Supercheap Auto Racing’s Tim Slade will start his 200th V8 Supercars Championship race in the second Saturday sprint race at Queensland Raceway....
Who will step up to challenge Prodrive?
A
fter recording nine wins from the last 11 races, Prodrive Racing Australia has more than asserted its authority on the V8 Supercars Championship heading into the Coates Hire Ipswich Super Sprint. Such dominance has seen teams question the parity of Prodrive Falcon FGX entries which has been quickly refuted by V8 Supercars’ technical department. Parity debate aside, Prodrive’s impressive run has now thrown the onus on the rest of the paddock to issue a response. History would suggest Triple Eight Race Engineering are the most likely candidates to close the gap to Prodrive, but they have shown an uncharacteristic lack of pace in recent weeks. Aided by an engineering team reshuffle, it can only be matter of time before Triple Eight strikes again, with this weekend a perfect opportunity as the squad returns to the happy hunting ground of Queensland Raceway. The operation has scored eight wins in the last 11 races while Prodrive has struggled with just two victories since the maiden championship meeting in 1999. It is questionable if home ground advantage can cut the deficit, but it does present an intriguing variable.
While teams are desperate to halt Prodrive’s charge, the weekend also provides a valuable opportunity for endurance co-drivers to accrue mileage ahead of the Pirtek Enduro Cup. Organisers have scheduled a co-driver only practice session which should offer a glimpse into the form book ahead of the Sandown 500 curtain raiser. Away from the main game, the Dunlop Series, Touring Car Masters and the CAMS Jayco Australian Formula 4 Championship will ben in action. Cameron Waters continues to hold a commanding lead in the championship although his run of consecutive victories came to an end at Townsville earlier this month. John Bowe and Steven Johnson will continue their on track dice in the Touring Car Masters, while local Jordan Lloyd heads to his home track atop the standings after becoming a two-time winner at the inaugural meeting in Townsville.

V8 Supercars Coates Hire Ipswich Super Sprint I Did You Know

DID YOU KNOW
Supercars Championship leader Mark Winterbottom is riding the crest of a wave at the moment but 1V8Queensland Raceway is a venue where he’s been without much recent success. The Pepsi Max PRA Ford pilot has won two races at ‘QR’ but none since 2008 – there have been 15 races held there since then in which he’s scored five podium finishes but none of them have been victories. Winterbottom has only scored one pole position in Ipswich (on Sunday in 2009) and has only qualified on the front row there once in his last 13 races (2010-2014).
team may not be dominating the Championship so far this season, but Red Bull Racing Australia 2The has the runs on the board in the recent past at Queensland Raceway. The team’s cars driven by Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup have won eight of the last 11 V8 Supercars Championship races held at the Ipswich circuit from 2011 to 2014. Triple Eight Race Engineering has won more races than any other team at Queensland Raceway – 10.
Craig Lowndes 3 and Garth Tander remain
the only two active drivers in the V8 Supercars Championship to have competed in each and every one of the 18 rounds held at Queensland Raceway since the first in 1999. So it’s unsurprising that they are also the two most winning drivers there with Lowndes taking 11 race wins and Tander five.
Freightliner Racing’s Fabian Coulthard and The Bottle-O Racing’s David 4 Reynolds will both achieve a milestone at Queensland Raceway – their 50th V8 Supercars Championship round start with their respective teams.
Both debuted with Brad Jones Racing and Rod Nash Racing respectively at the 2012 Clipsal 500 in Adelaide.

Supercheap Auto Racing’s Tim Slade will start his 200th V8 Supercars Championship race in the second Saturday sprint race at Queensland Raceway. The venue is the site of his very first V8SC podium finish back in 2011 and he now has 10 career podium results, however none of them have yet included a victory. Slade sits second to Murray Carter in championship record books for the most podium finishes in championship history without a victory.
Picking pole position at Queensland 6 Raceway could be tough in 2015 given four different cars have taken the last four pole positions there.
Will Davison took pole for Ford in the second Sunday race in 2013 and the honours were shared last year between Craig Lowndes (Holden), Scott McLaughlin (Volvo) and James Moffat (Nissan). Three of the last four pole positions at Queensland Raceway have been decided by less than five-hundredths of a second.
Tekno Autosports will make its 150th V8 7 Supercars Championship race start in the first Saturday sprint race at Queensland Raceway. The Queensland-based single car team is yet to record a V8SC podium result at its home circuit since van Gisbergen joined the team in 2013. His best result there in that time is a fourth place (2014).
Qualifying on the front row is 8 crucial to success at Queensland Raceway, no matter the race format or distance – 21 of the last 26 race winners since 2004 have started on the front row of the grid.
The lowest grid position for a V8 Supercars Championship race winner at Queensland Raceway is 9th by Mark Skaife in 2006, though that was a reverse grid race, the only one held in championship history in Ipswich.
Ash Walsh (Erebus Motorsport V8) and Andre Heimgartner 9 (Super Black Racing) are the only two drivers to be making their first V8 Supercars Championship appearance at Queensland Raceway, however the two have plenty of history there in other categories. Walsh finished runner-up in last year’s Dunlop Series round to Paul Dumbrell and won the 2007 Australian Formula Ford Championship round there while Heimgartner scored his first DVS race win at Queensland Raceway back in 2013.
Motorsport is aiming for its third straight Queensland Raceway round victory in the Dunlop 10Eggleston Series, a feat never achieved before by another team.
Jack Perkins won the 2013 round for EMS and Paul Dumbrell won the 2014 round with Dumbrell aiming to join Dean Canto as the only driver to score multiple DVS round victories at the Ipswich layout.

Circuit Description
Tickets: Visit www.ticketek.com.au TV: Foxtel/Network 10
Queensland Raceway was quickly dubbed the ‘Paperclip’ when it was opened in 1999 because of its six-turn design and lack of elevation. It was resurfaced in 2011 and is the home test circuit to eight of the field’s 28 cars.
2015 Event Information: Friday: 2x60 minute Practice Sessions and 1x30 Co Driver only Practice Session Saturday: 1x15 Minute Practice, 2x10 minute Qualifying, 2x 60km Races Sunday: 1x20 minute Qualifying, 1x 200km Race Tyre Format: 8 hard compound and 8 soft compound tyres will be supplied to each entry. Best Vantage Point: The outside of Turn 6 is a good pot to catch all the drama at the tight hairpin.
