VALUE TO BE HAD AT PUKEKOHE Hunting a winner at Pukekohe over the ANZAC Day weekend is a difficult assignment.

PUKEKOHE CROWD BRACED FOR TRIO OF FLYING KIWIS New Zealand touring car fans have never had it so good...

Bringing down the house

Y

oung Scotty McLaughlin has been a breath of fresh air ever since emerging in the main game ranks last year.

McLaughlin caused Pukekohe to erupt into raptures when he won the opening 35-lap race in 2013 to become the youngest winner of an V8 Supercars/Australian Touring Car Championship race at 19 years, 10 months and three days.

The young charger has continued where he left off by leading Volvo Polestar Racing to almost immediate success in 2014.

McLaughlin would surely have to rate as one of the best contenders to repeat his success of 12 months ago.

In fact his Kiwi compatriots Fabian Coulthard and Shane van Gisbergen all have shown pace and form to rate as winning contenders across a busy weekend of racing at the 2.91km circuit.

Coulthard, in particular, has put his hand up to emerge as a championship contender, occupying third on the points behind Craig Lowndes on an

www.speedcafe.com

impossibly tight leaderboard after three events.

Also lurking with intent is Mark Winterbottom who scored Ford’s first victory since the Gold Coast event in October last year.

The playing field is incredibly tight.

As it is Pukekohe remains a lottery in the dry and if it rains around this concrete barrier-lined circuit then expect some wildly different results.

unting a winner at Pukekohe over the ANZAC Day weekend is a difficult assignment.

In the opening markets for the first of four races, the Red Bull duo of Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes are at $3.50 and $4.50 respectively.

The form guide from the last meeting at Winton can largely be disregarded because of the peculiar results the Victorian track often dishes up with Red Bull failing to enjoy the domination of the previous round at Symmons Plains.

However based on the results from the four races at Pukekohe last year when the V8 Supercars returned for the first time since 2007, the closest the Red Bull claimed just one victory courtesy of Whincup.

The other races were taken out by Scott

www.speedcafe.com

McLaughlin, Will Davison and Jason Bright with the latter the only driver occupy a podium spot more than once across the weekend.

McLaughlin’s record-breaking maiden victory in the main game was not by accident.

He is genuinely fast at the south Auckland track, having honed his skills and sharpened his confidence in the local V8 SuperTourer races over the last couple of seasons.

McLaughlin is at the rather attractive odds of $9 to repeat the opening race victory in the Volvo which will be well suited to the fast sweeping nature of the Pukekohe layout.

Fabian Coulthard ($7.50) and Bright ($13) are also worth contemplating from the infirm Brad Jones Racing outfit.

Bright particularly is worth a shout after a collecting a second and a win at the 2.91km circuit.

Pukekohe crowd braced for trio of flying Kiwis ew Zealand touring car fans have never had it so good with three of their finest exponents vying for V8 Supercars championship glory.

Boosted by a partisan Pukekohe crowd, Fabian Coulthard, Shane van Gisbergen and Scott McLaughlin are all primed to deliver on home soil this weekend.

The Kiwi trio have all made a strong start to the season sitting firmly inside the championship’s top 10, with all three enjoying victories in 2014. In fact, this is possibly the strongest line up of Kiwis ever to head into a V8 Supercar event in New Zealand.

Last year rising star McLaughlin burst on to the scene by recording his maiden V8 Supercar victory in front of the Pukekohe crowd. Twelve months on Scott has emerged as one of the championship‘s hottest properties.

After a stand out 2013, the 20-year-old’s expectations have risen this season with the Volvo GRM driver often being touted as a contender for race victories and podiums.

His popularity among fans has also been boosted following his infamous “Give it some Jandal” phrase, becoming the slogan of the season, following an explosive post race television interview at the season

opening Clipsal 500.

While excited to be racing in front of his home crowd this weekend, the GRM racer, who tasted victory in the non championship event at Albert Park, is hoping the local support can help him rise to the occasion, as he continues to adjust to his new found status.

“Its going to be weird,” McLaughlin told Speedcafe.com when asked about heading to Pukekohe as one of the event’s main attractions.

“Obviously there are three Kiwis and we only get to race at home once a year so the New Zealanders really come out and get behind us.

