00:00It's been a long time between drinks for Ford in terms of a round victory.
00:08Their last one, Hidden Valley, in 1999, some 19 rounds ago.
00:13Could today be the day they break through and do that?
00:16Paul Radisic is the man who is perhaps best placed to do that at the moment,
00:19and he will start from pole position in this one,
00:22alongside Stephen Ellery, who took his first ever win in the championship in race two.
00:26Mark Scape and Craig Lowndes, the Red Barons on row two.
00:29Larkham and Longhurst on row three, and Bowen-Crompton on the fourth row.
00:33Keep in mind those top six positions are determined for heat three on aggregate
00:37as a result of results from heat one and two,
00:40if you're having trouble figuring that out at home.
00:42You'll see it on the right-hand side of the Shell Helix scoreboard, too.
00:45Those yellow boxes determine where they qualified and where they finished in race two,
00:49so you can get a good idea of how these cars have fared during the day.
00:52Row nine is Jason Barguana alongside Thomas Mazira, 10,
00:55Brad Jones and Greg Murphy, 11, Steve Reid and Trevor Ashby,
00:59Paul Morris besides Stephen Johnson on the twelfth row.
01:02Paul Romano and Rodney Forbes start out of row 13,
01:04Derek Van Zellman, Mike Emery out of 14,
01:06Dougal McDougal and Rod Nash alongside there.
01:09Stephen Richards after that collision,
01:11and he too, they fixed that car, he will make the start,
01:13but out of 31st position.
01:15A lot of work to do for the Kmart rider.
01:17Incredible performance from the Kmart team.
01:19They got it ready within seconds of pit lane closing.
01:22Larry Perkins is a non-starter in this one.
01:25The diff housing bent so badly after that altercation with Stephen at the start of race two.
01:32If you look at them, they're lined up.
01:33You see Radisic and behind Scaife there over to our television left a bit
01:39because the oil that was dropped from the differential of the Perkins car.
01:44Green flag being waved.
01:46Just about set to go in the final race of the day,
01:49round 12 of the Shell Championship Series.
01:52Away.
01:53Good start by Radisic.
01:54Ellery equal to the course.
01:55Both the Red Barons jump out nicely.
01:58We go further back and it's the Celtics hamlet machine of Tony Longhurst,
02:00but Larkham's got the better on him
02:02as they work towards turn one for the first time.
02:05It's going to be interesting.
02:07Radisic.
02:08Yes.
02:09Beautiful run by Radisic up the inside.
02:11Stephen Ellery decides to go with him.
02:13They'll go side by side on a Shell Mastercard turn
02:15up toward the King for the first time.
02:19Two Holton Racing Team Commodores in between the two Fords.
02:21There's Mark Larkham in there on the Mitre 10 machine.
02:25Big field shuffling through.
02:27Eastern Nats turn.
02:28Hopefully they can get through cleanly
02:29as they charge up the back straight for the first time.
02:31Vic Donagher muscling his way up there
02:33at the Ultratune TDK Commodore.
02:36It's an idea of the points for you.
02:37Umptor race two today.
02:38Paul Radisic on top on 72.
02:40Look how close things are between Lowndes, Scaife and Ellery.
02:44Tony Longhurst back there on 56 points
02:46with Mark Larkham.
02:47It's going to be a very interesting conclusion to this round.
02:50Can Radisic win the round
02:51and how will it affect the championship between...
02:53Oh, look at this.
02:54Look at this.
02:55Fargwana muscles his way through.
02:56Ingle comes through as well.
02:57Oh, my point.
02:59Great shot there.
03:00Low down level.
03:01You can see all the action as they came through
03:03XR Falcon Corner.
03:05Fortunately, John Faulkner gathered it up
03:06and got back into the battle
03:07as we complete one lap.
03:12Make your way onto the front straight.
03:14On this occasion,
03:15we should also welcome
03:16to the commentary box,
03:17Jason Bright.
03:19Joining us for this one.
03:20Jason, a frantic start.
03:21Yeah, it is.
03:22You know, as usual,
03:23there'll be eight supercars
03:24really turning it on.
03:26Now, you've got the drive up
03:27at the Honda Indy 300.
03:30It's going to be fantastic
03:31having an Australian represented there.
03:32There's Mike Emery's car in trouble
03:34early in the race.
03:35You've had limited time
03:36your first drive of a champ car.
03:38How do you think
03:39you're going to go off
03:39on the streets of surface?
