2008 was another history making year at the Mountain as Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup became the first combination in 24 years to score a hat-trick of wins at the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.

The racing was drama packed from the start when pole setter Garth Tander jumped the start and then stalled, pushing the Toll Holden Racing Team to the rear of the field early. Many teams struggled with delaminating tyres as the punishing Mountain saw eight safety car sessions in the second half of the race.

TeamVodafone dominated the gruelling 161 laps, Lowndes and Whincup finishing clear of Sprint Gas Racingís Jason Richards and Greg Murphy. The Holden team recovered well after a first lap incident between Murphy and Lowndes and a tyre issue put the Sprint Gas Racing car at the back of the field.

The last spot on the podium was hard fought with Stone Brothers Racingís James Courtney getting up in the final few laps to overtake the tiring tyres under Ford Performance Racingís Steven Richards.

Relive all the action of the 2008 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 in the year Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup firmly marked their spot in the V8 Supercar history book.
