What a weekend!!!
The Hamilton 400 was a great success, with over 170,000 people swarming in to get a glimpse of the zooming cars.
As Russell Ingall predicted it was a crash fest proving a challenge for all drivers.
I got really annoyed of how many restarts there were!
Jamie Whincup was knocked out early due to a tap on the rear by Todd Kelly.
The Holden Hairpin (Turn 2) turned out to be the crash area with a few cars bundling out.
The dreaded chicane on the back straight claimed a few drivers.
Greg Murphy hit the tyre to later on destroy his steering to vanish his hopes of winning.
As the drama unfolded 1 man took the spotlight. Yes Garth Tander winning all three races to take out the Hamilton 400 and to win the Mark Porter Memorial Trophy. Mark Porter was a Hamilton Driver who died 2 years ago in the Bathurst 1000.
The best performing Kiwi was Fabian Coulthard who was fifth over all.
So Holden's Rule the streets of Hamilton for the first time. Can Ford's snatch that away next year. We'll just have to wait.
So a grand success for Hamilton.
How did you think it turned out?
If you have an opinion post a comment.
Go Holden!!!
P.S The Chiefs beat the Crusaders!!!!
Go Cheifs
