Retired two-time MotoGP champion Casey Stoner returned to two-wheels, after his Dunlop series debut in Adelaide, for the Top Gear Festival in the Aussie Speed Showdown, where he went head-to-head against Formula 1 driver Mark Webber and V8 Supercar champion Jamie Whincup in a special five lap race at the Sydney Motorsport Park, Australia.

Stoner rode a Honda CBR 1000RR Fireblade, while Webber was driving a 2011 Red Bull Formula 1 car and Whincup was behind the wheel of his V8 Holden Commodore.

As expected, even if he was given a 50 second start delay, Webber caught his two rivals and won the showdown, and he also smashed the Sydney Motorsport Park record in 1’15″218.
Stoner was able to win the Fish out of Water challenge against Craig Lowndes, where the two exchanged vehicles, Stoner driving the V8 Holden Commodore, while Lowndes was riding a Suzuki GSX-R 1000 prepared by Team Suzuki Australia.
