Funny though, how Winton ALWAYS brings up unexpected winners, but I suppose that is bad for the sport ??? ::) :P

You can't have underfunded teams or backmarker drivers showing up the elite now, can you?  :)  :)  :)

Which winner was unexpected this year?
Waters? Or SVG?

One year doesn't make history. Were you in long pants and out of primary school when a Nissan won there, just one example

Well you did write 'always' in all caps. Why not just say sometimes like I did?

But Winton throws up some interesting results sometimes as even the top teams find it hard to setup for.

It is just Supercars screwing over permanent tracks, coz they don't meet their holier than tho attitude
.
It will he to their detriment when the permanent tracks are needed again andc Suprrcars are told **** off
I agree with sentiment but this has been said and written continuously since 1997.Yet 25 years later here we are and Supercars are still able to bleed state governments for money to run street races and even circuit owners who build state of the art circuits or who buy circuits and get them up to spec and are even team owners are either passed over or left hanging on an annual basis.

You're claiming that was due to the track?

Queensland raceways the most boring track IMO. Not sorry to see street races ahead of that one. Hopefully Quinn turns it into something more interesting.

where else did Nissan win?

Any time that Waters wins is unexpected by me.  :P

Hidden Valley. With the same fuel as everyone else.

Trevor

So you find it unusual for Nissans to win,

To be fair, Winton is often one of the rounds to cop an odd tyre rule which usually means different winners over the weekend.

Skaife hates Winton as he never won there in a (V8) Supercar, and he has a fair bit of pull with Supercars management

I'm sure Mr Skaife would love to travel to as many all expenses paid rounds as possible  ;D

but only places like The Bend, Bathurst, Adelaide, Newcaste & Townsville, particularly Newcastle and Townsville as he was instrumental in the design of the tracks
