Just watched this on the tivo tonight... did anyone else see this one recently? Final race @ Eastern Creek in Sydney, in which Ambrose took the championship.

The incident between Skaife and Ingall was unbelievable (see http://www.sportal.com.au/v8x.asp?i=news&id=45664 for info). Skaife staying on track next to his broken car, waiting for Ingall to complete a lap so he could give him an unfriendly hand signal as he passed. Along comes Ingall, who veers sharply towards Skaife as if to run him over.

My favorite quote from the race stewards: "Russell Ingall was found to be in breach of the Rules...for driving his car towards a person proximate to the racing surface." :?

Definitely my favorite racing series (though not because of incidents like this...)

I watched it.

It was quite entertaining, especially in the rain.
