And from the back he made it up to third - pretty good.
He definitely is good on the road courses.

A great result for a road racer.
Fantastic results from Ambrose, it just goes to show that our V8 Supercar drivers are some of the best road Course drivers in the world. Ambrose in the Sprint Cup held off Montoya, at that stage Ambrose having no tires, no brakes and no clutch left (look at his restart speeds).
As for skills, these NASCAR drivers are mostly garbage in road courses but hats off to them for being the best drivers in an oval circuit. Ovals is very difficult to master and uses different skills to that of RC. Your ordinary F1 driver would have trouble being competitive in an oval.

Not really, just that Ambrose is a class driver. When he was here, there were less than half a dozen drivers on his level.
Both Montoya and Ambrose had barely any of their car left at the end, courtesy of starting away from the front. Ambroses poor restarts were apparently also caused by a very tall first gear.Ambrose in the Sprint Cup held off Montoya, at that stage Ambrose having no tires, no brakes and no clutch left (look at his restart speeds).
I'd hardly call them garbage. Their big mistake at times is to try and take lines around a circuit like they would still on an oval. Theres plenty of other road course specialists in the field that are also pretty handy on the ovals.As for skills, these NASCAR drivers are mostly garbage in road courses but hats off to them for being the best drivers in an oval circuit.

Thats still a very good hit rate considering that Marcos Ambrose beat F1's Kimi Raikkonen to the Formula Ford championship, and from what I gathered Ambrose was also fast compared with Jenson Button but hampered by a totally un-competitive Mygale chassis in French F3 and lack of budget. I would even say that Marcos Ambrose is a far better driver than Webber.

Did Marcos beat Kimi, yes or no?
Europeans normally have an easier ride when the championship is in their own back yards, Australians have difficulty funding their campaign and getting sponsorships.
