THINK FINKE The Queen’s Birthday weekend in June is home to the Finke Desert Race in Alice Springs, with the 41st edition of the event set to be the best one yet. Legends of the 2016 Tatts Finke Desert Race return this year with an amazing array of accolades. Reigning Finke ‘King of the Desert’ Champion Toby Price has become the first Australian to win the Dakar Rally. While seven-time Australian Off Road Champion and five-time Finke Desert Race winner Mark Burrows has recently been inducted into the Australian Motor Sport Hall of Fame, alongside 29 other motoring greats.
Burrows, with co-driver Colin Hodge, will be competing in a MBR Jimco, but will face a class field in the Pro Buggy division. There are previous Finke winners such as Shannon and Ian Rentsch (Jimco Buggy) and Hayden Bentley and Ben Chivell (Racer Engineering Buggy) together with the likes of Travis Robinson (Jimco OBR), Mathew Kittle (Jimco), Chris Coulthard (Jimco), and Jack Rhodes/David Pullino (Jimco). Other crews competing for outright honours will come from the Extreme two-wheel-drive not exceeding 6000cc class with former winners Greg Gartner (Ford F150), Brad Gallard/Scott Modistach (Geiser Brothers TT) and David Fellows (Jimco TT), together with Billy Geddes (Geiser Brothers TT) in their fearsome Trophy Trucks.

Competition will also be high throughout the smaller classes, and the Production four-wheel-drive field will have added interest courtesy of an entry by Mazda with a BT-50 model driven by second generation motoring journalist Toby Hagon lining up against Geoff Pickering’s Mitsubishi Pajero. Prologue to establish the start order will be held on an eight-kilometre circuit at the Alice Springs start complex on June 11, before the first stage from Alice Springs on June 12.

K IN G OF THE D E S E RT Originally the Finke was only a bike race, but its increasing popularity saw the inevitable introduction of cars and off road buggies in 1988. A fierce rivalry then began between the two and four wheeled competitors – as the buggies were keen to claim the outright winner of the ‘King of the Desert’. For 11 consecutive years the bikes were too quick for the cars, despite the gap constantly narrowing. In 1999, a buggy returned home first to claim the outright honour. In 2005, the title was changed to see two ‘Kings of the Desert’, one for cars and one for bikes, with each picking up $10,000 in prize money.

ABOUT FINKE... The Finke is known as Australia’s greatest desert race, and has international credibility alongside the Dakar and Baja. The desert race is an off road, multi terrain two-day event, that sees competitors race through desert country from Alice Springs to the small Aputula (Finke) Community. Over two days, 600 competitors will race over 460km, with drivers and riders vying for the title, the ‘King of the Desert’.

M C LAREN’S TRIUMPH Mc Laren has made history after taking out the first win in the CAMS Australian Endurance Championship. Grant Denyer and Nathan Morcom have combined to win the first race of the CAMS Australian Endurance Championship, holding on in a nail-biting finish at Phillip Island. Morcom led a narrow McLaren 1-2 finish, with Shane van Gisbergen just two-tenths of a second behind after 101 laps and more than two hours of racing. Having started tenth, a patient 30-lap opening first stint from Morcom left Denyer out front following their first stop, with the duo combining to hold the advantage to the finish. van Gisbergen led the opening stages of the race, fending off advances of Bruno Spengler, Craig Baird and Miguel Molina. Charging from seventh to second, Baird applied intense pressure to van Gisbergen before they both stopped for the first compulsory pitstops after 21 laps. Scott Taylor took over from Baird at the first stop, while Klark Quinn stepped into the McLaren for the middle part of the race, with Tony Bates replacing Miguel Molina in the #1 Audi. Bates’ challenge came to an end with a puncture 59 laps before the end, with the #1 Audi eventually rallying back to seventh at the flag. The sister Melbourne Performance Centre prepared Audi of Garth Tander and Stephen McLaughlan also had their charge up the field blunted late in the race.
At the front, Denyer managed a 15-second advantage for much of his stint. That gap opened to more than 30-seconds after the second round of pit stops when Denyer handed the car back to Morcom for the run to the flag. Having run second during the middle-phase of the race, Peter Hackett was unable to resist the hard-charging Daniel Gaunt, with the Darrell Lea Aston Martin driver racing his way towards the race leading McLaren. Gaunt was forced to pit for a splash-and-dash with just nine laps remaining, promoting the Dominic Storey/Peter Hackett Mercedes back into second with a looming van Gisbergen in third. In the dying stages of the 101 lap race, lap traffic soon became an issue for Morcom as he was charging his way out front from a racey van Gisbergen who had moved into second place. Morcom held out the Darrell Lea driver by just 0.27s at the flag. Storey clinched third for the Eggleston Motorsport crew. In the invitational class Jack Smith and Nicholas Rowe combined to take the Invitational Class in a race that ran without interruption from start to finish. The next round of the Australian Endurance Championship takes place at Sydney Motorsport Park on 26-28 August.

