I agree, he's 1 of those blokes that everyone just loves to hate. Been following him since back in the GrpA Amaroo Park days when my dad first took me to the races back in our little green mini I'm glad he is heavily involved with HRT so that even when he does stop driving (hopefully he'll continue on at Bathurst with Seton for another 10yrs) he'll still be around the pits at each event.
Skaife won't be going anywhere just yet, he's had some bad luck over the past 12-18mths in the same way that Mark Webber has bad luck - just wrong place at wrong time for majority of the cases.
It took 2 years for me to smash the front of my car then strip and prime the rear and you go and ruin it all in a couple of weeks by fixing the damn thing, shame on you......

Tander is doing fine, up to 12th and consistently the 3-4th fastest laptimes each time around. Nice to see Baird/Seto in the top 15, lets see how they go with 30 laps to go
HRT do it every year, I was only telling my dad as the lights came on "he's reving it too early he will burn his clutch again".
Oh well the only problem with that is the possibility of being hit whilst coming through the field.
Ch7 don't take it seriously either, a 20min practice session and they are busy doing features on rick kelly and awarding prizes then an ad break and then its "as the practice session concludes......"
Bad luck for the Rat although I have to say that I think its time for the Rat to make like Brad Jones and just give up - he costs teams more than he is worth.
Dumb question but when all these 'throttle stuck open' issues that happen over the years, why do the drivers insist on trying to stop the car by locking the brakes when they could instead just throw the clutch in and let it rev off its nut?
Yellow flags are the biggest joke in motor racing. To drivers they certainly don't mean slow down and proceed with caution to them it means catchup to the bloke infront.
The only thing I hate about the Bathurst weekend is the constant repeats of segments on the tv coverage. I don't want to switch the tv on early sunday morning to watch 2hrs repeats of the previous days stuff..... c'mon Crompto
