A significantly larger field arrived at t he second round of the Australian GT Championship in Adelaide for the Clipsal 500. Although Ross Lilley was the Lamborghini Gallardo camp’s lone fighter in Eastern Creek, he received support this time from debutant Mark Eddy, who had acquired the car of Bryce Washington. In qualifying the two matadors positioned themselves at the front of the field in 4th place (Lilley) and 6th place (Eddy).

In the first race over 11 laps Eddy showed that he is a quick learner. In front of 82,200 spectators on early Saturday morning the Australian finished fourth closely followed by brand team mate Ross Lilley. However, there was little time to relax between races as the second race of the weekend followed in the afternoon. Eddy and Lilley repeated their solid performances from the morning and finished in the same order in fourth and fifth positions respectively.

On Sunday the event organisers counted 91,700 motorsport fans filling the grandstands. A 12 lap sprint at 9:25 a.m. local time was on the Australian GT Championship agenda. The huge numbers of spectators would not be disappointed. Mark Eddy was able to improve on his excellent results harvested on his debut weekend and claimed the first podium finish in 2008 for Lamborghini in Australia. Ross Lilley held station behind and took the chequered flag in fourth position.

After two events and six races Ross Lilley now holds second place overall in the championship behind 2007 title holder Alan Simonsen in a Ferrari. Mark Eddy enters the series in sixth place.
