During this time mark was having trouble with tom walkindhaw who was trying to buy back his team. Mark was in all sorts of finacial trouble and was rumoured to have sold his family home during this time, to rent an apartment in toorak. This is not skaife. This is not the bloke who raced nissans 6's in the nighnties and thrashed family sedans in the naughties. As you may well can tell he is a little un easy in this interview and 42 is not an age you step out of the cockpit for good. (Lowndes as an example).He was facing a finacial strain but definitely deserved better. Long live the skaife legend!
That theory of Skaife moving into an apartment is untrue, in his autobiography he talks about rumours around his retirement and he mentions that one, which he said was completely false.
Skaife should never have got into ownership. He focussed too much on that after Project Blueprint came in and stopped HRT in its tracks. They have never won the driver's championship since in the various guises they have had.
the man is a god - well done on a brilliant career skaifey, shame you couldnt go out on a high
holden fans should forever be singing this man's praise's
What a fukin legend still drove like when he was young. To early for retirement skaifey.
What a bloody legend. One of kings of the sport with Brocky. The best two drivers ever in V8 Supercars both drove for Holden
Skaifey a true champion and great competitor thanks for the memories mark
We were robbed between 2003 -2008 of the racing legend skaife we all loved, Owning the team killed those years racing for him. Such a shame, But we enjoyed watching every race he entered because you just never knew when he would strike back.
he is great driver
I have a vx commodore... just cause skaife made his name in it... Holden will never die and will be here in Australia making whatever and I'm sure of it, this isn't just a car or brand, that lion and stone is part of Australian fabric that makes Australia "Australia".
People may have lost their "identity" with this country but I haven't, still football, meat pies, kangaroos and holden cars till the casket drops.
This comment didn't age well.
@@MJTAUTOMOTIVE did you even read the comment i made?
@@mr.sunnyg5510 , Yes I did. Also the song you refer to in your comment is American. They just changed some of the words around to fit.
@@MJTAUTOMOTIVE ahh yes... that old straw man... hey champ, if you wanna go there, then who is Henry Ford again? was he from South Aus? did he start a business in 1850 here in Australia? Hmm?
@@mr.sunnyg5510 . Sorry Mate, Too Soon?.
good job mwyresvid on getting this video on youtube because i missed it
In 2003 Skaifey would have said When Whincup Debut for garry rogers. "Jamie Whincup, nah mate never heard of her".
Mark Skafie vs Jason Plato same age but one from Great Britain and one from Australia
Skaife loved touching
Skaife was more sucessful then most the ford Drivers.
Well since 2000 Holden Racing Team has had number 1 on their door to 2003, then 2007,2008 and every other year up too 2008 has been ford.
2010, and 2012-2015 was Holden. and since 2016.
great stuff kenny. stevos023 is just jealous cause there has been no big successful drivers. and even half the ford drivers who where holden drivers cant do anything.
U wish he drove he a ford. But he had sence and would never drive for a car that is found on rubbish dumps
Too right.
what is the song play in bacl
james nicholls Justin Bieber - Baby
MGMT - Electric Feel
Ford Number 1, that makes me laugh. What the hell are u even doing stevo023 watching holden videos.
Same as half the ford drivers drove for Holden. So bahahahaha suck on that. Same as lowndes drove for your least favourite but the best team Holden Racing team.