03:41It's obviously going to be
03:42a big weekend for me
03:43and, you know,
03:43we're not going in there
03:44expecting too much.
03:45We just want to love
03:46to finish the race
03:47and if we can, you know,
03:48get a good result,
03:49it'll be all the more happier.
03:50Encouraging for you
03:51when you look at your teammate,
03:53if you like,
03:53for the FAI 1000,
03:55Paul Radisic.
03:55You know,
03:56the driver positions
03:58with that team
03:58have yet to be finalised
03:59for the big one
04:00but encouraging performance
04:01from the team
04:01as you head up there.
04:03Yeah, it seems every time
04:04I turn up at a V8 supercar racer,
04:06shell cars out in front,
04:07I turned up at Eastern Creek
04:08and Paul turned it on there
04:09and he's turning on again today.
04:11So, Paul Radisic in command.
04:14The shell 18th forward,
04:15Garth Tander,
04:16back there in sixth position,
04:18fighting hard to stay
04:18in this championship.
04:20Went right to the back
04:21of the grid in heat two
04:21after an incident
04:22to Russell Ingle
04:23and there he is
04:24right back in the thick
04:25of the battle.
04:25Car 34,
04:26the Valvoline Cummins Commodore
04:27and the Ford fans
04:29have had plenty to cheer about.
04:30Look at them waving
04:31those blue ovals.
04:33It's Paul Radisic
04:33and Stephen Ellery.
04:36A great major battle here
04:37with the Holland Racing Team Commodores.
04:39Let's look down the straight
04:40and see where the cars are located.
04:41John Bauer just sneaked up
04:42inside to Tony Longhurst.
04:44Big field getting strung out
04:46on pit straight there.
04:47Stephen Johnson
04:47fighting his way back through.
04:49Radisic was 0.3 of a second
04:51quicker than everybody else
04:52that time around.
04:53We'll talk about
04:54Markley.
04:55Blue Oval fans
04:55having plenty to cheer about.
04:57seven falls in the top ten
04:58at the moment.
05:00Let's take a look
05:00at the Shell Helix replay.
05:02Jason,
05:02pull us through this one.
05:04Yeah,
05:04obviously they're all
05:05using plenty of the grass
05:06there on the inside
05:07and I think
05:07it looks like John
05:08just got a little bit unsettled
05:09by driving over the grass
05:10on the inside of the corner.
05:12Another angle.
05:13Another angle.
05:13It looks like he also
05:16got touched
05:17on the front there
05:18by the colour scan car
05:19so he probably
05:20made his matters worse
05:22by running through
05:23the inside there.
05:24So Stephen Ellery
05:25once again in that position.
05:26We've seen him in all day
05:27with Mark Scaife
05:28filling up his mirrors.
05:30Breathing heavily
05:30on the car.
05:31I've got to say
05:32the quality of the racing
05:33amongst these leading cars
05:34today has been
05:35absolutely fantastic.
05:37Very, very close.
05:38Door handle to door handle.
05:39Bumper to bumper stuff.
05:41Everyone managing
05:42to come through the races.
05:44Great performance.
05:45Stephen Ellery
05:46could well stand
05:47on the podium
05:48this afternoon.
05:49It'll be an extraordinary
05:49performance.
05:50He won the second race
05:51of the day, Mark.
05:52We should bear in mind
05:52that the last time
05:53Ford won all three races
05:55of the day
05:55because the Rat
05:56won the first one
05:57here today
05:58was in fact
05:58Eastern Creek
05:59in 1997
06:00when Glenn Seton
06:02won all three
06:03of those races.
06:03There is Mark Scaife
06:04and his Munro driver profile.
06:07Our Shell Championship
06:08Series leader
06:08at the moment.
06:10We've been working
06:11overtime here
06:11with the different
06:13calculations, Mark,
06:14as far as what can happen
06:14with the championship
06:15given Mark's position
06:17at the moment
06:17and Garth Tander
06:18who is currently
06:19in sixth position
06:20in this final race.
06:21After two heats today,
06:23Tander's only dropped
06:2414 points on Scaife
06:25so it hasn't been
06:26as disastrous
06:27as it may have looked
06:27outside.
06:29So Tander's still
06:29hanging on by his fingernails
06:31fighting hard
06:31but he's up
06:32in that top ten, Jason.
06:33And you know how close
06:34the competition is
06:35in V8 supercars.
06:36Very, very difficult
06:37to overtake
06:37when you're up
06:38at that top level.
