09it was too much
32:10to think of
32:10the competition
32:11in the V8
32:12now you can't
32:13afford to be
32:13team manager
32:14engineer
32:15and
32:15all the
32:17team owner
32:18drivers have
32:18discovered that
32:19over the last
32:19year
32:19let's have a look
32:20at this challenge
32:20down the inside
32:21he gets a lot
32:21of Seaton
32:22down the insides
32:24he's flying
32:25in this AUXR84
32:27and that moves
32:27him up to
32:28fifth position
32:28so it's
32:29Bounds
32:29Crompton
32:30Rodney Forbes
32:31a great run
32:32in the Winds
32:32Commodore
32:32run out of the
32:33Gibson Motorsports
32:34table
32:34he hasn't been
32:35in for his
32:35tyre change
32:36yet but he's
32:36up there
32:36in third
32:37Radisic
32:37fourth
32:37Faulkner
32:38just been
32:40displaced by
32:41Seaton
32:41for fifth
32:41and he moves
32:42back to sixth
32:42and Paul
32:43Morris
32:43there he is
32:44and big
32:45Kev's
32:46Commodore
32:46there's still
32:47a few tyre
32:48changes to
32:48happen here
32:49so really
32:49got to turn
32:50over once
32:51these leading
32:51cars also
32:52come in
32:52for their
32:52compulsory
32:53stops
32:53lap 17
32:55he spoke
32:56to Ford
32:57racing
32:57manager
32:58John
32:58Matthews
32:59the other
32:59day
33:00who's
33:00taking
33:00over
33:01control
33:01of
33:01this
33:01team
33:02and he
33:02said
33:02Glenn
33:03has really
33:03managed to
33:03let go
33:04of his
33:05management
33:05responsibilities
33:06John's
33:06taking over
33:07running
33:07things
33:07and Glenn
33:08is really
33:08just
33:09concentrating
33:09on his
33:10driving
33:10so there's
33:11Seaton
33:1224 starts
33:14in the
33:14championship
33:14they're really
33:15doing well
33:15here at the
33:15moment
33:16yeah it'd be so
33:17nice for Seaton
33:17to get a good
33:18result today
33:18because you know
33:19he was really
33:20suffering from
33:21the pressure
33:21of load
33:22last year
33:23with all the
33:23work
33:24that's great
33:24there's Lowndes
33:25and
33:26for Seaton
33:27to get a good
33:28result today
33:28I think it's
33:29going to make
33:29a big difference
33:30for him
33:31now can you
33:31believe this
33:32Rodney Forbes
33:32has yet to do
33:33his pit stop
33:33but he leads
33:34I think his
33:35first ever
33:36Shell
33:36championship
33:37series racer
33:37Rodney Forbes
33:38is your leader
33:38from Paul Radicep
33:39so those two
33:40guys yet to pit
33:41this was your
33:42early race leader
33:43Craig Lowndes
33:44out of the pits
33:45now that's a fairly
33:46decent sort of
33:46stop as well
33:47watch this
33:48Garth Tander
33:48just flashed
33:49so Tander
33:50he was the first
33:52to make a tyre stop
33:53so there he is
33:55Car 34
33:56he's just in front
33:57of the Lounge
33:57so this is the
33:58battle to the end
33:59it's so funny
34:01it all falls to
34:03pieces when people
34:03do pit stops
34:04and as the thing
34:05progresses
34:06gets on
34:07they've all done
34:07their pit stops
34:08then you'll see
34:09the leader list
34:10is almost identical
34:11I'm just watching
34:11the overlap
34:12I think Tander
34:12by the time these
34:13guys have all
34:14finished their pit stops
34:15Tander will go back
34:16into the lead
34:16Scaife
34:17will be second
34:18Tander knows
34:20the pressure's on
34:20too
34:20he's switched the
34:21line so he knows
34:22that Lounge is not
34:22too far away
34:23Boggs is just in
34:24front of him
34:24yep
34:25this is Garth Tander
34:26Boggs is bound
34:27to get out of the
34:27way and let him
34:28pass
34:28so goodness me
34:32Rodney Forbes
34:33leading things at
34:34the moment
34:34from Radisic
34:35and Seaton
34:36Boggwana's right
34:37down the order
34:37after all those
34:38dramas early on
34:39the broken
34:39squatter
34:40he's back in
34:4035th position
34:41so he is in
34:43no contest here
34:45and Neil Crompton
