Definately worthy of Lowndes to win. Couldnt have been a better person to have the trophy 1st. Was sick of the pacecar coming out so often tho, and couldnt believe Skaife didnt even get to the second turn
Very good last 7mins tho!

Great finish, didn't watch much though.

Sad news that Mark Porter just died in hospital from that crash the other day...RIP.

Its been a very mixed weekend, so much grieving for Peter, now marred by the death of Mark.

I shed a tear as Lowndes crossed the line, it meant so much to him for sure. Peter would be up there somewhere looking down and smiling right about now. So happy Skaife didnt win it.

great great race best for a few years imo.

Absolute Shame about Mark Porter, if only there was good news on both fronts.

RIP.

AWESOME to see Lowndes win. He really deserved it and stoked that he won! Also great to see Skaife crash out


RIP Mark Porter. Best wishes to his young family
