The Tasmanian results were amended to award WPS Racing's David Besnard the third race from PWR Performance Products' Bright and Holden Racing Team's Mark Skaife

As a result Bright was elevated from 18th to 8th position for the Tasmanian event at Symmons Plains Raceway, giving him an additional 36 points for the round and the championship.

It elevates him from fourth to third in the championship on 1816 points behind Kmart Racing's Murphy, who lost six points having initially been awarded second in the third Tasmanian race, on 1825. Pirtek Racing's Ambrose remains the championship leader on 1982 points.
