00 XR8 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Laps led in 2004 after round 13.

Bathurst has not been included because the information from which I was working gave no indication of which driver was actually steering the car. Sandown is included because I was smart enough to be able to work out who was driving thanks to the #10 telecast

Ambrose 504
Bright 147
Skaife 112
R.Kelly 107
Murphy 99
Tander 44
Ritter 37
Besnard 37
T.Kelly 36
S.Richards 20
Baird 18
Radisich 17
J.Richards 16
Wills 15
Lowndes 10
Morris 8
Johnson 8
Wilson 7
Weel 6
McConville 6
Ingall 6
Noske 5
Longhurst 4
Winterbottom 3
Tratt 3
Dumbrell 3
Brede 2
Bowe 2
Bargwanna 2


Ambrose absolutely smashed 'em and very deservingly won the title.

Team Dynamik, WPS Racing and Tasman Motorsport really enjoyed gambling with the strategy and staying out the longest on many occasions gave them a higher than expected laps led count.

Ingall's lack of qualifying speed and the conservative (and effective!) strategy employed by SBR meant that he ended the season having led only one more lap than Mark Noske did!

I hope some of you were interested even a little bit in this...........