34:46I think has also
34:46been into the pits
34:47so he's now
34:50dropped back to
34:509th place
34:51he's doing very
34:52well early on
34:53but in actual
34:53fact
34:54the way for this
34:55overlap to come
34:56through I think
34:56you'll find it
34:56will be Tander
34:57Scaife
34:57Crompton
34:58and Engel
34:58all those guys
35:00have made their
35:00tyre stops
35:01Rodney Forbes
35:02is now leading
35:03the race
35:03in the Winds
35:03Commodore
35:04but he is yet
35:05to make his
35:06compulsory tyre
35:06stop as well
35:07it's changing
35:07so dramatically
35:08very hard to
35:09keep up with it
35:09we're watching
35:09the timing monitor
35:10flip over
35:11as these guys
35:12get back into
35:12their rightful
35:13positions
35:13after their
35:14compulsory stops
35:15yeah you see
35:15with Craig
35:17it looks like
35:18he's dropping
35:18back a bit
35:19from Tander
35:19that's only
35:20because basically
35:21he's trying to
35:21get some
35:21temperature
35:22into the tyres
35:23I would imagine
35:23they've put
35:24new tyres on
35:25it
35:25or changed
35:27the wheels
35:27or whatever
35:28you know
35:28they've had to
35:29have the
35:29wheels off
35:30so
35:30we have to
35:33keep an eye
35:33on this timing
35:34too
35:3429 minutes
35:34almost 30
35:35minutes
35:35completed
35:36keep in mind
35:36they have to
35:37make their
35:37compulsory tyre
35:38stop before
35:3934 minutes
35:40of this 45
35:41minute race
35:41is completed
35:42that's because
35:4234 minutes
35:44is three
35:44quarters
35:44race distance
35:45if they have
35:46to stop
35:46the race
35:47the winner
35:48has to be
35:48declared
35:48having made
35:49his stop
35:49well for our
35:50viewers
35:50here in Australia
35:51round 2
35:51of the Shell
35:52Championship Series
35:53around about
35:53mid-March
35:54Barbagallo Raceway
35:55in Western Australia
35:56looking forward
35:57to that one
35:58immensely
35:58and of course
36:00the V8 Lights
36:01they've got their
36:01own series this year
36:02for the privateers
36:03five rounds
36:04and the first
36:04of them
36:04kicks off
36:05at Eastern Creek
36:06the 25th
36:06and 26th
36:07of March
36:07and you of course
36:08can catch all the
36:09action right here
36:09on your home
36:10of Motorsport
36:11now Russell
36:11Ingalls' car
36:12is in the pits
36:13now
36:14looks like a
36:15lengthy stop
36:16in
36:16he's already
36:17been
36:17through his tyre
36:18change
36:18so that's a
36:19second stop
36:19I think
36:19for Ingalls
36:20so that is
36:21something
36:21that's definitely
36:22gone wrong there
36:23for the SLX Commodore
36:24he exits the pits
36:25around about
36:25four minutes
36:26left to go
36:26in terms of
36:28the pit stop
36:28window
36:29that pit stop
36:29window closes
36:30at 34 minutes
36:31race distance
36:32I think
36:32I think Rodney
36:32Forbes
36:33is making
36:33the most
36:34of this
36:34look
36:34oh yeah
36:35there's four
36:35guys
36:36Rodney
36:37Forbes
36:37Paul
36:37Radisic
36:38Glen Seaton
36:39and Dougal
36:39McDougal
36:40are the four
36:40cars leading
36:41this race
36:41at the moment
36:42but they
36:42have to yet
36:42make their
36:43stops
36:44so
36:45effectively
36:46the race
36:46lead at the
36:47moment
36:47is Tander
36:47Mounds
36:48Scaife
36:49Crompton
36:49we are on
36:52lap 20
36:53at the moment
36:54and things
36:54are changing
36:55in the blinking
36:55of an eye
36:55here
36:55that is Paul
36:56Radisic
36:56the rat
36:57is in the pits
36:57ok this is
36:58his compulsory
36:59tyre stop
36:59he's left
36:59until pretty late
37:0019 laps
37:01completed
37:02so all sorts
37:02of tactics
37:03unfolding here
37:04you can see
37:05it's a very
37:06slow job
37:06changing wheels
37:07when you've
37:07only allowed
37:07four guys
37:08to work
37:08on the car
37:09look at the
37:09score at the
37:10moment
37:11Forbes

