2004 Gala Awards pretty boring

[Y2kGoofball]

Yep, although some surprises

Skaife got the RPM most popular driver, I personally voted for Murphy but thought Ambrose would get it

HRT / Skaife got most pole awards for the most number of poles

HRT also got a few other awards, most popular team or something and a few others

Holden got 2004 Champion Manufacturer which was a shock. Why? Well although we focus on Ambrose being at the front this award was acctually taking into consideration what Ive pointed out in the past, when you look back through the field from 2nd back its made up of a large number of Holdens

Naturally ambrose got the champions award, Ingall the runner up and Bright the 3rd award

Also Bob Morris (from memory) and Fred gibson were inducted to the hall of fame

I think there may have been a few more awards but they werent televised

was i out at the time or did they not give the miss V8 supercars award, thats the only reason i watched it

[murph_fan]

I heard Holden won the 'Manufacture of the year' because Holden had won more rounds than Ford this year (Holden =8, Ford = 6). But well done to the teams that won awards..

[VSV6]

wow
Shows how popular SBR are doesn't it?
Obviously everyone likes Skaife ay? I voted for Murph too
No surprise Holden gettin manufacturer of the year, if you add it up the Holden drivers made up A LOT more points than the Ford drivers.

Cheers

Well, if SBR would stop cheating and they would have engine of similar power and weight to the holden motors internally (our motors can't revs as fast cos of internals) and if they didn't have a 50hp advantage, maybe it would be a bit more even.
