This year’s Castrol Edge Townsville 400 returns to its original format with a pair of 200-kilometre races but it’s an event ...
The start of a Whincup fightback
S
ix-time champion Jamie Whincup faces a case of deja vu heading into the Castrol Edge Townsville 400 this weekend with the Red Bull Racing Australia driver desperate to ignite his title defence. In a similar situation to last year, the 32-year-old faces a mountain to climb having slid 286 points adrift of championship leader Mark Winterbottom. After starting the season brightly, Whincup has struggled for pace and results in recent weeks, having missed out on a top five finish in the last seven races. While he may be lying a distant eighth in the championship, it is still foolish to write off his title chances. The Holden driver fought back from a 213 point deficit 12 months ago to romp to a sixth championship win, which was aided by two wins at Townsville. Townsville’s technical Reid Park street circuit has proved to be happy hunting ground for Whincup with seven wins from 13 races at the venue. Although he boasts an highly impressive win ratio, even Whincup is not totally convinced Townsville will be the start of a fightback. Time is still on his side but there is no doubt he
will be champing at the bit to get his championship campaign back on track. Meanwhile, Prodrive Racing Australia remain the pacesetters and the Holden Racing Team has also proved successful with two victories in its last two visits at Townsville. After David Reynolds made it eight different winners in 15 races, the championship continues to be as tight as ever which should provide two intriguing street fights in north Queensland. Aside from the fascinating V8 Supercars title scrap, the Townsville 400 will cater for all with a bumper support line up, including the Australian GT Championship, Dunlop Series, Porsche Carrera Cup Australia, V8 Utes and the inaugural round of the CAMS Jayco Australian Formula 4 Championship.

DID YOU KNOW
year’s Castrol Edge Townsville 400 returns to its original format with a pair of 200-kilometre races 1This but it’s an event where winners don’t necessarily need to start at the front of the field to win. Only once – on Saturday in 2010 – has the car that started on pole position (Jamie Whincup) gone on to win the race and 53.8% of Townsville winners have started beyond the first two rows of the grid. Cars starting on the front row of the grid in Townsville have won just three of the 13 races held there.
BOC’s Jason Bright will celebrate his 500th V8 Supercars Championship race in the Saturday 2Team race at the Castrol Edge Townsville 400.
The 1998 Bathurst winner will become the fourth man to start 500 races, joining Russell Ingall, Craig Lowndes and Garth Tander in the ‘500 Club’. His last victory came at Pukekohe last year and he’s still searching for his first Townsville podium finish given his best result there is a fifth in 2013.
Garry Rogers’ Volvo team will 3 also rack up a milestone in Townsville – the Saturday race will be its 600th V8 Supercars Championship race.
Only DJR Team Penske (formerly Dick Johnson Racing) and the Holden Racing Team have started more races. The team holds a special place in Townsville V8 Supercar history books given it took pole position for the inaugural race in 2009 with Lee Holdsworth.
V8 Supercars Castrol Edge Townsville 400 I Did You Know 5 An amazing fact about the Castrol 5 Edge Townsville 400 is that only eight different drivers have finished on the podium over the course of its sixyear and 13 race history.
Mark Winterbottom, Will Davison, Garth Tander, James Courtney, Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup took every single podium finish in Townsville between them from 2009 to 2012 before Kiwis Fabian Coulthard and Shane van Gisbergen added themselves to the list in 2013.
The Holden Racing Team’s Garth 6 Tander may not have won as many Townsville races as Jamie Whincup
their recent patchy form, Red Bull Racing Australia 4Despite is the team with the runs on the board in Townsville. It has won seven of the 13 races held there and five of the last eight with a pair of 1-2 finishes included in that period.
(who has seven to Tander’s three) but the three-time Bathurst winner has an incredible record of podium finishes in North Queensland.
He’s finished on the podium in 10 of the 13 Townsville races and has only once finished outside the top 10 – an amazing run of performances.
Only four teams have 7 won V8 Supercar races in Townsville. Triple Eight (seven), Holden Racing Team (three), Prodrive Racing Australia (two) and Dick Johnson Racing (one) are the only teams to greet the chequered flag first in North Queensland.
Ash Walsh and Andre 9 Heimgartner are competing in the main races at the Castrol Edge Townsville 400 for the first time in their careers but they are no strangers to the circuit.
Heimgartner finished runner-up to Chris Pither in last year’s Dunlop Series round and has also raced Porsche Carrera Cup in Townsville in 2012. Walsh won last year’s Sunday race in the Dunlop Series and has competed every year in the category in Townsville since 2011.
David Reynolds may have broken his own winless streak at 8 Hidden Valley in Darwin but no Ford driver has won a V8 Supercars Championship race on a street circuit since he and Dean Canto won on the Gold Coast in 2013 – a total of 58 races ago.
stat in the six-year history of the Townsville event is the fact that no V8 Supercars Championship 10Araceunique there has been held where all cars that started the race have finished it! It’s a great reflection of the tricky nature of the Reid Park circuit.