37:12but then it's
37:13Tander and
37:13Lowndes
37:14third and fourth
37:14so this is
37:15really going to
37:15change
37:15well Tander's
37:16effectively
37:16your race
37:17leader
37:17because Forbes
37:18is Seaton

37:31who's sprinted
37:31away from
37:32the start
37:32Lowndes
37:33and Scaife
37:35Crompton
37:36here building
37:37up behind

37:39between
37:39Tander
37:39and Lowndes
37:40is just
37:40three seconds
37:41so this is
37:42going to be
37:42a very
37:42interesting
37:43battle
37:43to work
37:44towards
37:44the finish
37:45this is
37:45the double
37:45world champion

37:51or a tough
37:51introduction
37:52to V8
37:53supercar racing
37:53here last year
37:54but he wants
37:54to make amends
37:55for that
37:55in season
37:562000
37:57and doing a
37:57great job

37:59we'll check
38:01out your
38:01race score
38:02for you
38:02at the
38:02moment
38:03Rodney
38:05Forbes

38:05things from
38:06Glenn Seaton
38:07Garth Tander
38:08effectively
38:08your race

38:09because he
38:10has completed
38:10his pit stop
38:11and so too
38:11has Garth Tander
38:12running one
38:13and two
38:13Forbes
38:13and Seaton
38:14they are yet
38:14to pit
38:15Neil Crompton
38:15a terrific job
38:16in 6th place
38:17for Radisic
38:177th
38:18a foul
38:18in 8th
38:19right after
38:23this
38:23welcome back
38:30to Phillip Island
38:31Garth Tander
38:32under siege
38:32from Craig
38:33Lowndes
38:33look how close
38:34Lowndes is
38:35right now
38:35they're heading
38:36into the
38:36southern loop
38:37and Lowndes
38:37is all over
38:38the back
38:38of the 22
38:38year old
38:39this is close
38:39oh there's a bit of
38:40touching going on
38:41here
38:41Lowndes has got him
38:44Lowndes has got him
38:46so that puts
38:46Tander back to
38:47second place
38:47he's out wide
38:47there
38:48I don't think
38:48he's going to
38:48be close enough
38:49no
38:49he's perfect
38:50he's in the right
38:51position now
38:52Lowndes has been
38:52charging
38:53but we saw
38:53just a couple
38:54of laps ago
38:55just in the break
38:57it looked like
38:57Tander
38:57oh my god
38:59that's a big crash
39:00in fact
39:00that's almost
39:01not quite a rollover
39:03but he's gone
39:04heavily into the
39:05bank
39:05front and back
39:07that is the car
39:07they call Elvis
39:08he's had more hits
39:09oh look at the
39:10back end of that
39:11thing
39:11he's had so many
39:12hits that car
39:13it's a very very
39:13old car
39:14it's one of Dick
39:15Johnson's original
39:15EB Falcons
39:17near the hay shed
39:18there
39:18I tell you what
39:20I wouldn't be
39:21too surprised
39:22if they get a
39:23pace car around
39:24or something
39:24because that's
39:25he's in a really
39:25dangerous position
39:26there
39:26poor old Mike
39:27Conway
39:27he's taken
39:29a bit of a hit
39:30maybe he's ok
39:31looks like he's alright
39:32that looks like
39:33a big crash
39:34that's really
39:35knocked the wind
39:36out of it
39:37hasn't it
39:37well it's a high
39:38speed circuit
39:39and whenever you
39:40come to grief
39:40here
39:41it usually hurts
39:42because you're
39:42hitting harder
39:42let's have a look
39:43on the replay
39:44Baz
39:44oh look at that
39:45he's just
39:46whoa
39:46look at that
39:48goodness
39:48that was a massive
39:50it's very very
39:51quick through there
39:52yeah that's up
39:52toward the hay shed
39:53and up toward
39:54Lukey Heights
39:54he's actually the
39:55place where John
39:56Bauer came up
39:56yeah just
39:57you change direction
39:58to sort of
39:59you come around
40:00the right hand
40:00and then flick it
40:01left to go up
40:01over Lukey Heights
40:02and you're
40:03really right on it
