    There were hardly any mechanical retirements, which was more amazing given the low number of laps completed under the safety car. V8SC have been pushing for cost containment for a fair few years now. When you look back at all the big teams that had failures in the past, the 'stock' components that are used across the teams look to have resulted in more reliable cars. On one hand, it's good to see the best engineered car being the fastest, but also the most fragile; on the other, it was frustrating to see the fast car lead or be thereabouts all day and then grind to a halt with a couple of laps to go. The days of winning by 6 laps are over, which isn't a bad thing for the fans.

    I'm amazed that Bathurst finishes with about half a second between 1st and 2nd positions after 1000km of racing. It's great to see tight racing for 6 hours Click here to enlarge
