    Yeah they were hanging on just. If there hadn't been that safety car they may have been able to hold them off. Once they all bunched up and restarted Kelly had no chance, once the first guy got past them they were out of position for the next corner so they lost another spot and then it was just a vicious cycle. The top ten cars had incredible speed at the end of 161 laps.

    must have been heartbreaking for the kelly brothers to see them all just flick past you with a few laps to go...

    hey my guess on the GRM crew seemed to be a pretty good one!

    Shame about that final safety car otherwise Ritter/Besnard might've had it!

    This is the second time now that Besnard has had bad luck whilst in first only for Tander to win, I remember the first time (back in 99?) when he was leading driving a havoline AU that glanced into a Lapped Car on the second last lap!

    Nah, Murph and Skaife would have taken the silverwear instead of Ritter and Besnard. SGR only had a scheduled 20 sec fuel stop where as all the others stopped for 25 at least. They would have come out almost 8 sec in front of Tander if they weren't caught behind the safety car for 6.2kms!

    I'm and Tander fan and i'm stoked that HRT came away with the Enduro quinella, but I feel bad for the SGR team.

    BTW, Tander's last win was in 2000 with Jason Bargwanna and until now, had never earned a Bathurst podium and had only finished a handful of the Great Races.
    Old Car 0-100km/h took a friggin long time
    New Car 0-100km/h takes only 5.9sec
