It was an engineering feat that this engine survived. Skaife somehow kept the pace up, using as little throttle as possible to look after the boiling engine. It was no doubt the difference in the end. Good luck or good management, they got the job done.

Thanks for posting. Unfortunately I missed the 02 race as i was deployed to East Timor. There was no streaming back in those days, internet was pretty sparce up near the border between Batugate and Balibo.

thanks for your service mate, its a wonder how we survived back then without live streams and internet 😂

There were gusts of wind all over the place and I admit that the #1 HRT Commodore survived a race-ending scare, plastic bags were stuck onto the radiator intake and by then the oil temperature and coolant gauge went off the scale according to the data on the dashboard.

The VT/VX model were so dominant, such great liveries too

I remember watching this live as a 7 year old with dad.
