Bathurst Highlights 2006
$30.00
The 2006 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 was an event filled with raw emotion as well as sheer exhilaration. It came just a month after the shock death of Bathurst legend Peter Brock, and it ended in triumph for the man who had been mentored by Brock in his early career, Craig Lowndes.
It was Lowndes and Jamie Whincup who would be the first drivers raise the inaugural Peter Brock Trophy after a frantic late-race battle with Rick Kelly. The win was ultimately Ford’s first at Bathurst since 1998.
It was not to be for Holden, despite a highly promising leadup for the factory Holden team. Rarely has a combo started as a shorter-priced favourite than the HRT pairing of Mark Skaife and Garth Tander that year, but after a clutch failure at the start and a collision with Jack Perkins’ Commodore, Skaife and Tander were out of the race before they’d climbed the mountain for the first time.
Supercheap Auto Bathurst 2005 Highlights
With heated clashes on and off-track and an unforgettable 11-lap dash to the finish line, the 2005 Super Cheap Auto 1000 will go down in history as one of the great Australian sporting classics.
Relive the drama of lap 144 when a fiery clash erupted between Marcos Ambrose and Greg Murphy. It not only ended their own races but resulted in mass carnage and an angry face-off between the two great rivals.
The Mountain also tested the skills of Craig Lowndes after an errant wheel smashed his windscreen, and few will forget Ambrose’s controversial drive-through penalty for not wearing a balaclava.
This action packed compilation also celebrates the triumph of V8 Supercar racing’s most decorated driver, Mark Skaife, as he wins his fifth Bathurst title with team-mate Todd Kelly who, on his 26thbirthday, took home his maiden crown.
All these unforgettable moments and more are featured in this historic event in one of the toughest and most exciting races on the V8 Supercar calendar – the Super Cheap Auto 1000, Bathurst.
