Craig lowndes has got to be one of the greatest ever racers to be in the V8 Supercars! He has been one of the most consistent racers in the V8 in the last 20 odd years and is currently 38 years old and doesn't seem to be slowing at all. He has all of the prestigeous prizes in v8 and are as follows:

. 3 time v8 supercars champion (1996, 1998-99), 3 time runner-up (2005-06, 2011), 2 time 3rd (2000, 2007), currently 2nd in this years championship.

. won 1996 championship in his rookie year, youngest ever driver to do so at 22!

. 5 time bathurst 1000 winner (1996, 2006-08, 2010), 5 times runner-up (1994, 1999, 2003-04, 2011), 1 time 3rd place (2012).

. 87 race wins from 204 starts.

. 101 podium finishes.

. 40 round wins.

. 31 pole positions.

He always has a smile on his face whenever you see him in the field and always seems to be having a ball while still taking it seriously. one of the best people in the v8's IMO!

    Yeah I'm a fan. I know it's an Aussie faux pas, but I'm not fussed either way with the manufacturers and have been supporting Lowndes whichever make of car he happens to be in.

    He tried his luck OS for a year or two didn't he?

    Yeah he gave formula 3000 a go in '97 and was team-mate to juan pablo montoya, unfortunately he didn't have the success montoya did in his 1 season as he retired in the majority of races and was unable to find the budget to compete another season so came back to V8's and won his first year back!

    It seems to be a good and a bad thing for Aussie motorsport. Our drivers just can't compete with budgets and sponsorships so they tend to miss out on international series. But it also means that we've got some incredibly talented guys in our domestic series.
