Wayne.... The Movie

Graeme Crosby is someone who downplays his car racing career too, it barely rates a mention in his autobiography despite him taking to it like a duck to water, made the Bathurst Top 10 at his first attempt amongst other things



Gardner probably said that after Lowndes punted Gardner off in a straightline at the Bathurst ATCC round in 1996. Gardner and plenty of others (even HRT from memory) were very critical of Lowndes driving there, he obviously learned from it. (Johnson criticised Lowndes driving at Sandown a round earlier as well)

Lowndes obviously took the criticism on board and learnt from it



The divorce happened after the bike career was over, and they are still friendly (Donna wrote the forward for Wayne's book)

The travelled the world together as Gardner chased success, and they achieved it together. I'd call that a love story.

As a movie - it sounds like a turkey though?
