Adelaide 500
The Adeaide 500 was run on the weekend, and while I haven’t seen all of it yet (I’ve seen about half of Saturday’s race, and all of Sunday’s), I was very happy with what I saw. Marcos Ambrose picked up the win from Mark Skaife on Saturday, while Scaife won the Sunday race from Steven Richards and Russell Ingall in third.
Sunday’s race was very exciting with a lot of big overtaking moves at turn 4 (Wakefield St onto East Tce), and the Hairpin, and a good close run to the finish. Unfortunately Marcos Ambrose had some sort of equipment failure in the closing stages of Sunday’s race and couldn’t hold onto third, but it was good to see the other Stone Brothers car pick up the placing anyway.
Lets hope the Stone Brothers can keep it up, and give HRT a run for their money this season.
