	Tander west's local hero \| The Daily Telegraph
		Tander had never before won a race, let alone a round of the V8 championship, in his home state of Western Australia.
		The three wins moved Tander to second in the V8 Supercar championship behind his Toll HSV teammate Rick Kelly who, for the most part of the weekend, was his only rival.
		Garth Tander (foreground) notched a winning treble when he led the V8 field home in all three races of the second round at Perth.

	Tander back on pole - Motorsport - Sport - theage.com.au
		HOLDEN V8 driver Garth Tander went out early in the top-10 shootout for the Sandown 500, posted a slick time of one minute 10.8817 seconds, and defied the championship series superstars to gamble on tyre and car combinations in changeable weather to run him down.
		It was at Queensland Raceway in 2000 when Tander last occupied pole position, coincidentally in the same endurance classic which, at the time, had been shifted north to a circuit close to Ipswich.
		Tander was on the podium in Darwin and at Queensland Raceway, and was close in the previous round at Oran Park.

	Tander claims first blood for 2000
		Garth Tander gave the Garry Rogers Commodore team a strong opening to the season when he won the opening round of the Shell Championship Series at Phillip Island at the weekend.
		Tander finished second in both of the 45-minute races which made up the round; Saturday's race was won - almost predictably - by Craig Lowndes who nevertheless had to work hard to finish ahead of Tander, but the Holden Racing Team driver had an engine overheat in the second race and was forced to withdraw.
		However, Tander's pair of second places was sufficient to place him at the top of the title table, ahead of the Holden Racing Team's Mark Skaife, who finished the weekend with two thirds.

		Tander has been co-opted to drive the Great Race in Holdenâs main factory car which, on a weekend dedicated to the late Peter Brock, will be the sentimental favourite.
		Tander has been paired with Skaife for the endurance segment of the V8 Supercar championship to protect the lofty positions he and regular Toll HSV teammate Rick Kelly occupy in the championship standings.
		Tander says it is easily the most challenging of the circuits in Australia and exacts the maximum degree of concentration on each lap.

	WE'LL BE BACK AND FIRING FOR CHINESE FANS, SAY KELLY AND TANDER - Motorsport News for New Zealand
		Drivers Rick Kelly and Garth Tander both vowed to return to the magnificent Shanghai International Circuit next year, better prepared and determined to put on the premium performance that eluded the team in the inaugural V8 Supercar round in China.
		Tander also shot out of the blocks, making up several places on the first lap, to seventh place, but then it all went pear-shaped when a rival slammed into the back of Steven Johnson's Falcon, pushing it into Tander's #16 Commodore and spinning him at the hairpin.
		Tander made steady forward progress throughout the final race, making up 10 places to finish 12th, despite losing radio communication and copping a dented mudguard that required some hammer work at the pit stop.

		Positions after that were shuffled somewhat; Tander was 2nd, Skaife 3rd, Radisich 4th and Lowndes 5th.

	Bargwanna wins at Winton
		It was heartbreak for Ford star Glenn Seton, frustration for Holden hero Craig Lowndes, disappointment for championship chasing Garth Tander and relief for title trailblazer Mark Skaife after Jason Bargwanna escaped the on-track confusion to win a sensational round of the Shell Championship series at Winton Raceway yesterday afternoon.
		The win, along with a sixth in the first heat and third in race two, was enough to give Bargwanna victory on the day from Falcon driver Radisich, whose seventh and sixth place finishes in the earlier heats helped push him into second place in the round.
		The round win by Bargwanna means that Holdens have captured the past 16 rounds of the touring car championship, eclipsing the previous 15 in a row record posted by the all-conquering Ford Sierras a decade ago.
