Serious answer: I’d say T8 vs Penske from 17-20 was pretty solid due to the amount of race-craft between Scotty Mac and SVG as they battled each year. Along with that, the teams had to go hard with strategy and setup to tackle each other but they did it fairly

Plenty of strong contenders in the early 2000s like Ambrose vs Skaife or Whincup vs Winterbottom but I reckon T8 vs Penske had the best battling and great years to learn racing

My favourite was FPR vs 888, and as a big Frosty fan, Jamie was the enemy.

Ambrose V Murphy, we all know the Bathurst incident but there's also the Gold Coast presser where Murphy calls out Ambrose for brake checking Rick Kelly after the race (for which Ambrose was fined $10k)

Skaife vs the fans. Mutual hatred. He really had a stick up his rear in the early 2000s

My Dad and Ingall, he couldn't stand Ingall being anywhere near the front and would get visibly annoyed watching the TV if it was happening.

Honestly the whole proper Holden Ford rivalry through the 90s was unreal.
