There’s no better way to quench thirst than with champagne and the whole Triple Eight crew did just that in Townsville. Three podium finishes and a long-awaited win for car 88 mark it as an event to remember from 2017, so here are our favourite snaps from the week that was.
Run, Forrest, run!
Run up Castle Hill, they said. It’ll be fun, they said…
You can always count on Townsville to shine…
Although it actually stopped shining on Monday, so we’d like to think the sun came out just for us.
… And then have some of the best sunsets anywhere
Headlights on, coming through!
Family time
They say three’s a crowd. We say three’s a family!
Eyes on the prize
These two winners did not take their eyes off the top step of that Townsville podium.
Fan boys!
These Working Class Men Lay Down Their (rattle) Guns when it got (almost, not really) Stone Cold after dark to Ride the Night Away with Jimmy Barnes. After all, there’s No Second Prize for anyone Going Down Alone.
Got your back
When you need a little boost to see over the wall to celebrate car 88’s first win for the year you can always count on super tall teammates like Dutto.
It’s on like Donkey Kong
We’re now halfway through the 2017 championship and it couldn’t be hotter at the top.
Those good old champagne showers
The only time it’s better to spray it, not say it.
It was all a blur
Overall, the week was one big blur. On to the next one!