ANNUAL REPORT 2015
CAMS RECORDS SURPLUS AND GROWTH IN 2015
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport has unveiled its 2015 Annual Report, revealing a surplus of over $400,000 backed by a third consecutive year of growth in number of licence holders, permitted events and clubs. CAMS Chief Executive Officer Eugene Arocca said the CAMS Group is in a strong position thanks to prudent management by the administration and the growth of new and traditional revenue streams. “I am pleased to report that the CAMS Group has recorded a surplus of $406,659 in 2015 and hence has achieved over $900,000 in surpluses from 2012 to 2015,” said Arocca. “Our revenue growth has been steady in recent years and has increased by over $9.2 million since 2012, exceeding $20 million for the first time ever in 2015. “This growth has been achieved through acquisitions, new business ventures and growth of core revenues.” Arocca said that CAMS’ 2015 financial results, coupled with the 2014 Ernst & Young report into the economic impact of motor sport in Australia demonstrates the significance of the motor sport industry. “We are at the centre of a huge, $2.7 billion industry, and CAMS’ continued growth allows us to broaden our role
8
in government advocacy and engagement, ensuring that motor sport receives recognition for the major contribution it makes to the Australian economy.” Just as pleasing as CAMS’ financial growth is the growth in the sport, Arocca continued. “This is the third year of consecutive strong growth and pleasingly, this growth has been driven by grassroots motor sport,” said Arocca. “Competitor licence holders were up by 4.55%, permitted events up by 8.7% and the number of affiliated clubs was up by 7.8% - with 51 clubs affiliating for the first time in 2015. “We have also achieved significant growth in officials’ licences since 2013 (from 8,000 to 9,374), in particular through major increases in junior officials and women participating as officials.” Research conducted in 2015 revealed that there are 75,422 CAMS affiliated car club members in Australia. “Every single one of those 75,422 affiliated car club members are part of the CAMS community,” said Arocca. “It is for every one of these members that CAMS continues to work hard to achieve our mission - to have more people enjoying more motor sport.”

TIM SCHENKEN VISITS FERRARI
Former Grand Prix driver and current CAMS Director of Racing Operations Tim Schenken has reunited with many of his former colleagues as part of a gathering with the Grand Prix Drivers Club. Of particular note was a tour of the current Ferrari and Maserati facilities, with Schenken once again walking the hallowed ground of Maranello after previously being a factory sports car driver with the marque in 1972 and 1973. “Sure I realised the significance of it at the time, but by no means did I really understand until now when I look back,” Schenken said. “It’s a completely different factory now. The old factory, the front part, the offices still remain. The production part, of course, is no longer there.” “When I was racing for Ferrari we used to test at Fiorano which was basically just down the road. If the mechanics were doing any major changes, we used to go back to the factory and just have a wander around the production line, free to walk in and around.
Schenken was among good company during a dinner with former Grand Prix drivers and the Vice President of Ferrari. “We had an official dinner with Ferrari and I sat at the head table with Piero Ferrari,” Schenken said. “In the days when I was racing for Ferrari, Piero was actually the illegitimate son of Enzo. Because Enzo was still married, Piero couldn’t be seen as his official son hence he had the surname of his mother (Lardi). A lot of the Ferrari people didn’t really mix with him but my wife Brigitte and I did. “John Surtees was there. John was the only driver to have won a world championship on two-wheels and fourwheels, so that makes him very special. Other notables, Derek Bell – multiple Le Mans winner, Howden Ganley – exFormula 1 driver, Derek Warwick – ex-Formula 1 driver and President of the BRDC, Vern Schupann – Le Mans winner and Porsche factory driver, and others.”
“The cars were really hand-built in those days, but today it’s mostly robots. It’s quite incredible the investment they have there.”