40:05and you get on the
40:05brakes
40:06yeah I don't blame it
40:07I don't know how many
40:08more excellence
40:09that car can have
40:09it's been re-skinned
40:10and rebuilt so many
40:11more times
40:12it's just Tander
40:13and Bogwana
40:14Bogwana
40:14Bogwana is down
40:15in the order
40:16Tander's in second
40:18position
40:19I was going to say
40:20before we went to
40:21that Conway crash
40:22we saw in the break
40:23that Tander was
40:24having a bit of
40:25trouble
40:25he seemed to be
40:25having a bit of a
40:26trouble with his
40:26braking
40:27he locked up
40:28almost went off
40:29the track
40:30I don't know
40:31whether he's
40:31battling with
40:31some sort of
40:32mechanical mayhem
40:33but whatever the
40:33result is
40:34he's back in
40:35second position
40:36there's Mike
40:36Conway
40:37he looks okay
40:37understandably
40:39dejected
40:40that car has
40:40suffered a lot
40:41of damage
40:42incidentally
40:43while we were
40:43talking about
40:44Bogwana
40:44that thing
40:45at the beginning
40:45of it
40:46apparently
40:46Jason got
40:47touched out
40:49the back
40:49before he went
40:50into Romano
40:51so it's the
40:53usual state of
40:53affairs
40:54now what we
40:54should do
40:54is confirm
40:55for you
40:55that everybody
40:56has completed
40:57their mandatory
40:58pit stop
40:58now we'll run
40:59through the
40:59positions for you
40:59you can see
41:00them on screen
41:00they're Radisic
41:015th
41:01Seton 6th
41:02Rodney Forbes
41:03a fantastic job
41:04in 7th place
41:05Craig Lowndes
41:06right now
41:06is your leader
41:07as you know
41:07it's just ahead
41:08of Garth
41:09Tanner
41:09Mark Scave
41:10sits in 3rd place
41:10Neil Crompton
41:11doing a sensational
41:12job in 4th
41:13Craig Baird
41:16coming on board
41:17the
41:17Kertec Falcon
41:18team
41:18with Stone
41:19Brothers Racing
41:19replacing Jason
41:21Bright
41:21who's still
41:23trying to
41:23secure a drive
41:24in Indy Lights
41:25in the United
41:26States
41:26hopefully that'll
41:27come together
41:28for him
41:28Craig Baird
41:30takes over
41:30the chair
41:30and he's doing
41:31a great job
41:31on debut
41:32Baird
41:32doesn't know
41:33a lot of
41:33the Australian
41:34circuits
41:35finds himself
41:36in much the
41:36same situation
41:37as Paul Radisic
41:37was last year
41:38but at least
41:38he has
41:39the data
41:40from Bright's
41:41driving last year
41:42which he can
41:42use as a platform
41:44I tell you what
41:44you can't say
41:45he's easy to get
41:46past
41:46no you can't
41:47so this is the
41:50battle I think
41:51you'll find
41:51between Mark
41:52Scaife
41:52and Neil
41:52Crompton
41:53third and
41:54fourth place
41:54and Crompton
41:55is all over
41:56the back
41:56of Scaife
41:56and closing
41:57under brakes
41:57there
41:58Crompton's
41:58driving superbly
41:59yeah this is the
42:00strongest performing
42:01forward in the field
42:02and the strongest
42:03performance I've seen
42:03to Neil Crompton
42:04in a long time
42:05he's right on the
42:07back of the
42:07Holden Racing
42:08team car
42:08this is the two
42:09factory teams
42:10going head to head
42:11this is what the
42:12fans want to see
42:12Neil's more
42:13aggressive today
42:14than I've seen him
42:15for a long time
42:16Neil has to be one
42:18of the unluckiest
42:19drivers of it
42:20I know we say that
42:20a lot but like
42:21yesterday practice
42:22was a classic example
42:23he was all ready to
42:24go out on the track
42:25he came in after one
42:26lap with a split
42:27cooler in the engine
42:28it wasn't because
42:30he hit anything
42:30it wasn't because
42:31he did anything wrong
