Ambrose doubles up in Adelaide.

Sunday, 20th March 2005

Holden may have fought through a mixture of problems to claim third and fourth place in race two of the V8 Supercar Series opener, but the Clipsal 500 was all about Marcos Ambrose and Ford.

But despite the strength on display elsewhere, Marcos Ambrose truly remains the man to beat. “I’m absolutely pumped up with the result, I’m just having a blast,” said the reigning champion.

“It looks too easy,” said Greg Murphy when watching the in-car footage of Ambrose from the commentary box. It was for the Tasmanian in Adelaide, but Murph and the rest of the V8 Supercar contenders will be hoping Ambrose doesn’t have it quite all his way when they are next in action in New Zealand.
