2021 Supercars Australian Touring Car Champion 2000 Holden VT Commodore Stamp and Coin Cover PNC
Description
With younger teammate Craig Lowndes nipping at his heels in Holden Racing Team, Mark Skaife had something to prove in 2000 - despite already having two ATCC wins under his belt. The pair drove the VT - the first iteration of the third-generation Commodore - which was longer and wider than the VS and had a large 5.0-litre VS engine producing 455kW of power.
Ultimately, it was Skaife who was able to secure the overall title win and break Lowndes' three-peat attempt, with Lowndes then defecting to Ford at the end of the season. Interestingly, 2000 was also the start of Skaife's own successful three-peat campaign, taking out the championship from 2000 to 2002.
The Holden VT Commodore postal numismatic cover is limited to just 6,500, featuring a pictorial envelope with the stamp and Holden VT Commodore tab from the 60 Years of Supercars stamp pack and an uncirculated coin from the Royal Australian Mint.
