Robbie Jones does not rank as one of Queensland Raceway’s greatest admirers because of its legendary unimaginative layout. Being likened to a giant paper clip, and perfectly flat, the circuit at least provides uninterrupted spectator viewing and usually its fair share of spectacular biff-and-barge. Fans this year were treated to a double-shot of action when a Porsche, from one of the supporting races, and a Level 1 V8 Supercar launched into spectacular mid-air barrel rolls; with both drivers fortunately walking away without injury. Race Report. Spies Hecker Racing 2 PRACTICE SESSIONS “Our weekend kicked off with ensuring that I was refamiliarised with the track and its particular challenges. The first two sessions of Practice were sighting laps to remember where the bumps exactly were and set my braking markers. It was important to really get as good a handle on it as I could because Queensland Raceway is home to many teams, most of which are Level 1 teams; so its doubly tough up there. “During the first session we used the race tyres from Bathurst last year which were over nine months old because it would have been a waste of valuable new rubber. The car was reasonably good ‘straight out of the box’ and had a little bit understeer which was due to the old tyres not the car’s set-up. With the exception of a few bumps the track surface is totally flat so you need a lot of grip. “After the conclusion of the first outing we had posted the 20th fastest lap time with a 1min:14.8 seconds, and 2.6-seconds from the leader. “For Practice Two we had four left-over tyres from Eastern Creek and made minimal changes to the Spies Hecker Commodore’s suspension settings. Our pace improved notably as I settled in and pulled my lap time down to 1min:14.1 and reduced gap to the leader to 1.9-seconds. This result moved us up to an encouraging 15th place which in the circumstances was a solid effort. I felt that I was going deeper into corners before braking, as I had done at Eastern Creek, and this added to the improvement overall.” Race Report. Spies Hecker Racing 3 QUALIFYING SESSION “Our improved result in Practice ranked us fourteenth overall in the combined results but it didn’t quite get us into the top half of the overall rankings so we went out for Qualifying in the ‘lower 50% session’. We had made some suspension adjustments beforehand based on how we thought the car would behave with new tyres and things were going well, it looked like we would be amongst the three fastest in our group. “I had commenced my sixth lap and was getting progressively faster but things went pear- shaped when the gearbox got jammed. “I had to return to the pits to see if we could discover what the problem was. Nothing was initially obvious but closer detailed inspection revealed the selector had slipped between two gears causing the jam. “The car has the same ‘box it has always had from day one and was getting close to being due for a rebuild. For Bathurst last year we had replaced the gears but this item usually never wears out. It is a freak occurrence and we were all pretty disappointed to have our efforts thwarted in this way and not have the opportunity to go as good as we could have. “The outcome put the Spies Hecker Commodore in 19th out of 26th for the starting grid of Race One. Our best lap time in that session was a 1min:13.8-seconds which was quite a way short what it should have been, what we did last year which was a 1min:13.1 which alone would have put us in 12th. “All this happened on Friday and overnight we pulled the gearbox out and examined our options. The selector itself looked okay so we refitted it”. Race Report. Spies Hecker Racing 4 RACE ONE “I got the Spies Hecker Commodore off to a good start and grabbed four positions quickly in the first few corners when some cars ahead had a big shunt on the start line. Someone had stalled and been rear-ended, that car had then been hit from behind, and I narrowly missed all this as I came through. “The race officials displayed a red flag, denoting that the race must immediately halt, as the cars approached the beginning of the main straight so the carnage could be cleared away. This type of incident had happened at Eastern Creek so the officials decided to restart us behind the Safety Car rather than a stationery start, the theory is that moving cars can't stall. “On lap nine the gearbox jammed again and I had no option but to return to the pits. After seeing if there was anything we could do to rectify it I rejoined the race two laps behind and finished the race in last place rather than get a DNF (Did Not Finish). The significance of this was huge because the next race was the reverse grid; last in Race One starts from first in Race Two. Race Report. Spies Hecker Racing 5 RACE TWO “We obtained another gear shifter and replaced our faulty one for this outing. My normal driving style is to use the gearbox to assist with stopping the car but for this race I decided to adopt the ‘Marcos Ambrose style’, go hard into the braking zone and not downshift through each gear - but stand on the brakes. “Starting from the very front we wanted to ensure that we gave ourselves the best possible shot at a great result. Lining up for the beginning of this race in pole position was fantastic exposure for the car and our sponsors. To hold this position for the entire sixteen lap distance was always going to be a ‘big ask’. But I had a strategy that would maximise our chance of getting the biggest possible benefit. The top positions from the first race would start from the rear grid positions and would have to fight their way through the ‘obstructions’ of the mid-field guys. Despite their superior cars this still takes several laps to happen during which time I would be able to open up a sizable lead. Robbie leads the field in Race Two “I got a reasonable start, the car alongside got a slightly better one and his nose was a few metres ahead as we ran for the first corner. I had the inside line and held him out to dry as we raced through it - I had the lead and I was hanging onto it! “Over the next few laps I opened a gap of several seconds and held the lead for a healthy six laps. When the front runners finally arrived I let two of them through per lap, its bad sportsmanship to block someone who is substantially faster than you, plus they are racing for top championship positions and should be allowed to battle it out fairly and squarely. Letting them through in a controlled manner also ensured that I didn’t lose any time in the manoeuvres because when it’s all said and done I'm entitled to control circumstances to my advantage. “The front guys were having a ding-dong battle in front of me and I stayed within reach for several laps, with only a small difference in lap times of not much more than one second, just in case there was an opening or a mishap; and there was. Television present Grant Denyer and another car went off. “Fernandez had been the first to get past me but somewhere amongst all this he sustained some damage and was circulating at about only eighty per cent speed. He had dropped back and I was stalking him for a passing opportunity which came on lap eleven. Fernandez is the last of the late-breakers and I had to go in deep which caused my rear brakes to lock up.

  • Simoncelli, Di Meglio and Dunlop Celebrate in Style!
    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.

  • Jack's Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 Race Wrap
    Jack's Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 Race Wrap... PRESENTED BY ADAPS - 100% AUSTRALIAN OWNED - QUALITY IT RECRUITMENT www.adaps.com.au This year marked the "50th Year of Bathurst", and it was a privilege to be driving for Garry Rogers Motorsport/Fujitsu Racing. The Bathurst race, the track, and the event is very special for me personally and for my family, with my father having tremendous success at this race across his 20 plus years of racing at Mount Panorama. The week kicked off on Wednesday, with a drivers parade through the main street of Bathurst, followed by an autograph session in town. The build up of the event, given the 50 years celebrations, was just massive, and the amount of fans and supporters that attended was simply awesome. The on track activity started on Thursday, with three practice sessions. This year I was driving with the Frenchman, Alexandre Premat, who had never been to Bathurst before, so the main priority on Day one was to give him as much track time as possible, and learn this tricky 6.2km circuit. Alex drove the #33 Fujitsu Commodore in the first and third practice session, while I drove in the second session, because it is a session for the co-drivers only. It was great to get out on the track and we managed the fifth fastest time. It was also good to get into competitive lap times straight away, also because we were on older practice tyres. Traditionally the GRM/Fujitsu cars are very competitive at Bathurst and I felt very comfortable straight away.