“The crowd can give you an edge and it can work in your favour and against you. I felt last year it helped me a lot but it gives you a buzz. When the crowd is cheering its pretty cool.

“It means a lot racing at home as I watched Greg Murphy race there when I was growing up so hopefully I can be competitive at home. It would be really cool to be on the podium in a couple of the races.

“The Jandal thing as taken off more than I thought it would.

“I have been saying it for a long time now.

www.speedcafe.com

Its seriously cool to have a following and its nice to see people getting enjoyment from something I’ve said or done.

“I’m all for it but I can tell its getting on a few peoples nerves.”

While he is eager to delight his new found following in his homeland, there is also the small matter of the battle to finish the weekend as top Kiwi.

“I wouldn’t say its a private competition between myself Fabian and Shane but we are all competitive and want to beat everyone as well as being top Kiwi,” added McLaughlin.

“It is not dog eat dog but you want to be the top Kiwi on home soil. I’m not going to go out of my way to hit Shane or something like that to be the top Kiwi.

“If I have to make a big pass for the win I will but not to be the Top Kiwi. Being top Kiwi is an added bonus though.”

Arguably the most in-form New Zealander heading into the ITM Auckland 500 is Coulthard after tasting victory last time out at Winton.

The Brad Jones Racing driver also enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in 2013 that saw him claim his maiden V8 Supercar win, which he followed up with two more visits to the top step of the podium.

Consistency has been the key to

Auckland racer’s season heading into his home event as he sits third in the championship standings, while boasting an impressive average race finish statistic of 5.1.

After braking the shackles by ending the hunt for a maiden victory, Coulthard appears to be operating at a much higher level and could easily grab the headlines this weekend.

Completing the trio of flying Kiwis is Tekno Autosports’ Shane van Gisbergen.

The 24-year-old has demonstrated time and time again he is a force to be reckoned with behind the wheel of just about anything. van Gisbergen has clocked up the highest amount of competitive racing kilometers compared to his fellow countrymen after outings at the Daytona 24 Hours, Bathurst 12 Hour and the D1NZ Drifting championship.

He swept to three victories from four races in the non-championship V8 Supercar event at Albert Park in March proving he has the pace to be a real championship contender.

With three high flying Kiwis primed for action, the battle to be the top New Zealander on home soil is set to be a fascinating one.

The change does not alter the fast and flowing nature of the circuit, which previously hosted the championship in 2007 prior to a five-year street racing experiment in nearby Hamilton.

2013 Highlight: Last season the layout produced wheel-to-wheel high speed racing and plenty of thrills and spills. Jason Bright won the round and the inaugural Jason Richards Trophy while Jamie Whincup and Mark Winterbottom provided another talking point after two high profile clashes. Rookie Kiwi Scott McLaughlin became the sports youngest ever race winner aged just 19.

Circuit Description A $6.6 million upgrade saw a new-look Pukekohe Park Raceway return to the V8 Supercars Championship in 2013. A range of works have been undertaken, including the addition of a chicane towards the end of the back straight which extends the circuit marginally from 2.83km to 2.91km.

Races 10/11/12/13 - ITM 500 Auckland I Did You Know

1

Race 10 of the 2014 V8 Supercars Championship at Pukekohe on Friday April 25 will be the first time in the 55-year history of the Australian Touring Car Championship/V8SC that a race will be held on ANZAC Day.

The last time an ATCC/V8SC race was held on a Friday was at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi in 2011. Previous events in Abu Dhabi and Bahrain also featured a race on Friday, however the championship is yet to race on that day of the week on Australian soil.

2

It’s hard to look past a Holden driver claiming the ultra-special Jason Richards Memorial Trophy at Pukekohe, named in honour of the late Kiwi V8 Supercar star who passed away in December 2011.

?

?

DID YOU KNOW

Holden drivers have won 23 of the 25 V8 Supercars Championship races held at Pukekohe since 2001 with Ford’s only victories taken

by Marcos Ambrose (2004 Race 1) and Will Davison (2013 Race 3).

The Jason Richards Memorial Trophy - won by Jason Bright in 2013 - will be awarded to the driver who scores the most points over the course of the four-race ITM 500 Auckland event.

