CASTROL EDGE ROOKIE TODD HAZELWOOD WINS SHANNONS SUPERCAR SHOWDOWN South Australian teenager Todd Hazelwood was awarded with a drive in the final round of the 2013 Dunlop V8 Supercar Series after winning the Castrol EDGE-backed Shannons Supercar Showdown reality television contest last year.

The 18-year-old toughed out eight weeks of fierce competition, beating seven other up and coming drivers, to be crowned as the winner of the 2013 Shannons Supercar Showdown competition. As part of the top prize, Hazelwood was also rewarded with an opportunity to test drive with his beloved Ford Performance Racing team.

Unfortunately the youngster endured a Dunlop V8 Supercar Series debut to forget as a qualifying accident with Steve Owen

saw his damaged car sidelined for both races in Sydney. Hazelwood may have failed to gain any V8 race experience on his outing with Minda Motorsport at Sydney, but he says there were plenty of positives to take.

“There were a lot of positives I have taken from it. To race on a street circuit like Homebush is very demanding and I learnt a lot,” he said. “To drive a V8 Supercar is something I will never forget. I don’t think I made a complete disgrace of myself and I was there and thereabouts in the times.

I’m focussing on the positives and trying not to get too down on what happened. It was pretty tough to get over it initially.”

Hazelwood will join FPR in 2014 to take up his testing role with the team.

CASTROL EDGE AND BMW WIN DTM MANUFACTURERS’ CROWN The Castrol EDGE-backed BMW DTM team clinched the manufacturers’ title for a second successive year with a sensational win at an action-packed season finale at Hockenheim. Augusto Farfus – who drives the Castrol EDGEliveried BMW M3 DTM – secured second in the drivers’ standings.

BMW Motorsport can look back on five race wins in its second season since returning to the DTM – more than any other manufacturer. Farfus stood on the top step of the podium on three occasions (Hockenheim I, Oschersleben, Zandvoort), while Spengler (Spielberg) and Glock (Hockenheim II) both triumphed once.

The four pole positions were claimed by Spengler (Spielberg, Hockenheim II), Farfus (Nürburgring) and Wittmann (Zandvoort). BMW also set four fastest race laps, courtesy

2013 V8 Supercars Championship Standings

2013 V8 SUPERCARS CHAMPIONSHIP REVIEW In the 2013 V8 Supercars Championship the competition was fierce with four drivers still in championship contention heading into the final round - two of which were racing behind the wheel of Castrol EDGE-oiled factory Fords.

The championship win was agonisingly close and while 2013 did not eventuate into a championship win for Castrol it did see Mark Winterbottom and Steve Richards claim victory at the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.

Driving on Castrol oil the #5 Ford of Winterbottom took the factory driver to his maiden Bathurst victory as he and Richards hoisted the Peter Brock trophy high above the podium at Mount Panorama. The victory also marked the first in the 11 year history of the Castrolbacked Ford Performance Racing outfit.

The win takes Castrol oil to a record 18 Bathurst victories at the mountain, a feat not bettered by any other oil.

Rick Kelly finished as the highest Castrol-backed Nissan Motorsport driver in the 2013 V8 Supercars Championship – the return year for Nissan in top-level Australian touring car racing. Kelly was the most consistent of the Nissan Altima drivers across the course of the year, taking 12 top-10 results and finishing inside the top half of the field. Sydney 500, the final round of the year, marked a

STRENGTH TO PERFORM

special moment in the career of Russell Ingall – a man who started, and has now finished – his full time V8 Supercars career on Castrol oil. Ingall bowed out of full time V8 Supercars racing in Sydney with a solid top-10 finish and a credible 14th in the championship despite a rocky year, which was highlighted by a podium result at the Armor All Gold Coast 600.

In 2014 V8 Supercars will enjoy a 16 event schedule with a return to Sydney Motorsport Park as a new addition to the calendar.

HAYS WINS THE BATTLE, HANSSEN THE WAR! For the second consecutive year, Chris Hays was victorious at the final round of the Castrol EDGE CIK Stars of Karting Series, but it wasn’t enough to stop Joey Hanssen from taking the title to the Netherlands. In taking the title, the 21-year-old Dutchman becomes the first international racer to win a CIK Stars of Karting Championship.

After dominating the heat races, Hanssen confirmed his stranglehold on the Jon Pizarro Trophy in the first final at the final round - his seventh final victory of the 2013 season. In the second final though, Hays took it to the 2011 World Cup Champion before speeding away with his second round win of the year aboard his Energy Kart.

STRENGTH TO PERFORM

The win by the outgoing Champion ensured that he was the only driver to inflict a defeat in a main event on Hanssen throughout the 2013 championship.

Grother - who switched to an ART GP chassis for the final round - recorded fourth and third placed results to secure third in the Championship despite a valiant effort from Treseder.

“Consistency is definitely the key to winning championships, we had a few issues throughout the year but it’s great to finish the year with another win, but it was Joey who was the most consistent this year,” said Hays

Liam McLellan etched his name in Australian karting history as the Pro Junior (KFJ) Champion alongside the likes of 2014 Supercheap Auto Racing recruit Tim Slade and IndyCar driver Ryan Briscoe.

The battle for third in the Championship was the major on-track interest in Pro Gearbox with John Grother, Kel Treseder and Jason Pringle all fighting it out.

Entering the final round second in the standings, three points adrift of James Abela, McLellan needed to be right on top of his game during the final round.

Abela’s podium finish in the final round ensured that he held on to second place

in the championship while Andrew Kahl secured third place in the title chase with a fifth place in Melbourne.

In Pro Light (KF), Matthew Waters started the final round as the points leader, however George Geranis was keen to show up the Sydney-sider on his home track. It wasn’t to be, with Geranis spinning heading into turn one in the final race of the year.

Queenslander Troy Loeskow came into the event third on points with a mathematical chance at winning the Championship and then went on to win the first final before also dominating the second.

Geranis’ turn one spin elevated Loeskow to second in the Title should he remain in the event. He rocketed to the front ahead of Pierce Lehane and was a chance to take the Championship should misfortune hit Waters.
