CRAIG LOWNDES

Biography:
A living legend of Supercars racing, Craig Lowndes has taken a large legion of fans on one of the most amazing rides in Australian motorsport history....

But beneath that ever-present gleaming Lowndes smile has always sat a spirited, hard-nosed racer programmed to win.

His numbers speak for themselves: seven Bathurst 1000 wins at the magical Mountain, three Australian Touring Car Championship crowns, three wins in the ‘500 across its various homes at Sandown, Queensland Raceway and Phillip Island, 110 championship race wins, including the inaugural Adelaide 500 – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

The modern era ‘people’s champion’ of tin top racing, Lowndes has transcended the sport like few before or since. His engaging, people-first approach has made him a fan favourite for nearly three decades.

Blooded by the Holden Racing Team and the poster boy for Commodore fans before a highly publicised swap to Ford, Lowndes has since become part of the furniture at Triple Eight Race Engineering.

He was a proven winner when he joined the Brisba

Profile

Supercars superstar Craig Lowndes bowed out of full-time competition at the end of a 2018 in which he claimed a seventh Bathurst victory. Lowndes announced his retirement mid-year, and the balance of the season through to the Newcastle finale was a celebration of his decorated career. He does not leave the scene – or Triple Eight – altogether, though, and will reunite with Jamie Whincup for the PIRTEK Enduro Cup.

From Formula Ford and Formula Holden, Lowndes burst onto the touring car scene in 1994 with the Holden Racing team, doing enough on debut at Sandown as a late call-up to then also replace Swede Rickard Rydell for Bathurst. Lowndes became a household name in that Great Race, launching an audacious pass for the lead on John Bowe in the closing stages and eventually finishing second.
