Mark Berry wins 2009 sprintBathurst Outright
The outright winner of sprintBathurst 2009 is Mark Berry in his Nissan Skyline GTR R34.
Mark's best time was 2:13.7080, a full 3.55 seconds clear of the next fastest car and 5.08 seconds under the sprint lap record set in 2007. This is a very impressive effort considering the quality of the field and the fact that the R34 rebuild is still a work in progress.
Mark is from Queensland and now has back to back outright sprintBathurst wins on just his second visit to the Mountain. We hear he'd like to make it three in a row and that plans are already underway for a title defence in 2010.
The conditions at sprintBathurst 2008 may have favoured the 4WD cars but 2009 was (very) warm and sunny and produced an entirely different podium shared by all three eastern states. Second place outright went to Shane Smollen from NSW in his Porsche 997 Cup Car and third to Sean Cussell from VIC in his 2007 Ferrari 430 Challenge.
Congratulations to Mark, Shane and Sean - a full list of the outright results is available here.
