Lowndes wary of Ford's Bathurst response
A seventh Bathurst 1000 title is in Craig Lowndes' sights but the Supercars great fears he will end up in disgruntled rival Scott McLaughlin's rear-view mirror at Mount Panorama.
Lowndes, 44, can join Jim Richards as just the second man to conquer the Great Race seven times in his last appearance as a full-time driver at his beloved Bathurst track on October 7.
And Lowndes, who won his first Bathurst 22 years ago, was expected to move a step closer to Peter Brock's record nine victories this year after his Triple Eight Holden team dominated the opening enduro, sweeping the recent Sandown 500 podium.
