ROUND 4

QUEENSLAND IN THIS ISSUE

Michael Smith Shannons Nationals Director

3 Welcome to Queensland Raceway On behalf of the CAMS National Racing Championships, welcome to the fourth Shannons Nationals round for 2018. Coming from one of the most successful Shannons Nationals rounds at Phillip Island, we are excited to be heading north for both the sunshine and to the Ipswich region. Round 4 boasts a strong line-up, with some of Australia's best championships and series joining us this weekend. At every round in 2018 we have the Porsche Michelin GT3 Cup Challenge Australia feature amongst our great line-up of categories, with the series producing some fantastic and close racing this season. We also have the fan-favourite 'Fight in the Night' race return, with the Australian Production Car Series to have a strong field for their two races across the weekend. The Australian Prototype Series presented by Hot Wheels also returns this weekend, with the title fight well and truly on.

Returning from their success at the QR event in 2017 is the X3 Series Queensland, with competitors eager to race at a nationallevel event.

ADVERTORIAL

FUELLING THE FIRE It might not be a sexy subject, but one Aussie company is proudly making the racing wheels go around thanks to a fire for all things fuel. Wor d s : R i c h ar d Crai l l

I mage s: Ra ce Fue ls A rchiv e

“Fuel,” says Mark Tierney, a director of Melbournebased motor sport staple Race Fuels, “Is not a sexy part of going motor racing.”

Ute – we later added a box trailer – on Friday morning and then we were done for the weekend,” Tierney remembers.

And that’s probably the truth. Despite distributing the product that quite literally makes the internalcombustion wheels go round, it’s hard to get people excited about their racing fuels.

Today the business is the primary supplier of fuel to the V8 Supercars, Shannons Nationals, Australian GT, Bathurst’s 12 and 6 Hour races and a host of other events. It makes for a busier schedule than days gone by.

You put it in the tank and it makes the car go: as a consumable, it doesn’t change the outcome of a race for a spectator in the same way, say, a soft tyre does when compared to a hard. To most, it’s just a usable commodity that costs more money the higher the Octane number is. Naturally Tierney, a long time racer who now helms a business that distributes nearly one million litres of fuel around every state in Australia per year, doesn’t share that opinion. Race Fuels was founded in 2003 and started distributing ELF racing fuels and products in Melbourne and Tasmania. “It started with me dropping a few drums down to Sandown or Phillip Island in the back of a BA Falcon

8 // T H E R AC I NG M AGA ZI NE

“Across the year we would be supplying product to several hundred people each weekend, and that’s before you take into account needing to deliver product to V8 Supercars and the Shannons Nationals. They all operate very professionally and expect a level of service that’s a bit more than dropping off the fuel drum and saying ‘seeya’. “The business is as much about providing that service and support to teams and drivers as it is actually pumping fuel at race tracks.” The Race Fuels organisation is certainly larger than a Ford Ute and a trailer these days. An enormous B-Double transporter carries the fuel across the country with multiple staff on hand to ensure


the product is properly and promptly distributed at each round. RaceFuels does not request pre-bookings, they believe it is their role to carry enough to cover all contingencies. “We have four types of fuel that we supply and we carry enough of each to make sure everyone that’s going to be at the race meeting is catered for, but we try to do more than that too,” Tierney explains. “At a lot of events like the Kumho V8 rounds, for instance, they’re only allowed to have 60 litres of fuel in the garage at a time so part of it is making sure that everyone is re-supplied across the weekend. We go to them instead of them coming to us so that customer service side of things is very important.

“It’s a fact of life that the events wouldn’t get a permit unless they had a fuel management plan in place,” Tierney says. “There’s so many regulations and OH&S issues surrounding the control of dangerous goods in quantities that it’s not feasible for people to bring their own fuel to the track, especially at major events, any more. You just wouldn’t get a permit, so our role is to take that issue out of the equation and make sure it’s safe and we’re conscious of taking away everything we bring in.” Hailing from a passionate racing family, Tierney believes it’s critical that the enjoyment of the sport has to be number one in operating the business.

“It’s a logistical challenge to say the least, the start of the year in particular.

“I think you have to be very fond of it to be involved at the level we are,” he says.

“We even go to the test days and spend a lot of time predicting who is testing where so we can plan our supply. It is not uncommon for RaceFuels to attend multiple circuits on the same day”.

“We try and go above and beyond to help people out. We’ve had several Melbourne teams without space in their transporter come to us and go ‘hey, could you take a drum back to Melbourne for us?’ and we’ll do it and drop it at their workshop. It’s no problem.

But wait, there’s more. In this day and age when you need to sign a waiver before you go to the bathroom, there’s a significant safety effort around the Race Fuels business to the point where it’s unlikely people could go racing without the procedures and standards companies like Race Fuels provide.

“It’s all part of what we do and hopefully it’s making it better for everyone. We certainly get a buzz out of it.”

Sean Scott, RaceFuels’ operations manager, has a full time job preparing the compliance paperwork ahead of a race meeting.
