Courtney and Tander finished fourth and fifth respectively for the Holden factory squad, reigning champion Courtney also having led a large number of laps.

The Australian Grand Prix might not offer championship points, but in these days of restricted testing it does offer teams vital track time and races are contested just as fiercely as normal. This year’s GP event also saw the faster, option soft tyre used in conjunction with the standard hard tyre, each car required to pit for a rubber compound change in each race.

TeamVodafone’s Lowndes took out pole for Race 1, but it was teammate Whincup who won the race ahead of Tander. The HRT driver’s second place, was quite brilliant considering he started from 14th on the hard tyre and showed sensational speed before switching to the 'softs' for the run home to the flag.

Tander took the Race 2 win, but the story was Team BOC’s Jason Richards’ emotional second place finish – the loveable Kiwi making a guest appearance with his team while taking a break from treatment for cancer.

Richards led in the later stages of the race, but was passed by Tander with eight laps to go – the 35 year old wanting no special treatment from his fellow Holden driver and believing his result felt every bit as good as winning.

Whincup began the season in style by recording a dominating victory in the opening race of the season under lights at the spectacular Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi for the Yas V8 400 – the win coming in Whincup’s 100th championship start and an indication the two-time series champion is still smarting from losing his title to James Courtney the previous season. Double Victory for The Cruze in Brazil.

Go Torque. Trade News Direct. - Winter 2011 Go Torque. Trade News Direct. - Winter 2011 10 11 Section Title 60 Years Young. 60 Years of Ute Title. Honouring Australia’s Workhorse.

An icon, a classic and a quintessential part of Australian folklore. In this issue of Go Torque we take time out to celebrate 60 years of Holden Ute production which began in 1951.

Since that time, the iconic Aussie workhorse has become a mainstay of the local automotive scene and entered national folklore as a lasting example of local ingenuity.

And while our society has changed dramatically since those earliest days, the Holden Ute remains an enduring symbol of hard work and a laid-back lifestyle; a definition of the essential Australia. Its development reflects the changing social history of this country from the practical vehicle of the early years to the more performance focused two-door sports car for a work-hard play-hard generation.

The utility concept is an Australian original and our romance with it began in the mid-1930s, when several manufacturers made their own versions. When the war ended, GMH turned its attention to producing an all-Australian General Motors-Holden's built coupe ute bodies for Bedford, Chevrolet car, and the famous first Holden, the 48-215 (FX) sedan, was launched in and Vauxhall. It also constructed Chevrolet utes to Army specifications as 1948. With primary industry prospering and demand for the coupe utility part of a mammoth World War II manufacturing effort. expanding, it was only a matter of time before the first Holden Ute, derived directly from Australia's Own Car, made its entrance in 1951. They called it the 50-2106 Coupe Utility - and it was destined to blow all of its rivals, Chevrolets and Vauxhalls included, into the weeds.

The formula was right from the word go: affordable, versatile, good-looking, rugged and durable. Just like the 48-215, the new Holden Ute could cruise all day at 65mph (105 km/h), take steep hills in its stride and return remarkable overall fuel economy figures of 30 miles per gallon (9.4l/100km). Not only that, buyers discovered, you could use it to round up the sheep.

Successive models, from the much-loved FJ onwards, went on to make their own colourful and character-filled contributions to the enduring legend that is the Holden Ute.

And now, after 60 years of evolution - from workhorse to thoroughbred, from tradesman's transport to sports machine - today's Holden Ute remains linked to its heritage by the lion emblem it proudly displays and by the same attributes of versatility, reliability and great driveability.

Go Torque would like to introduce an exciting new product to all of our readers. Form-a-Funnel is an ingenious product that can be handy in almost any situation. It bends, molds and holds any shape to create leakproof channels for draining oil. You can also form it into funnels, drip trays and other liquid-management tools.

The innovative Form-A-Funnel Tool is constructed of a thin, bendable layer of lead encased by a thick, pliable coating of nitrile rubber. This makes it really easy to keep clean; simply wipe it with a wet rag. For stubborn grease and grime, it's also compatible with cleaners and degreasers.

The beauty of using lead as the bendable layer, is that it has no 'memory', so no matter how many times you mold it, it will always goes back to its original state. The lead is also extremely durable, so it won't fracture or break after many uses. Have a look at a video on their web site No more dirty shops! www.formafunnel.com.