HALL OF FAME PHIL IRVING Irving remained in the UK until 1949 when he returned home to Australia. In 1963, Jack Brabham asked him to design a Formula 1 grand prix engine for the 1966 3.0 litre formula. This is where Phil’s clever thinking merged wonderfully with his technical knowledge.The engine was built around the 3.5-litre Oldsmobile V8 cylinder block design and became known as the RB620. Phil headed a tiny team of Australians working on an engine that was destined to take on the world and win.
Philip Edward Irving lived richly for 89 years, from 1903 to 1992. Irving was the son of a medical doctor who had a 600 square-mile practice in Western Victoria which he travelled around using a Swift car and two motorcycles, a belt-drive Triumph and a four-cylinder FN. Due to a lack of local repair facilities, Dr. Irving performed all the maintenance at home. After three years attendance at Wesley College, Phil Irving obtained a scholarship to Melbourne Technical College studying Mechanical and Electrical Engineering where he designed and partially made his first engine, a small air-cooled two-stroke. He didn’t finish the course or the engine, leaving early on the strength of his college studies and accomplishments to take his first job. Irving’s first engineering job started in 1922 working for Australian engineers Anthony Michell and T.L. Sherman. Irving said: “It was the greatest stroke of luck imaginable that I started work under two such eminent men...”. Between 1926 and 1929 Irving jointly owned and operated a motorcycle workshop in Ballarat, with Ken Granter. As the economic climate harshened in 1929 business at the shop slumped and it was forced to close. Phil headed to England in 1930 where he worked in various roles writing books and magazine articles as well as designing at both Velocette and Vincent HRD. It was at Vincent that he designed the wonderful 1000cc V-twin engine for the classic post-war Vincents. The engine dominated speedway sidecar racing for decades.
Which, famously, it did. Two world Drivers’ and two Constructors’ championships in two years for Repco, Jack Brabham and his team, all of whom had never done anything like it before. In 1949 Irving became Vice-President of the Vincent HRD Owners Club and continued in that role until the death of Phil Vincent in 1979 when he rose to President (an honorary title). Irving held the presidency until his death on 14 January 1992. Irving was awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in the Queen’s 1976 New Year Honours List for his “services to automotive engineering”. In 1994 CAMS instituted the Phil Irving Award in honour of his remarkable achievements, recognising outstanding skill and achievement by an individual Australian engineer or Australian engineering company devoted to serving and positively contributing to competitive motor sport.

THIRD-GENERATION BRABHAM COMPLETES INDY 500
“Let’s hope we can have an opportunity to do more again.” Despite the attention of running as a third-generation Brabham aboard an Australian supported entry, Brabham was humbled by the experience of carrying on a family legacy. “I think being a third-generation racer here is fantastic and I’m very honoured,” Brabham told motorsport.com
Third-generation Brabham driver Matthew Brabham has completed his maiden Indianapolis 500 with the Australian supported PIRTEK Team Murray entry.
“I think, at the end of the day, my family name has never put extra pressure on me. If anything, it’s been more of a relief because everyone in my family has been through racing and understands the pressures that go with it. I think it’s more of a support base than anything.”
Matthew emulated his legendary grandfather Sir Jack and father Geoff as an entrant of the iconic race, having previously finished as high as second in the Indy Lights event in 2014.
2014 IndyCar Champion Will Power was the best placed Australian in tenth aboard his Penske-Chevrolet.
The 22-year-old rookie was strong throughout the race and was edging his way forward, solidly in the top 15 and the top rookie until a late fuel stop dropped him down the order. Ultimately, he crossed the line in 22nd position.
“We were on the same strategy as Rossi but he was getting better fuel mileage and quicker lap times. It was really tough trying to save fuel those last 15 laps and keep our speed within the traffic.”
“It is incredible to think that we finished this race, out there was a little surreal to be honest,” Brabham said.
Alex Rossi meanwhile became the first rookie in 15 years to claim the win, with the Andretti-Herta Honda crossing the line five seconds ahead of Carlos Munoz after 200 laps.
“It was an amazing experience to be in the 100th Indy 500 race and now I can say that I have finished the Indianapolis 500 and am the third generation of Brabham to do that.

“It was pretty hectic as we went to the back and then the front again. We tried to save fuel at the end,” Power said.

