WHINCUP SURPRISINGLY LIBERAL ODDS FOR SMP RETURN The resurgent Jamie Whincup remains favourite...
WHINCUP WINDFALL - FIVE-TIME CHAMP Now sitting at the top of the V8 Supercar standings...
Key shift toward Red Bull
F
ord Performance Racing appears to have lost the edge which saw it in the early part of the season appear to be the team to beat in the championship. Until last year Ford Performance Racing were without a Bathurst 1000 win to its credit and are yet to lift a championship title. Mark Winterbottom held the advantage in the points race until Jamie Whincup swooped at Queensland Raceway to shoot into the lead. Whincup has claimed six wins from the previous nine races after Red Bull knuckled down to start a major rearguard offensive from the Darwin meeting in June. On statistics, Red Bull are heavily favoured to continue its push as both Whincup and Craig Lowndes attempt to ram home the team’s edge over FPR. The Brisbane squad have the runs on the board at the western Sydney venue with Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup sharing wins the last time V8s raced at the circuit in 2012.
www.speedcafe.com
Furthermore the circuit is the venue where the Roland Dane-led squad achieved its maiden race win in the category through Lowndes in the BA Falcon in 2005. Continued success by the team at the cramped two-day meeting would have a major impact on the series heading into the Pirtek Enduro Cup leg of the championship. Security While the series has visited the formerlyAll-In-One named Eastern Creek on and off over the years, FPR has realised just one solitary win at the track Winterbottom in 2008.

Whincup surprisingly liberal odds for SMP return

T
he resurgent Jamie Whincup remains favourite but at a surprisingly easy quote for the opening encounter at Sydney Motorsport Park. Markets for the outright win on Race 26 see Whincup at $3.50 with his Red Bull Holden team-mate Craig Lowndes next at $5. Based on recent success in the opening heat at the previous three weekends, Whincup has the bit between his teeth. He won Race 17 at Darwin, Race 20 at Townsville and Race 23 at Queensland Raceway to begin his weekend on a opening note.
www.speedcafe.com
Replicating that at SMP is a decent chance for the championship pacesetter. The last time V8 Supercars raced at
the western Sydney circuit was in 2012 when Whincup won the second heat after Lowndes had kicked off the team’s weekend with a win. But based on overall form at the venue, Lowndes has the best record of the current crop of drivers with three victories. The Race 25 winner, James Courtney has firmed up to $8 in his bid to win his third race of the season. The overall picture after 25 races in 2014 sees Whincup lead the winning tally on nine, ahead of Mark Winterbottom’s four with Lowndes claiming three victories.

Whincup Windfall - Five-time champ firmly fixed on sixth title dogfight ow sitting at the top of the V8 Supercar standings, Jamie Whincup says he fully expects a dogfight from now until the end of the season in search of a coveted sixth crown. Looking at the statistics it would appear Whincup has enjoyed a relatively trouble free run this season having recorded nine wins and a staggering 21 top 10 finishes from 25 races. However, it is only now after eight rounds that the Red Bull Racing driver has assumed his familiar position at the top of the points standings, as the season edges closer to the final quarter. For a driver who has won more races than anyone else this year, Whincup’s season has not been as plain sailing as the stats suggest, slumping to as a low as
N
seventh in the championship standings. Heading in to Hidden Valley in June, he was more than 200 points adrift of Ford Performance Racing championship leader Mark Wintterbottom during a run which saw him go eight races without a podium finish. Whincup started the 2014 campaign on a high with a victory in the opening race at Adelaide, before picking up two more at the next round at Symmons Plains. What followed was almost a three month winning drought which would come as a shock to most armchair fans. The Red Bull driver attributed the slump to a lack of pace on soft tyres, an issue his Triple Eight team have worked hard to improve. He has also had the challenge of forging a relationship with a new race engineer

David Cauchi, with his former sparring partner Mark Dutton assuming the role of Triple Eight team manager. Having recorded six wins in the last nine races, Whincup is looking in ominous form with his bid for a sixth title gathering pace. However, with barely a second covering the field this season, he is in no position to relax heading into round nine at Sydney Motorsport Park this weekend. “Everyone is making the fact I’m back on top of the championship as a story, but its not really,” Whincup told Speedcafe.com. “I have been as low as fourth but I haven’t been as low as seventh for a long time. “Being over 200 points from the lead was getting a bit out of hand so we had to do so something about it. “We have worked really hard to turn that

around. We have been in a slump probably four or five times over the last eight years but I have always had faith that when it was needed the guys at Triple Eight can dig deep and solve the problems. “They have done it again and the cars are much faster these days but in saying that there is still a long way to go, but we are in the right position now. “Things are starting to click between me and David but we have still got a hell of a long way to go to get to the stage I had with Dutto (Mark Dutton) but we are ahead of schedule. “We have worked hard and got the points back but as easy as it is to do that, its easy to lose it. “Its going to be a dogfight right until the end. “Its all about the soft tyres and that is our weakest leg. “We will do the best we can but I don’t expect to be firing at Sydney. Hopefully we have made some gains in that area.”

With just 192 points separating the top four in the championship, Whincup believes he could be set for his toughest fight yet for the championship crown, and is not ruling out anyone at this stage. “FPR have been there the last couple of years and there needs to be an element of respect there,” added Whincup. “They were 200 points up the road for a reason they have been doing a really good job. “At the same time I’m not disregarding anyone.
“How can I disregard my team-mate Craig Lowndes or HRT and the Volvo is seriously dangerous too. Brad Jones Racing and Shane van Gisbergen are right there too so I’m not discounting anyone. “There are a lot of contenders but I don’t want to disrespect the last five years. “This year feels bigger because we are in the moment right now but we have been working really hard the last six years to win championships and the battles have been just as hard.”

