Ah, Tag and Marshall finished 12th. How many laps back, Julian?

5 or 6 I think. Tag had few excursions to see more of the countyside.

Well, at least he got to see the countryside during the ride.

Now, it's back to his day-job, as both he and Marshall head over to Surfers Paradise for the ChampCar race there in two weeks.

At least it will be warmer there.

Mfer, as you will be doing commentary on the Champcars, I reckon you might as well do the V8s too, and I can sit back with a cold beer and enjoy both

full results are now available on the official site.

Julian, I'll do the ChampCar commentaries, and you provide us with the insightful commentaries on the V8s'. After all, our two respective series are sharing the same stage, correct?

Now, if we could just figure out how to get either Tracy or Bourdais to drive a V8; wouldn't that just be interesting?

rah · Post by **rah** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 11:53 am

Tags says he wants to eventually live in australia, he also expressed an interest in a full time drive of the V8's. This is all when he gets out of NA racing.

He's not the only one with such an interest, rah....Paul Tracy's been doing some testing with NASCAR's Richard Childress Racing, and might just go stock-car racing in a couple of years.