06:39It really is.
06:39I mean you just have
06:40to be, you know,
06:41because everybody's
06:42getting on the power
06:43at the same point
06:43in the corner
06:44if you're behind
06:45that car in front
06:45you know you've got
06:46to get a really good
06:46run out of that corner
06:47to be able to
06:48make a new impression
06:49and try and pass him
06:50at the end of the street.

07:07Paul Radisic
07:08has set the fastest lap
07:09this race
07:10lap 3
07:10a 1.12.68
07:11still a long way
07:13away from the V8
07:14lap record
07:15a 1.11.63
07:16set by Lowndes
07:16last year.
07:17the cars are on
07:19a different specification
07:20tyre this year
07:21it's made quite a difference
07:22to some of these cars
07:23and some of the tracks
07:24they've been to
07:24Lowndes there
07:26sitting in 4th position
07:27the order at the moment
07:28Radisic leading
07:29Ellery still in 2nd
07:30Mark Scaife
07:31and Craig Lowndes
07:32stuck together
07:33look at the
07:33minor 10 forward
07:34of Mark Larkman
07:35great performance
07:35with Garth Tander
07:36in behind him
07:37Neil Crompton in 7th
07:38he's had a good
07:39consistent run
07:40in the 2nd FTR car
07:41Paul Wheel
07:41Craig Baird
07:42and John Bauer
07:43rounding up the top 10
07:44at the moment
07:44just looks as if
07:46Stephen Ellery
07:46just a fraction
07:47slower than Scaife
07:48and Lowndes
07:50behind
07:50I think if Scaife
07:51got past
07:52then he might
07:54have a go
07:54into Radisic
07:55Larkham's right
07:56there with them
07:57as well
07:58in the minor 10
07:58forward
07:59he sits in 5th position
08:00they work very hard
08:01the team
08:01in between race 2
08:02and race 3
08:03oh that's problems
08:04there for Paul Romano
08:05that does not look good
08:07they have had terrible
08:07luck this team
08:08haven't they
08:08not just this year
08:09but a number of years
08:11problems there
08:12as he tries to
08:13limp it back to the pits
08:14looks like a suspension
08:15failure or something
08:16the back end
08:16seem to have collapsed
08:17there
08:18Larkham as we were
08:19talking about
08:19has been struggling
08:21he felt a little bit
08:22for power down grip
08:23today
08:23so the team
08:24have made a bit
08:24of a change
08:25between race 2
08:27and race 3
08:28and it seems to have
08:29paid dividends
08:30here is the stop go
08:30penalty
08:31no it's Paul Morris
08:33he just sent a message
08:34from the pits
08:35apparently Paul Romano
08:36has radiated into the
08:37garage and said
08:37I've got to park it
08:38this thing's just too old
08:39oh
08:40stalls it
08:42coming away from the
08:43stop go
08:44gets the big raspberry
08:45from the fans

08:51nothing must be wrong
08:53there with that car
08:54there he goes
08:55gets it going now
08:55gets back into the action
08:58meanwhile we're back
08:59with Mark Larkham
09:00applying plenty of heat
09:02to the back of the
09:02Holden Racing Team
09:03Giro here
09:04Rod Nash in trouble
09:05in the Autopro Commodore
09:06gets back
09:08on the racing one
09:09that's just coming out
09:10of Easternat's turn
09:10he's managed to
09:13survive
09:13here's the battle
09:14for the lead though
09:15it's been on
09:16since the start
09:16Paul Radisic
09:17opening it up
09:181.5 seconds
09:19the gap now
09:19over the super cheap
09:20Autos car
09:21and look at this train
09:22forming behind him
09:23the man at the tail
09:25of the train too
09:26Garth Tander
09:26he's managed to
09:27rope in Larkham
09:29and he's staying
09:30right in touch
09:30with this battle
09:32going on
09:33all the while
09:33Radisic has managed
09:34to full clear
09:35here's the Shell Helix
09:36replay
09:36Anthony Trent there
09:39and in the
09:40background there
09:41Jason Rod Nash
09:42yeah it looks like
09:43just the middle
09:44of the corner
09:44there's caught him
09:45out
09:45I'm not sure
09:45whether he had
09:46a problem or not
09:46but it just seemed
09:47to snap
09:47swap ends on him
09:48really quickly
09:49I know a V8 supercar
09:51is about as far
09:52removed from an
09:53Indy lights open
09:54wheeler as you
