Comments from Ross

“It was sensational to win the championship again and was a great reward for the team that had worked so hard throughout the season. Marcos proved he was a class act in the V8 Supercars series and gained a lot of respect from his peers. Russell managed to take second overall in the last race of the championship which was such a great result for the team.  
It was pretty special to finish first and second at the Sandown enduro which is a feat that is not too often repeated. To go back to back and finish 1-2 in 2004 was well beyond our expectations and is something Jimmy and I will look back on as great moment in the history of SBR.”
