Homebush Uber Star 2009 24 hour Le Mans winner David Brabham quickly comes to grips with the John Cooper Works race car.

The MINI Challenge field relished racing against a Brabham; David was the man to beat.

Champions need their quiet time; David Brabham relaxs with Tolstoy.

For those racing David Brabham they rarely see the front of him, make a mental note.

The paddock is the scene of almost as much drama as the track at times. This isn't one of those times.

A shot for the sponsors.

It's business time.

David Brabham at the office, "hold my calls".

The money shot.

Through the chicane and on a mission.

David was gracious in his praise of the weekend and of the calibre of the competition. He is holding a MINI miniature race car.

Nathan Caratti and Glory team racing were quick all weekend.

I don't know about you, but I think MINI Challenge racecars look hot.

Whoopsey daisy!

Take that Brabham! Caratti comes out in front.

BJ Cook is just a good ole boy, taking his inspiration from the dukes.

This car looks fast even when its going fast.

What can we say, there is something cool with this angle.

The DecoRug team were everywhere at Homebush, they're hard to miss, they're generally at the front.

It was Glenn Seton's round. 1st in Race 1 and 3.

Good looking car from the front, his fellow racers saw it mostly from the back.

Turn in, accelerate, easy.

Trivett Classic MINI Garage supported Glenn and "The Chris" at Sydney and they paid it back with a 1st and 2nd for the round.

Hip Hip Hooray. The MINI Challenge podium from the Sydney 500 at Homebush.

There are battles within battles throughout the field. We call this one The Brothers Sherrin.

It's all about the details.

Iain Sherrin v. Grant Sherrin, good natured I'm sure, Iain is behind the wheel here.

Brothers that race together...

Stay together.

Who is the man? Paul Stokell is!