CAMS Jayco Australian Formula 4 graduate Thomas Randle became the first Australian racer to win a British Formula 3 race since Scott Pye in 2011 at Rockingham earlier this month.
After three rounds, the young Tasmanian driver leads the standings by 365 points after claiming a double-podium finish at the most recent round in Paul Ricard, with a win in race one a highlight.
“It’s really awesome to finally get the monkey off my back and hopefully we can get some more victories real soon,” Randle said.
“My car got better as the race went on, and I was able to pull out a lead to the finish. The second and third races were difficult,” Peroni said.
At the most recent round at Oulton Park, Randle secured a second place in race one followed by a seventh and second place during Monday’s two Bank Holiday races.
“Anyway I increased my lead in the championship, so I’m happy about that!”

LUIS LEEDS BRITISH F4
ANTHONY MARTIN USF2000
Red Bull Junior driver Luis Leeds claimed his, and his team’s, first victory in the 2016 British Formula 4 championship at Thruxton.
Kalgoorlie driver Anthony Martin has claimed his second USF2000 win of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway at Indianapolis.
Leeds claimed a brilliant win in a dramatic race, taking the lead in the early stages of the race and hanging on to the win despite two safety car interruptions.
Martin currently lies second in the overall standings, and is only 26 points behind championship leader Parker Thompson.
“I hope this is the first win of many. My goal is the championship this year and a win like this helps a lot,” Leeds said.
Fellow Australian Jordan Lloyd also sits third in the standings behind Martin. “This championship is going to be intense and I have to take every risk I can to get every point I can, and getting the win here really gives me confidence,” Martin said. “Moving up through the Mazda Road to Indy, you race on more and more oval tracks so to get my first win on a track like Lucas Oil Raceway is great.”

RALLY/OFF ROAD
REEVES RESURRECTS AT CANBERRA Reeves was absent for the first round, and was pleased to take the win. “It’s a fantastic feeling to win at Canberra again … we had a tough day but hung in there and put ourselves in a good position,” Reeves said. “Everything ran perfectly for us and I felt really comfortable in the car, so to win the heat and the overall event is amazing.”
Brendan Reeves and Rhianon Gelsomino have bounced back from gearbox issues on the opening stage to win heat two and take out the win at round two of the Kumho Tyre Australian Rally Championship at the National Capital Rally in Canberra. Heat one winners Simon Evans/Ben Searcy were under pressure from Reeves, and made a mistake going wide on the second leg, putting their Subaru in a ditch. Courtesy of another competitor Craig Brookes, Reeves and the team replaced their regular gearbox for the stage and continued through with the win for the round.
Nathan Quinn/David Calder had a solid weekend to finish second in the heat and runner-up for the round, with Evans charging back in the afternoon stages to claim third for the weekend, just ahead of Molly Taylor/ Bill Hayes and Tom Wilde/Toni Feaver who finished equal fourth.

PROPOSED NEW OFF ROAD BUGGY CLASS SURVEY A proposal to introduce a buggy class between the Pro-Lite and Super 1650 classes has been presented to the Off Road Commission. After feedback from competitors the Off Road Commission approved the proposal in principle.
Since the proposal was accepted in principal a suggestion has been put forward to increase the engine capacity to 2750cc and allow forced induction engines to accommodate 160cc turbo engines which are available in some currently sold vehicles.
The basis of the original proposal is that:
The original proposal received a positive response from competitors but now the Commission is seeking further feedback as to whether the original parameters accepted should be extended to 2750cc capacity and also permit forced induction engines.
• Buggies engines are up to 2550cc in capacity and are naturally aspirated 4 cylinders • The vehicles can be either single or a twin seater. The above requirements are simple, there are a large number of car manufacturers currently selling vehicles with engines, that fit into the class and the class aligns more or less with the American Class 10 which would allow competitors to access these second hand cars.

