Australian GT: Adelaide Clipsal 500 19-22 March 2009

Thirty cars, three races, one victor - the Mosler Down Under story began with a rollercoaster first chapter featuring spills, thrills and a trio of race wins for the marque.

Craig Baird took the Mosler/Shell/Stahwille team to the top of the podium after each race of the Australian GT opening weekend in Adelaide. Pushed hard in each by the Porsche of David Wall, Baird made the most of the Mosler's muscle to notch up three victories. Race three saw Baird and Wall escape early from a pack that seemed to have a fatal attraction to the concrete and kitty-litter, with four cars failing to make it round the first lap. Wall traded top spot with Baird before the Mosler stamped its authority on the race and secured a trio of victories.

But the Adelaide weekend was bittersweet for Mosler Australia distributor John Teulan. He lost his Mosler on lap five of race one and didn't make it out onto the grid again.
