The second round of the season and Craig Lowndes’ first year in a Ford after a controversial move from the Lion.

After winning with HRT in the previous season, the 1999 champion proved why he is one of the best drivers to ever grace the Supercars championship.

Lowndes qualified eighth for the first of two 250-kilometre races of the Clipsal 500 for Gibson Motorsport Ford AU Falcon.