42:32the thing just split
42:32the boys had to
42:33take it out
42:34replace it
42:35re-pump the system
42:36he was in there
42:36for like 20-25 minutes
42:37he lost all that
42:38track time
42:39that is a classic
42:39Crompton turn of fate
42:41I'll tell you what
42:42it's going to be
42:42interesting to see
42:43if Crompton gets
42:44past Scaife
42:45because Scaife is
42:45pretty good at
42:46making it wide
42:47isn't he
42:48yeah
42:4843
42:49look at this
42:50yeah look at that
42:50about a minute and a half
42:51remaining on this
42:52timed race
42:53Mark Scaife at the
42:55moment
42:55in third place
42:56from Neil Crompton
42:57Craig Lowndes
42:58if you've just joined
42:59us
42:59he's the leader
42:59in this one
43:00the defending champion
43:01leads the way
43:01from young guard
43:02stand up
43:03but look at
43:03Crompton
43:04looking for an
43:05opportunity to try
43:06and get past
43:06Mark Scaife
43:07this could well be
43:08the last lap
43:09to lap 28
43:10and forecasted
43:11it to be about
43:1128 laps
43:12you watch Scaife
43:13you go into
43:14Honda
43:14which is the
43:15area where you go
43:16around this left
43:17hander
43:17long long long
43:18left hander
43:19and into the next
43:20fast left hander
43:21then watch Scaife
43:22right in the middle
43:23of the road
43:23going into Honda
43:24there's Craig Lowndes
43:25and the gap back
43:26to Garb Tanner
43:27there is the battle
43:28we're watching
43:28in third place
43:29this is basically
43:30the only place
43:31defensive for Scaife
43:32very defensive
43:34Crompton trying to
43:35look for other
43:36options on the exit
43:37it's been a long
43:38long time since
43:39you've seen Neil
43:40Crompton on the podium
43:40in the Shell
43:41series round
43:42many many years
43:44it's been a tough
43:45old career
43:46for Crompton
43:46looks like the
43:47officials have got
43:48the chequered flag
43:48ready
43:49we're just trying to
43:50confirm whether it is
43:50the last lap
43:51it looks as though
43:51it probably is
43:52so Lowndes
43:53Pretender
43:54Scaife
43:55and Crompton
43:55fantastic battle
43:57here as they come up
43:58toward Lugie Heights
43:59for the final time
44:00past the Hayshed
44:01where Mike Conway
44:02just had that
44:03monstrous accident
44:04up over the Lugie Heights
44:05opportunities fast
44:06running out
44:07for Neil Crompton
44:08if he's going to try
44:08and do something
44:09to get on the podium
44:10here he's going to
44:10have to make it fast
44:11but I think
44:11he's out of options
44:12no there's no chance
44:13and Scaife
44:15he's got the horsepower
44:16up to the line
44:16so there's
44:17looks like another
44:18another
44:19another
44:19another
44:19another
44:20checkered flag
44:22at the ready
44:22Holden takes
44:23first blood
44:24in season 2000

44:27Garstander will get
44:29home second
44:29Mark Scaife
44:30will get home third
44:31and Neil Crompton
44:32gets home in fourth place
44:33there they are
44:34flashing across the strike
44:35now Crompton
44:35just behind Scaife
44:37well Crompton's going to
44:38be happy that he's
44:39the first forward man
44:40I don't think
44:40there's no doubt about that
44:41that was an outstanding
44:42performance
44:42because he lost a bit
44:43of track time
44:44Paul Radisson
44:44and just getting there
44:46ahead of Seaton
44:47fifth and sixth places
44:48respectively

44:54Larcombe looking for
44:55eighth
44:55and there he goes
44:57across the line now
44:57but Craig Lowndes
44:58a deserving winner
44:59here
45:00at Phillip Island
45:01put the car on
45:03pole position

45:06way for him to start

45:13that people could
