Haha, Roland Dane: "Jamie cost us the race"! Gold.
Wow - I missed that quote!
In all seriousness though - it was one of the best races I've ever seen (I'm not saying that it was professional and world-class though, at time it looked a little amateurish!). Dad and I were talking about it all night. It had everything that Bathurst is famous for. Unpredictability, crashes, kangaroos, come backs (lots of them), underdogs, top drivers & cars wrecking or falling apart, track breakups, high-speed crashes in safety car periods, you name it - it was in that race.
And that is why The Mountain is so revered by fans and drivers alike.
We'll be talking about that one for years - just like the 1-2 Falcon finish in 1977; The Rock; the hailstorm finish; and races of that ilk.
