Skaife Overall Clipsal 500 winner

Well - the more things change, the more they stay the same. Skaife drove excellently after getting the lead on the first corner, and they had a brilliant strategy for both races. And it also helps when Steven Richards plonks his machine in behind Skaifey - no one will ever pass Richo.

Unlucky for Ambrose - I must admit that I would have preferred him to be on the podium on Sunday rather than Tossell Bingall (Murph was screwed out of Race 2 ).

Looks set for a close series, and with the points the way they are (Skaife's lead is only 9 points over Steven Richards), the championship should be fairly open all year.

Did you watch the race ?
Richo kept getting over taken,especially on the hairpin by Bright & Ambrose.

Yeah if it wasnt for Richards, Ambrose would of overtaken Skaife and won the race!!! Look out for FPR they will soon dominate!

Yeah, but overall he gave Skaifey a jump on Ambrose at least, due to Richo holding him up. Once he got past Richo, Ambrose either pitted, or plonked the thing into the wall.
