Driver Of The Year-Greg Murphy, has not always had the best car all year yet always gives 100%
Team Of The Year-Larkham Motorsport. They have come from nowhere this year, SBR engines would only help!!!
Best Presented Car-Tasman Motorsport. That is one aggressive looking paint job, minus all the scratches it has accumulated over the year!!
Fairest Driver Of The Year-Cameron McConville. Glad to see him in a decent car racing wwith the best of them.

With all repect Formula 5000 how can you pick one Paul "The Hitmen"Dumbrell as the driver of the year, as he has punted off more drivers than anyone else. I know this is a personal pick but The Hitman as DOTY.????????????????

TSR, you are right, he may not be DOTY but he has to be the improver of the year, after everyone picked on him after Adelaide

DRIVER OF THE YEAR - Greg Murphy just in front of Marcos and Brighty.

TEAM OF THE YEAR - Stone Brothers Racing, daylight second.

BEST PRESENTED CAR - Dick Johnson Racing. Not 100% sure why, they just look good on the track.

FAIREST DRIVER OF THE YEAR - Craig Lowndes. Even though he's in a Ford thesedays he's still a champ.

CRY BABY OF THE YEAR - TSR for his constant bleating about Murph being a "try hard". Seriously champ, build a bridge.

SORE LOSER OF THE YEAR - Paul Morris. His comments about Alan Gurr at Bathurst were very average.

PASS OF THE YEAR - Probably Cam McConville on Crash Bandicoot at Winton.

BEST NEWCOMER - Warren Luff. Did a great job given his limited time in a V8 Supercar. Someone give him a drive, the kid is just going to get better and better.
