Well folks Mark Skaife retiring after a long racing car career. Mark Skaife has won 5 Bathurst 1000s and 3 v8 super car titles and 2  Australian touring car titles. Skaife has won 40 rounds more rounds than anyone in Australia.

So I think he is one the best drivers in the world.

Cheers

Hi guys, this weekend Holden and Ford will do battle at Bathurst in New South Wales Australia.  It all started in 1963 when Bathurst started there was Fords and Minis. In 1968 Holden launched the  v8 Monaro witch crushed Ford’s  V8 powered Falcon GT. In 1978 the Holden A9X torana  won and crushed the ford falcon. In 1999 Holden started it’s 7 year winning streak, then in 2006 ford started it’s 3 year winning streak.