WET AND WILD QUIT TARGA SOUTH WEST RALLY
Despite unfavourable weather conditions for the 2016 Targa South West, the enjoyment of tarmac rallying on some of Pemberton and Manjimup’s most picturesque roads remained. Going into the event, Will White was leading the points table for the WA Targa Cup and was looking to further extend his lead. The slippery road conditions quickly took their toll on several teams - none in more spectacular style than the R33 Nissan Skyline of Denver Parker and Lachlan Beresford who found themselves upside down in a creek bed. “We came into a corner and just pinched the front brakes, from there we found ourselves very quickly skating across the road,” Beresford said. “Denver tried to grab the handbrake and turn it in but the car wouldn’t cooperate. We caught the edge of the bridge, cleared the creek and it then rolled onto its lid.” Simon Gunson and Murray Armenti in the Capri Perana led the Competition Classic at the end of the first day and did not look back. 2015’s Targa West winner Peter Major and Kim Screigh finished close behind in their Porsche 911RS. Will White was on a stage winning streak at the beginning of day two, until SS17 when a rotor on his Mitsubishi shattered. Mark Greenham and Mandy Lister managed to hang onto their lead to cross the finish line as outright winners, with Greenham also accruing points for the WA Targa Cup.

DEVELOPMENT
WAMS JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM OPEN
After four successful seasons of the Junior Development Scholarship, the Women of Australian Motor Sport has opened applications for the latest 2016/2017 program. The program offers one up-and-coming female junior driver each season the chance to learn the necessary tools on and off the track to strengthen their chances of a successful career in motor sport including media training, fitness, sports psychology and potentially CAMS Academy camps to develop their driving skills. Past recipients include off-road racer Kristy Hedley (2012/13), European GT4 Series racer Caitlin Wood (2013/2014), WA Formula Ford driver Tayla Dicker (2014/2015) and outgoing recipient Alexandra Whitley (2015/16). “The biggest thing for me was that the exposure the program gave me meant that I had a lot more people that I didn’t know approaching me at race tracks and asking me questions about the program,” Dicker said.
“This forced me to learn how to better talk to and engage with people I don’t know, who sometimes are prospective sponsors … talking was always something I struggled with but now I feel much more confident. “The opportunity to work with Karen Smythe from Speak Up For Sport was very beneficial for my ability to approach sponsors and people in general. “I also found just the exposure was invaluable as it got my name out to a wider audience and gained interest that consequently lead to some sponsorship. “But generally the support from the women at WAMS, it’s amazing to have the support from very experienced women in the sport and can provide the best advice.” For full terms and conditions, and the official application form, head to the WAMS website: www.wams.org.au.

KARTING AUSTRALIA RELEASES STRATEGIC PLAN Karting Australia has completed and released its Strategic Plan for the years 2016-2018. It creates a clear direction for Karting Australia’s future and will see karting hold a long-term position of prominence in the Australian motor sport landscape. Having been developed across the first two years since the “Company Limited by Guarantee” structure was implemented and following the comprehensive review of karting in Australia under direction of the Karting Australia Board, it sets the priorities for the sport and recognises the shared responsibility for the development of the sport in the years ahead. The plan prioritises the creation of exciting, fair and safe competition, growth and development, cultural improvement and best practice governance.
20
These priorities will be accompanied by the focus on creating financial stability and security to allow appropriate development plans to be prepared and implemented while creating sustainable growth. Karting Australia Chairman Mick Doohan said that the Strategic Plan is a “living document” that will be regularly reviewed with the realignment of priorities as and when the need is identified.’ “Over the past two years there has been a lot of work put into this Strategic Plan to ensure Karting Australia has a clear direction for the future,” Doohan said. “The priorities in this document will continually be reviewed by the Board and Staff of Karting Australia to ensure all of our goals are being met.” The full version can be found by clicking HERE

KREMERS LEADS PATRIZICORSE TRIFECTA
ROUND 3 AUSTRALIAN KARTING CHAMPIONSHIP MONARTO, SA
Dutchman Marijn Kremers broke through for his maiden victory in Australia by leading home a Patrizcorse trifecta at Round Three of the Australian Kart Championship. Kremers led home a Patirizcorse team trifecta in the KZ2 final with Troy Loeskow and Chris Hays joining the Ricciardo Kart pilot on the podium. It is the first time in the history of the Championship that three drivers from the same team have filled the podium. Kremers set the pace for the majority of the weekend in the X30 class only to be led across the line by Leigh Nicolaou in the final. A post-race driving infringement penalty for Nicolaou handed the win to Kremers ahead of Zac Soutar and Adam Lindstrom with Nicolaou classified fourth. Gold Coast teenager Jack Doohan moved to the top of the Championship standings in the KA2 class with a faultless display in Monarto. Local driver Ben Delaney was one of the front-runners in the KA3 Senior class across the weekend. After enjoying victory in the final heat race, he then showed his opposition a clean pair of heels in the final to cross the line first ahead of Cody Donald and Matthew McLean. Following a strong showing at the previous round in Puckapunyal, Shamick Racing youngster Harry Arnett continued his improvement this weekend in Monarto to battle for the Cadet 9 victory. Jay Hanson, Beau Harris and Joshua Smith enjoyed a three-way battle in the KA4 Junior final before Hanson held on for the win. Queenslander Brendan Nelson secured his third consecutive round win in the TaG 125 class aboard his FA Kart. Shamick Racing’s Kai Allen was nothing short of dominant all across the weekend in the Cadet 12 class. Allen won every race across the weekend and crossed the line 4.7 seconds clear of Fletcher Harris in the final.

