The 2010 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 was one of the most exciting I’ve ever seen. From Coulthard’s unbelievable walk-away roll on lap one, right down to lap 161 with team Vodafone warriors Lowndes/Skaife and Whincup/Owen battling for the chequered flag. Holden completely dominated the podium and with over 180,000 people attending, there’s no doubt in my mind that this remains the flagship round of the V8 Supercar Championship series.

With only 4 rounds remaining it really is a 4 man race with Courtney, Whincup, Lowndes and Frosty fighting for the title of V8 Supercar Champion. Of course anything can happen in the world of V8 Supercars, but with Frosty nailing the Gold Coast in 2009, there’s no reason to think he won’t be up the top of the tree again entering the Grand Finale, the Telstra Sydney 500.  That said, Lowndes and Whincup love the Sandown track and will be looking to emulate their 2009 form there. All I can say is I feel for James Courtney, his bumper is in everyones sights coming down to the wire. Go Holden!

What a venue – right on the beach with superb views over the water and with the function commencing at 6.30pm there was a brilliant sunset with the entire waterscape lit up with a spectacular sunset. The function went really smoothly and we had about 90 clients in attendance. And did we feed them! There was an absolute ridiculous amount of food served, which the clients loved – certainly better than not enough! And of course, the beers flowed regularly.
