He also reversed the result from qualifying, when he had been second to Skaife in a GT-R.Second-fastest man Larry Perkins’ lap also deserves a place on this list as LP managed to split Johnson Skaife in his ageing VL Commodore.The Holden Racing Team’s double disaster on Sunday in the 1995 Great Race, as both cars were out early with engine failures, means Lowndes’ Saturday heroics are often forgotten.In his first Bathurst Shootout, a then 21-year-old Lowndes upstaged all the regulars by putting the HRT’s #015 entry on top to become the youngest Bathurst pole-sitter in the process.While the team was on the brink of losing its Holden deal in the aftermath of the race, Lowndes’ brilliance provided a clear sign of what could be achieved with a stay of execution for 1996.Bathurst is not always about thundering V8s, and the Super Touring era in Australia shifted the spotlight – briefly – to 2-litre international racers.The Volvo S40 is not a legendary Bathurst car, but Rydell’s 1998 Super Tourer pole lap stands as one of the great Shootout performances.Having won that year’s hotly contested British Touring Car Championship, the Swede was on top of his game and ready to build on an exploratory debut at Bathurst the previous year.Rydell’s pole lap in the five-cylinder machine proved 1.5s quicker than the next-best and would have netted a top-15 start in that year’s V8 Bathurst 1000.The racer-turned-television pundit’s lap aboard his Mitre 10 Falcon in the 1999 Shootout stands as one of the great underdog Bathurst poles and the highlight of the popular Ford man’s career.His time narrowly denied Holden Racing Team spearhead Mark Skaife a third-straight Bathurst pole, giving hope to Ford fans in an otherwise bleak year.Larkham’s lap was the fastest for a Supercar at Bathurst to that point and the first to undercut Neil Allen’s long-standing race lap record benchmark, set in a Formula 5000 single-seater in 1970.Scoring pole on his Bathurst debut marked Ambrose as something very special.He was only 11th fastest in regular qualifying but made the Shootout field thanks to the Top 15 format introduced for that year, and improved by over a second in the one-lap dash.Ambrose remains one of just two rookies to score pole for the Great Race, together with Klaus Ludwig whose 1987 efforts were overshadowed by the disqualification of his Texaco Sierra from the subsequent race.The ‘Lap of the Gods’ has passed into Bathurst folklore.While others have gone faster since, the legend of Murphy’s 2003 lap has only grown as time has passed – including the missed gear that he said stopped him going even quicker.The last man out in the Shootout after recording provisional pole with a 2:07.9503, the Kiwi took aim at John Bowe’s 2:07.9556 benchmark.Murphy’s stunning 2:06 drew unprecedented applause from rival teams on his return to pitlane and stood as the quickest Great Race pole lap until 2014.Just 14 years after cheering his childhood hero to pole, it was McLaughlin’s turn to add his Shootout heroics to Murphy’s effort.In his first run at Bathurst with DJR Team Penske, McLaughlin had recorded a series of low 2:04s in the preliminary practice sessions.Last out in the Top 10, the Shell Ford driver delivered when it mattered and his 2:03.8312s was enough to score pole by 0.4434s – a big margin by modern Supercars standards.Bathurst is almost certain to open the 2021 Supercars season. The COVID crisis punched a giant hole in his hopes and plans for the...It’s time for Supercars drivers to close their coffee club and act more like the UFC, according to former champion James Courtney. The race was won by Triple Eight Race Engineering pairing Craig Lowndes and Steven Richards in their Holden VF Commodore. ... more critically, the right amount of fule in these last few tension filled laps...
