Craig Lowndes vs Jamie Whincup Drag Race Final (Winternationals 09)

[cubed213]

all about the hole shot

[88Lowndes]

Lowndes is best driver in V8

[Gummby69]

@dandamansrandomvids and to add on too that u will find the cars where set up for maximum rear traction. super soft rear so in that spec ud have armfulls of understeer not very good around a race track.

[MrToiletclogger]

glad they moved to holden :D

[aznjoworldtour]

10.3 thats quicker then i expected...

[Mob01971]

Well done Craig

[utubenz576]

the ford looks way more fleshy in the vodafone design

[Nickispunknoodle]

@dandamansrandomvids V8 Supercar teams change their gear ratios to suit each track, so it may not neccessarily have been geared as if they were at Bathurst (where it would be geared for 300 kph)

[DODODOK]

id love to see winterbottom in this.. he always launches well in the races

[chubbinator09]

i was sure whincup would win. by watching the v8s all the time i noticed that lowndes quite often has a bad start compared to others.

[XxLinkinPark10111xX]

GOOOOOOOOOOO FORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[21Wook75]

Who got the 10.86 @ 134.05mph (215.7kph)

and 10.81 @ 134.97mph (217.2kph)!

In the back of a Modern Motor magazine that I have, it stated that a 2006 orcon V8 supercar did standing 400m in 11.4 @215kph, so why is 2009 car at least half second quicker than 2006 car?

[CtnQwark]

Whincup is closest to the screen - assuming he's driving his own car #1

[AlfyLanger20]

reaction times... wheel spin... clutch slip... lots of factors

[AndrewEG]

running sequential shift gearboxes

[bazilisginger]

@21Wook75 its called technology mate, things advance!!! get over it, a 2012 car is going to be faster than a 2009 car mate!!!

[thetoe017]

they moved on from the bf so well because they had assistance from the stone brothers and djr. they didn't do it all themselves you know?? they're gonna be screwed next year. won't win a race. the guards on the ve are nothing but MASSIVE air brakes like you'd have on a fighter jet!! only, the commodore doesn't go fast enough to warrant them!!!

[19escort73]

DJR didn't help 888 with the BF it was the other way around. SBR did provide 888 with their engines from 2005-2008, but 888 did all their own engineering. In 2007 DJR sent both their BF's to 888 to have improvements made to the chassis. The DJR FG's this year as well as the PCR Wilcon Security car are all built by 888.

[ejwagon]

Won't win a race, eh?

[luicoco1458]

manford are gonna be gonners by the time their gone. ill stick with teamvodafone

[chaballs]

Ubercool!!

[hrt75]

you say that like you know Lowndes I say he is happy cause he won much more in a holden ?

[yonda9]

yea now they are both moving to Holden, whilst G,M are going out the window Holden are just using there money to take two brilliant drivers who have sparked and done so well with there career in ford and making them drive commodores :( Lowndes still not thrilled to move cause he is aware of fords brilliants in the last 5-6 years in the v8 supercar series

[Nickispunknoodle]

Mate, it was going to happen ever since Ford removed them as a factory backed team. And Triple 8 race GM in the UK.

Personally I am a Holden man, but I can't stand those people who bag a car simply for its badge. These Falcons are quite simply brilliant cars, as are the Holdens. I say good luck to them. Im sure with the quality of the team they will have no problem transitioning to the new car - just look how they performed when moving on from the BF, shows that they are an adaptable team.

[yonda9]

yeah i know the move was planed since the end of last season but still i am a ford man through and through and for years i watched Holden dominate the field and suddenly ford getting in some great 5-6 years and then this it has tipped the paddock. i mean imagine if tander and Davidson came to ford (which tander is talking about)

how would you fell, thats is how all the ford fans are taking this change, but yes i agree that team vodafone are an excellent team no matter ford or Holden!!

[sloties888]

i agree with every thing that you have said about being anoyed and even if they do go to holden you carnt bail on a team just cause oh the bodge on tyhe car so i say to every ford fan and 888 fan get behind lownds and win cup

[Gazzz87]

@sloties888 your spelling makes you look like a retard.

[anthony9five]

@yonda9 I dont want to start an argument but both of them were originally Holden drivers. They were picked up by Ford where Whincup has flourished but Lowndes I think went better at Holden.

[yonda9]

yeah well lowndes i think wont have to many good years left in him, Atm Van gisbergan is becoming a very good young driver, so ford do have somethings to look foward to but it is still the "holden v8 supercars"

[RIPGMH2009]

theres a 9sec pass in there keep trying ,

should be more of it

[vlfreak]

damn right there is.. a few tweaks and a different ratio i reckon theres a high 9 there no worries!

[NTFalconAu]

[ForteAUFalcon]

haha nice one

[staids]