3

Three New Zealanders - Shane van Gisbergen, Scott McLaughlin and Fabian Coulthard - will line up in the 25-driver field for the ITM 500 Auckland at Pukekohe, though Coulthard is the only one of the three yet to win a V8 Supercar race on home soil.

McLaughlin won Race 1 at Pukekohe last year while van Gisbergen won the Sunday race on the Hamilton street circuit in 2011.

Coulthard’s best Kiwi V8 Supercar result remains a third in last year’s first race at Pukekohe.

All three New Zealanders sit in the top 10 in the championship - Coulthard third, van Gisbergen sixth and McLaughlin 10th.

4

V8 Supercars Championship leader Craig Lowndes has won 96 ATCC/V8SC races at 18 different circuits but is still, amazingly, yet to win at Pukekohe.

The Red Bull driver holds a 24-point lead over Pepsi Max Ford pilot Mark Winterbottom heading to New Zealand, though has managed no better than a sole second-place finish from his 25 V8 Supercar race starts at the circuit.

Lowndes finished second in Race 3 in 2006 and has only finished on the podium at Pukekohe once - Race 1 last year.

Townsville is the only other venue on the 2014 calendar where Lowndes is yet to record a win.

Lowndes will make his 226th ATCC/V8SC event start at Pukekohe, tying him with John Bowe for second on the all-time list.

5

The fourth and final race at the ITM 500 Auckland - Race 13 of 2014 - will be the longest V8 Supercars Championship race held at Pukekohe since the V8SC debuted there back in 2001.

The 70-lap race (over 203.7-kilometres) is significantly longer than any previous V8SC race at Pukekohe.

Races 2 and 3 in both 2002 and 2003 were each over 54 laps of the older, slightly shorter circuit layout, making for an individual race distance of 153.36-kilometres.

6

Six different drivers from five different teams piloting three different types of car have won the nine races held so far in the V8 Supercars Championship.

Only the Red Bull Racing Australia drivers Jamie Whincup (three) and Craig Lowndes (two) have won multiple races, while four different teams - RBRA, Brad Jones Racing, Erebus Motorsport V8 and Ford Performance Racing - have won the last four races.

7

Speaking of variety, four different drivers from four different teams won the races at last year’s ITM 500 Auckland at Pukekohe.

Scott McLaughlin, Jamie Whincup, Will Davison and Jason Bright claimed the four race wins for Garry Rogers Motorsport, Red Bull Racing Australia, Ford Pepsi Max Crew and Brad Jones Racing respectively.

It was the first time since 2002 that a different driver had won each of the races at a V8 Supercars Championship event at Pukekohe.

8

srenMark trapWinterbottom’s munitalwin p dinutheolast rprace ruatOWinton was the 50th for the FG Falcon in the V8 Supercars Championship, bringing it within one single race win of the most-winning Ford in championship history.

The BA Falcon won a total of 51 V8SC races between 2003 and 2006, while the FG is in its sixth season of racing since debuting in 2009.

9 ™

Five drivers are making their V8 Supercars Championship debuts at Pukekohe, with another aiming to start his first actual race there.

ytiruceS enO-nI-llA

Team JELD-WEN’s Jack Perkins competed at Pukekohe in 2007 for Jack Daniel’s Racing, however crashed in practice and was sidelined for the rest of the weekend without starting a race.

Robert Dahlgren (Valvoline Racing GRM), Nick Percat (HHA Racing), Scott Pye (Wilson Security Racing), Chaz Mostert (Pepsi Max Ford) and Dale Wood (ADVAM Racing) are all competing at Pukekohe for the first time in V8 Supercars.

However, Percat, Mostert and Wood all competed at Pukekohe in last year’s V8 SuperTourers Series finale, while Pye has raced Toyota Racing Series open-wheelers at the circuit.

10

Kiwi legend Greg Murphy still holds the record for most V8 Supercars Championship race wins at Pukekohe - nine - and while he may no longer be competing in the V8SC full-time, he will be in action in the local V8 SuperTourers Series round which supports the ITM 500 Auckland.

The Holden Racing Team Pirtek Enduro Cup driver is the reigning V8 SuperTourers Champion and leads the 2014 series with three rounds of seven completed.
