Skaife prevails in hail

One of the standout finishes in recent years, Mark Skaife’s tussle with Jason Richards in hideous weather at Sandown was an exciting battle between the mighty Holden Racing Team and gutsy Kiwi Team Dynamik. 

An electrical issue for HRT meant Skaife was shutting down whatever he could to keep the car going to make the end of the race. Richards took a dive – on lap 140 of a race reduced to 141 laps – but came unstuck to end up in the ditch, while Skaife, partnered with Todd Kelly, wrestled the Commodore home first in 2003.