Jamie Whincup leads the V8 Supercar Championship pointscore for the first time in just over five months after seizing the lead at Queensland Raceway. The Red Bull Racing Australia driver last led the points after the opening race of the season in Adelaide in March though has not been in front since.

DID YOU KNOW
This year is the first time the New Generation V8 Supercars have raced at the circuit with the last round held there in 2012 being prior to their arrival into the V8 Supercar Championship. Prior to that there had been no round at the venue since 2008 and there has been no dominant driver or team at SMP in the modern era of V8 Supercars. The 2014 field features eight former race winners at the circuit, though only one – Craig Lowndes – has won multiple races (five). Lowndes has the most wins of active drivers though trails Mark Skaife (10), Marcos Ambrose (seven) and Glenn Seton (six) on the alltime SMP Championship race wins list.
3
James Moffat’s ARMOR ALL Pole Position at Queensland Raceway was Nissan’s first in the Australian Touring Car Championship/V8 Supercar Championship since Mark Skaife at Winton in 1992.
Moffat became the 55th different driver in 55 years of Championship history to score a pole position. A Nissan has not competed in a Championship round at Sydney Motorsport Park since the very first ATCC/V8SC round was held there back in 1992 (when the track was known as Eastern Creek). On that weekend, Skaife finished second overall in his GT-R with fellow works driver Jim Richards fourth and privateer Mark Gibbs seventh.
4
Team BOC’s Jason Bright will make his 210th ATCC/V8SC round start at Sydney Motorsport Park, moving past Hall of Famer Glenn Seton into seventh place on the all-time starts list.
Bright is still chasing his first Championship race win at SMP with four second-place finishes to his name. The last came with Team Brock at the 2003 Grand Final round. Bright will tie the late Peter Brock on 212 ATCC/V8SC round starts at Bathurst in October.

Craig Lowndes scored the most Championship points of any driver at the last round at Queensland Raceway and, in doing so, jumped from sixth to third in the pointscore.
The last time he topped the weekend points was the 2012 Sydney Olympic Park finale.
Ford remains in an ARMOR ALL Pole Position drought in the V8 Supercar Championship – a total of 27 races have now passed since Mark Winterbottom scored the last ‘blue oval’ pole at Phillip Island last November. Lockwood Racing’s Fabian Coulthard will make his 250th V8 Supercar Championship race start on the Sunday of the Sydney Motorsport Park 400.
The milestone comes in the Melbourne-based New Zealander’s 113th round since debuting at the now-defunct Oran Park Raceway in 2004. Coulthard’s best SMP race result is a sixth on Sunday in 2012.
proud platinum partners The 2014 Sydney Motorsport Park 400 will be the first appearanceOur at the circuit of Volvo and MercedesBenz in ATCC/V8SC history via the works Garry Rogers-run S60s and the Erebus-run E63 AMGs.

Both brands have appeared previously at the circuit in the two-litre Super Touring series with Jim Richards winning a race in 1998 in a Volvo S40. A Mercedes-Benz 190E (in the hands of Phil Ward and John Goss) competed in the 1990 Eastern Creek 500 touring car race – the circuit’s inaugural race – though it was a non-championship event. ™

HHA Racing’s Nick Percat has qualified and finished in the top 10 in five of the last six races at Townsville and Queensland Raceway.
The only driver in the field with a better strike rate at the moment is Championship leader Jamie Whincup – he’s the only pilot to have qualified and finished inside the top 10 in the last six races straight. Percat has climbed up to 18th in the Championship after a slow start to the season and is just 91 points behind 12th-placed Michael Caruso. He has scored the sixth-most points across the Townsville and Queensland Raceway rounds.

Six drivers are competing in the V8 Supercars Championship at Sydney Motorsport Park for the first time given the Championship did not race there last year and was not on the calendar in previous years.
They are Chaz Mostert, Scott Pye, Dale Wood, Scott McLaughlin, Robert Dahlgren and Nick Percat.

Races 26/27/28 - Sydney Motorsport Park 400 I Porsche Carrera Cup Preview

Luff and Richards to continue title dice at Sydney Motorsport Park arren Luff and Steven Richards head into round five of the Porsche Carrera Cup Australia with nothing separating the pair in the championship standings. The duo are locked on 534 points apiece ahead of this weekend’s three races at the New South Wales Circuit. Holden Racing Team V8 Supercar co-driver, Luff, had held the championship lead prior to the last round at Townsville, but a retirement in the final race on the Queensland street circuit proved costly. Richards came through to record his second victory of the weekend and his first round win of the season to move level on points with Luff. On paper Luff has recorded five outright wins this season to Richard’s three, but the former hasn’t tasted victory since the second round at Melbourne’s Albert Park in March. Max Twigg and Nick Percat shared the victories at Sydney Motorsport Park last year with Luff getting the measure of Richards after finishing fourth and third in the two races. While Luff and Richards will grab the headlines heading into the meeting, multiple champion Craig Baird is still in contention to retain his title just 86 points behind the duo. Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge driver Scott Taylor will join the Porsche Carrera Cup Australia grid this weekend while regular Marc Cini will sit out. This will be the field’s second visit to Sydney Motorsport Park having taken part in a full factory shakedown of the brand new 2014 spec 911 GT3 in January.
