Sadly Mark Skaife was turned down by Elton John because Elton found the enormously overgrown nose a turn off. Brock and Skaife are tied for 37 wins.

2000

In securing victory in 2000, Mark recorded four pole positions, four round wins, three seconds and a third in the thirteen round Championship. Perhaps his most memorable drive was at the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide where after mechanical dramas in Saturday's first 250k leg, Skaife started Sunday's heat from the rear of the grid and overcame first heat then a thunderstorm to secure possibly the best win of his career. Skaife won the championship, followed by team mate Craig Lowndes.

Craig Lowndes was born in Melbourne, Victoria on June 21, 1974. ...


2001

Mark didn't have the best of luck this year. The reasons for this are as follows, he was taken out in Race One at the Adelaide 500, and almost the same in Race Two and he said "The only thing that didn't hit me in Adelaide was the Safety Car". He was given a Stop/Go penalty in Race One at Hidden Valley Raceway for apparently jumping the start. He was then involved in a mid-field incident in the reverse-grid Race Two at the GMC 400, causing him a lengthy pit stop to repair damage to the front of the car. Then he was given another Stop/Go penalty in Race One at Calder Park Raceway for a first-corner incident. And finally, damage to his car denied him a finish in the final race of the season. This year he got four poles, eight race wins, six seconds, five thirds and three round wins. Despite all this, however, he still won the 2001 Championship. He finished ahead of the Castrol Perkins Racing car of Russell Ingall.

2002

The 2002 Championship began in Adelaide at the Adelaide 500, and concluded at Sandown Raceway at the V8 Ultimate. With different race formats from Season 2001, consisting of more compulsory pit stops, a twilight race, and new teams joining the series, the 2002 Season was going to be a thriller, Mark had a fantastic season, starting off by winning both races at the Adelaide 500, winning the round at Phillip Island, taking a clean-sweep at Eastern Creek Raceway, winning the round at Hidden Valley Raceway and the GMC 400 in Canberra, therefore setting a new record for winning the first five rounds of a Championship. Mark also won the round at Oran Park Raceway, and took a clean-sweep of the Bathurst 1000 driving with Jim Richards. Mark secured Pole position in the Top 15 Shootout and despite plastic bags being stuck in his air intake, which could well have taken them out the race, they went on to win the race, marking the 10 year anniversary of Mark and Jim Richards' controversial Bathurst win in 1992. Mark wrapped up the 2002 Championship in winning the Bathurst 1000. Mechanical failures marred the rest of his season, with the only good result coming from Pole and a Race one win at Pukekohe Park Raceway. It is believed that the string of mechanical failures and therefore DNF's were due to HRT testing new parts during the later races of the Championship. All in all, it was a fantastic year for Mark, giving him five Australian Touring Car Championships. He finished ahead of K-mart driver Greg Murphy. For other uses, see Adelaide (disambiguation). ...

2003

The 2003 Championship was not the best year for Mark, Todd Kelly or the Holden Racing Team. With penalties, mechanical failures, driver errors and just plain old bad luck, it was a year to forget. Todd Kelly, who had some great results toward the end of the year finished in a solid 9th ahead of Shell driver Paul Radisich and behind his brother Rick Kelly. All that said however, Mark finished a solid 3rd in the Championship behind Kmart driver Greg Murphy and in front of PWR driver Jason Bright who used to drive for the Holden Racing Team in 2001 and 2002.

2004

In 2004 the year was started off as usual with the big Clipsal 500 in Adelaide. Skaife only qualified 13th to miss the top 10 shootout, a poor start to the season. This type of bad luck and mistakes went on until Rd 5 in Barbagallo when Mark got a front row start and got the win in race one, but then the bad luck continued and he got a 15th and a 9th. Queensland and Winton were a complete failure, but Oran Park was a turn around, getting 1st in the shootout, 1st in race one and 2nd in race two, but only got 2nd for the round. The two Enduros Sandown and Bathurst were two huge disappointments finishing 23rd and 14th. The last three rounds were once again lost. At Symmons Plains Skaife tried the new Holden Chassis, but got two DNF's and a 3rd. Ford's Marcos Ambrose won the championship with his partner Russell Ingall coming second. Todd Kelly had an impressive 7th and Skaife had one of his career lows finishing 12th.

2005

The 2005 season was a "Never Say Die" year for the Holden Racing Team, as the last season was a shocker for Skaifey. "This year HRT are hungry for some wins" says Skaife in a press conference. In Adelaide Skaife had a car malfunction in race 1, but in race two he flew from the back of the grid to get 3rd place. At Pukekohe he had a very consistent round, same with Rd 3 Barbagallo. At Eastern Creek he had two 7th placings in both races putting himself in a good spot for the championship fight. Shanghai in China he had a pole and got a 1st place and a 3rd place, but in race three he got a drive-through, but Todd Kelly took out the international round to make history for HRT. At Hidden Valley he had two 2nd placings and a 26th, but still in the fight for his 6th championship. Queensland Raceway and Oran Park Raceway were two rounds to forget for Mark as he was out of the top ten for both. Sandown and Bathurst were two great rounds for Skaife and Kelly as they got 2nd at Sandown behind Craig Lowndes and at Bathurst the HRT car 2 got a win. The last three rounds were consistent for Mark but could only get 6th in the championship behind his partner Todd. V8 Supercars in action V8 Supercar is the main motor racing series in Australia. ...

Bathurst 1000


On 11 October 2005, Mark Skaife & Todd Kelly took a well-deserved victory at the 2005 Supercheap Auto 1000. They managed to stay clear of the carnage and controversy, in what was a thrilling race around the world-famous Mount Panorama Circuit. Mark started the race, after qualifying 4th in the Shootout. He also set a new lap record in the later stages of the race. Todd drove fast and sensibly, and handed the car back to Mark for the last stint, ready to challenge for the lead. Mark took the lead after passing Jason Richards in the Chase, and led to the end. The win was Mark's first round win since 2003, and Todd's third for the year. It was Mark's 5th Bathurst win, and Todd's 1st, made even more special for him, because it was won on his 26th birthday.
