Phillip Island Enduro Race
While your never shy of a drought at Phillip Island, Holden ended their drought by taking out the Enduro race in the lead up to the 'big one' up the Mount (Mt Panorama) and by that I mean Bathurst.

The team of Tander and Skaife clinched the win from Whincup in the closing laps where on lap 103 of 115 they overtook the Ford team of Lowndes & Whincup and held out until the end taking the checkered flag.

Tander mentioned his wife giving him advice being a top F3 driver and familiar with the course in the rain. All I have to say is I'm happy to have Holden back on top of the podium and hope they take bathurst back from Ford.

I'm hoping that this is not going to become a habit for Hamilton being so close to taking out the season when its almost coming to an end.His point standings now only put him 1 point ahead and I mention this only as he lost the championship title last year (in his first year) in the last race. It'll be nail biting coming down to the wire and he and team will need to pull out all stops to secure the victory making decisive tyre choices, strategic pits and just let Hamilton do what he does best and drive the heck out that car.
