, a difficult day on Sunday with a spin in the final race saw the lead revert to Tander who won the round. Whincup then had a disappointing weekend at Desert 400
at the Bahrain International Circuit

He became close to becoming a 3 time champion, the next triple champion in a row after Mark Skaife
from 2000–2002 and the second man to win the driver's championship in both a Ford and a Holden after Norm Beechey
, but due to a multi car crash in the 25th race of the season at the Sydney Telstra 500 in wet weather his car was badly damaged and couldn't continue. In the 26th and final race of the season he was out of reach to score enough points to take back the lead from James Courtney
