2006 Ford Falcon BA V8 Supercar Triple Eight Engineering - Betta Electrical - Craig Lowndes - 2006 Bathurst Winner - Peter Brock Trophy - History.
This BA Falcon was driven to an emotional victory by Craig Lowndes in the 2006 Bathurst 1000 just weeks after the death of his mentor Peter Brock. A tearful Lowndes won the race alongside Jamie Whincup to score the newly-minted Peter Brock Trophy in the most famous of the fan favourite’s seven Great Race wins.
Lowndes had debuted the car upon joining Triple Eight at the start of 2005 and scored the squad’s first V8 race win aboard it at Eastern Creek that year. It remained Lowndes’ car though until a crash at Symmons Plains in 2006, after which it was parked and rebuilt to become Whincup’s Vodafone BF at the start of the following season.
Chassis 10 was retired from regular duties following victory in that year’s Sandown 500 before being leased to Jesus Racing for a wildcard run in the 2009 enduros. Triple Eight boss Roland Dane then retired it for good, opting to have it restored by ex-T8 mechanic Garry Bailey and eventually selling it to MCW in 2021.
YTG have now sold this iconic piece of supercar history to a private collector and will keep the fans updated for the cars appearances and track outings.