09:54could possibly get
09:55Jason but
09:56were the years
09:57spent in V8 supercar
09:58racing to you
09:59valuable in terms
10:00of learning set up
10:00learning race craft
10:01things like that
10:02yeah I mean
10:02you've really
10:03every time I go
10:04out in a race car
10:05whether you know
10:05it doesn't matter
10:05what kind of car
10:06it is I try
10:07and learn something
10:08and you know
10:08the couple of years
10:09in V8 supercars
10:10you know it's all
10:11still learning
10:12and all learning
10:12about close racing
10:13if nothing else
10:14but there's still
10:15a lot of things
10:16that apply to the
10:17set up in a V8 supercar
10:18that apply to
10:19any open wheeler
10:20obviously a
10:21champ car is a
10:23very different machine
10:24but do you think
10:24your years of having
10:25raced on the Gold Coast
10:26will help you next weekend
10:27yeah obviously
10:28you know I know
10:29my way around the track
10:30there I had success
10:31there in Formula Ford
10:32and you know
10:32it's going to be
10:33a little bit different
10:34going down the streets
10:35twice as quick
10:36but you know
10:37it still will be
10:38an advantage
10:39you know
10:39that I have driven
10:40around there
10:40well he flew the flag
10:41for Ford in Australia

10:57cars locked in
10:58behind him

10:59consistent performance
11:00so far from the
11:01Super Chief Autos team
11:02and the Rat
11:03not surprisingly
11:03is still the quickest
11:04man on the circuit

11:56the four teams
11:57turned it on here
11:58it's been a
11:59disastrous year
11:59so far
12:00they've had a
12:01sniff of the lead
12:02they've won a few
12:02heats
12:03but never actually
12:04won a championship
12:05round and they're
12:06staring right down
12:07the barrel of that
12:07at the moment
12:08particularly thanks

12:17and that must be
12:19a good sign
12:19going up to
12:20Mount Panorama
12:20Jason
12:21those DJR cars
12:22look like
12:23they've got
12:23an enormous
12:23amount of
12:24horsepower
12:24yeah well
12:25they certainly
12:25pulled out
12:26the form
12:26last year
12:27and they probably
12:28should have won
12:28that one
12:29so it's
12:29very privileged
12:31to be jumping
12:31in one of those
12:32seats heading up
12:33now this year
12:34but it looks
12:37about how
12:38Scaife
12:38is going
12:38to have
12:39a bit
12:39to lunge
12:39Ellery
12:40in a minute
12:40I think
12:40yeah
12:41running out
12:43of
12:43flashing his
12:45lights at him
12:45so Ellery's
12:46I guess Scaife
12:48feels Ellery
12:49perhaps holding
12:49him up
12:49well
12:50if these guys
12:51finish where
12:52they are
12:52just keeping
12:53our eye
12:53on this
12:54tense
12:54championship
12:55battle
12:55there'll be
12:57a 209
12:58point difference
12:59between
12:59Mark Scaife
13:00and Garth Tander
13:01going into
13:01the FAI 1000
13:02so the championship
13:03will still be
13:03alive
13:04we're going to
13:05have a race
13:05within our race
13:06up there
13:06as we had
13:07last year
13:07so it should
13:08be an absolute
13:08thriller
13:08on Mount
13:09Panorama
13:09in November
13:10Tander's done
13:11a good job
13:12when he comes
13:12right
13:13to the
13:13boat
13:13there
13:13just despite
13:15that
13:16qualification
13:17with
13:17Russell
13:18Inwood
13:18being sent
13:19to the rear
13:19of the grid
13:19he's maintained
13:20his focus
13:20and just
13:21kept on the
13:22jog
13:22he's pulling
13:22back up in
13:23there
13:23on the
13:23Macaparka
13:24which is a
13:25surprise
13:25he was right
13:25on the tail
13:26of him
13:26there
13:26a lap
13:27or two
13:28before
13:28now we hear
13:29that car
13:29two
13:30Mark Scaife's
13:31car has been
13:31warned by
13:32the officials
13:32for excessive
13:33curb hopping
13:34so they're going
13:35to be keeping
13:36an eye on
13:36that
13:36as he continues
13:37doing that
13:38that's worth
13:38a stop
13:38go penalty
13:39so I want
13:39to rein
13:39that sort
13:40of driving
13:42in
13:42could be
13:42very very
13:43costly
13:43to his
13:44championship
13:44campaign
13:45six forwards
13:47in the top
13:48ten
