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

The third drag race, where Craig Lowndes finally gets the car moving smoothly off the line.
Good on Team Vodafone for letting these 2 awesome V8 supercars come down to the drags and fry some clutches!
Sorry for the poor quality video, the letterboxing was done by my DVD camera

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

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.

@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)

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

[cubed213]

[Gazzz87]

@sloties888 your spelling makes you look like a retard.

[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"

[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.

[88Lowndes]

Lowndes is best driver in V8

@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]