OFFICIALS
VICTORIAN FLAG MARSHALLING TEAM
CAMS recently caught up with the Promotions Officer of the Victorian Flag Marshalling Team David Thornbury, taking us through the history of the team and what is involved in becoming a flag marshal. SR: How long has the Victorian Flag Marshalling Team been around for? DT: The club is actually celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. I was recently given some background as to how the club came about. Prior to the clubs formation, flag marshals in Victoria were supplied by the VADC (Victorian Amateur Drivers Club). However most were not members of the VADC, but of other car clubs not necessarily affiliated with CAMS and therefore not covered by CAMS Officials Insurance. Many of the flag marshals had already discussed forming a specialised club, and during 1985-86 a number of meetings were held with the relevant stakeholders to explore how this might work and what was needed to make it happen. In time, after much hard work, a decision was made to form what is now known as the Victorian Flag Marshalling Team.
22
Equipment was donated to the club by the VADC, and the original committee included a number of people still familiar in motor sport officiating circles. Roger Chirnside (President), Keith Alexander (Vice President), Mike Stansbury (Secretary), Barry Peterson (Treasurer & Asst. Chief), Paul Renn (Grade 2 Rep), and Lance Jenner (Grade 3 Rep), Alan Krahe (Chief Flag Marshal), Russell Begg and Peter Husband (Asst. Chief) and Rod Gorphine (Training Officer). SR: What does a day in the life of a flag marshal involve? DT: The primary role of a flag marshal is to provide information to competitors via coloured flags or light panel systems. This might be advising drivers they are about to be passed/overtaken, warning that there is danger ahead, or that there has been a change to the racing surface. However, the role involves a lot more than simply displaying flags. We are also required to closely observe the race cars for any defects, such as leaking fluid or loose body work that might become a problem, and where there is an incident or accident we need to ensure
CONFEDERATION OF AUSTRALIAN MOTOR SPORT
these are reported to race control so that appropriate action can be taken ‌ or we might be called upon to assist with fire and rescue or vehicle recovery and track clean up. All in all, no two days are ever the same as a flag marshal. You will always have new experiences, deal with different situations, and improve your skills as a motor sport official in some way. SR: How long have you been a flag marshal for, and what is your role with the Victorian Flag Marshalling team? DT: I have been a member of the club for five years now, with an additional two years of flag marshalling in New Zealand. I am currently working towards an internal VFT upgrade, that if successful will see me more involved in providing training and event management for the club.
We are always looking for new members, and people are often surprised with just how easy it is to become a flag marshal, with no prior experience or qualifications needed. The only real requirements we have is that you are over 16 and have a basic level of fitness to cope with a day in the elements. I would really encourage anyone with an interest in the sport to give officiating a go. Whether it be with the VFT in Victoria, or one of the other CAMS affiliated clubs around the country. I’m sure after your first race meeting that you will be hooked for life. Anyone in Victoria who is interested in trying flag marshal should email the Victorian flag marshalling Team with his or her contact details to info@vicflag.org.au
Aside from my trackside activities, I am also on the VFT committee. In that role my focus is on the promotional activities of the club, managing its social media accounts, along with representing the club on the CAMS Victorian State Council. SR: How does someone get involved with your club, and more importantly become a flag marshal? DT: The VFT is well set up to help those interested in getting involved in motor sport as an official. We have a dedicated induction team who will provide you with all the information and support you need to start out as a flag marshal with the club. Once you are settled into the club, our training team will help you to further develop your skills and guide you through the CAMS official licencing processes. The club attends almost 30 events per year at Winton, Phillip Island and Sandown. Events range from club/ multi-club meetings, through to the State and National series, right up to the three Victorian Supercars rounds.
