V8 Supercars is a great series. Wish we can see more of it here in North America. Most race highlights I've seen (on Speed Channel) are exciting, but this one is intense.

I wanted the other guy to win, though. If he made the chicane in his last overtaking move, the eventual winner would have had to give up the place. (by attempt at not spoiling the result)

That was great..thanks for posting. Any idea if there were penalties for that chicane cutting by both of them? The guy who finished second was in the lead at the point when that happened.
