Had a great day at Bathurst, even tho it was horrible with the rain on the way. As soon as the Mountain could be seen the rain eased to a stop, and the clouds started to open.
F1 was the 2008 McLaren used to win the 2008 British GP, and the V8 was Triple8s rides car.
Just for the unofficial record here are the times. The F1 times smash the "record" of Lowndes of a 2:06.8 from last years Bathurst 1000.
F1 - On Pirelli Mediums
Button: 1.47.9
Lowndes: 1.49.0
V8 - On Dunlop Sprints
Button: 2:17
Lowndes: 2:11
The track was rather greasy, due to heavy rain the night and morning of the event, and the lack of other cars rubbering the track up.
