V8 Supercar 1000 – Mt. Panorama Bathurst – 2001 Highlights
The 2001 race was truly a survival of the fittest, where 18 of the 39-strong field retired – some of the most fancied runners victim of the four-season elements, like Lowndes and Perkins coming to grief in wet conditions. Both Lowndes and Perkins returned to the race, finishing 17th and eighth respectively.
The race saw 10 different leaders and no less than 25 lead changes. It was also the race that almost delivered the upset of the century: The OzEmail team had a shocking time in qualifying, with the ill-handling Brad Jones/John Cleland Falcon starting a lowly 22nd. But the crew made a raft of changes to the car overnight – and it worked. A charging Cleland came home in second place less than three seconds adrift of Skaife.
