  • Red Bull Racing Australia Team Is As Finely Tuned and High-Performance Pitch-Perfect As the V8s They Work On
    experience M VING PARTS The Red Bull Racing Australia team is as finely tuned and high-performance pitch-perfect as the V8s they work on. Story Baz McAlister Photography David Kelly t’s not yet 8am on a chilly morning at Queensland Raceway, near Ipswich, but the black-clad men of the Red Bull Racing Australia pit crew have been running hot for hours. Many of them were up before dawn to tend to the pair of sleek, gleaming, Ired-and-blue VF Holden Commodores ensconced side-by-side in their high-tech lair. This first day of the V8 Supercars Coates Hire Ipswich 360 weekend at the winding track 50km west of Brisbane nicknamed “the Paperclip” is practice day, but that won’t stop the Red Bull team playing to win. One by one, the $450,000 cars are shoved out into the pit lane, back wheels on castors, for a wheel-change drill. The men squat, poised, clutching their “rattle-guns”; pneumatic hoses snake upwards into an armature overhead. Four-time V8 Supercars champion Jamie Whincup’s spotless steed, bearing the number 1, is rolled between them, three either side. Then, built-in jacks stab downwards from underneath the chassis and a vexatious noise shatters the morning stillness. The rattle-guns are jammed against the wheel nuts. BRAAAAP! The wheels are off; fresh ones are manhandled into position. BRAAAAP! They’re on. Everyone steps back, as if a doctor has yelled “clear!” in an operating theatre. Four seconds have passed. Then they do it again. And again. Team manager Adrian Burgess watches it all with interest – a ▲ Rituals … (clockwise from top left) Four-time V8 Supercars champion Jamie Whincup; Whincup and teammate Craig Lowndes sign autographs for fans; the chequered flag gets a pre-race workout; extracting engine heat in the pit garage.

    THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF DUNLOP MOTORSPORT IN TOUCH [ www.injection.tv ] ISSUE TEN, NOVEMBER 2008 Simoncelli, di Meglio and Dunlop celebrate in style! Marco Simoncelli and Alvaro Bautista have been the most consistent finishers in the MotoGP 250cc category, each scoring in 13 of the 15 races this year and are first and second in the riders' standings with one race remaining, in Valencia at the end of October. With his third place finish in Malaysia mid-October, seconds behind Bautista at the chequered flag, it was Simoncelli who was crowned the 2008 250cc champion and the Italian celebrated by completing a helmet-less victory lap around the track. Simoncelli has scored five wins to Bautista's four so far this year, but the Italian has consistently finished on the podium. Mid-season he was on devastating form, finishing second to Mika Kallio in France, and then winning the Spanish and German Grands Prix, finishing second in Britain, and third at the Dutch Grand Prix. Bautista had fallen far behind by the time the bikes lined up in Spain, having scored one win, but just 16 more points in the Mike di Meglio wins the Australian 125cc race and Dunlop's 12th straight category title opening six races. The Spaniard worked hard during the second half of the year, starting on his home ground where he was second to Simoncelli, and that led Dunlop celebrates another successful to a run of six straight podium finishes, culminating in victory in South Africa.
