TEAM PENSKE DYNAMIC KEY TO SCOTTY SPEED
Images: Motorsport Images AFTER WINNING his second IndyCar Series race, at Mid-Ohio, Scott McLaughlin has credited his new engineer and the atmosphere within the team for his strong start to the 2022 season. Along with his Team Penske teammates Will Power and Josef Newgarden, the trio have won six of the nine IndyCar Series races and are all in championship contention. He believes having three highly competitive yet friendly drivers within the team is pushing the team forward. “The vibe of us working together within the three cars is really cool,” he told Auto Action. “The camaraderie between all of us is really, really strong. “We’re working together as well as we really can be I think – we joke around, we hang out, but we really all want to beat each other. “Everyone knows how much we want to beat each other, but it’s a competitive rivalry that we really enjoy. “It’s rubbing off on some of the engineers
and mechanics and everyone involved, everyone’s getting that same energy and it’s a very positive vibe at the moment!” This year McLaughlin took on a new engineer, Ben Bretzman. The pair get along well and McLaughlin explained how essential he has been to his results: “We’re working together really well,” he stated. “Benny’s a unique character; he loves having fun and just enjoying it, which is exactly how I like to work. “He’s a strong engineer and has got so many great ideas. “There’s no-one better in my corner to have than Benny, and he’s a very big supporter and big confidence booster to have in the camp, for sure.” Prior to the win at Mid-Ohio, McLaughlin had scored just two top 10 finishes in six races – however he turned that around emphatically on the twisty Mid-Ohio course. McLaughlin reckons he had not lost pace, but he just needed to stitch it all together.
“We’ve been fast all year – every track we’ve gone to road, street, short oval, oval, we’ve been fast. It’s just a matter of putting all the pieces together which is sometimes so hard to do in IndyCar racing,” he explained. “The pace has always been there – I’ve either made a mistake, or the team has potentially just made a slight hiccup as well, but it was never a case of lost speed. When asked if he was back in the championship hunt following the win, the New Zealander felt he was getting closer but can’t afford another bad result. “Definitely was a great step for us,” he replied. “We’ve shown pace over the last
month or so just but haven’t put it together. “To get a win gets us back in that closer bracket, (but) we’ve still got a bit of a way to go; it gives us a bit more belief, but at the end of the day, we’re in a position where we can’t afford a bad race right now. We’ve just got to keep knocking out good ones and continuing to execute.” Dan McCarthy
HILL AFTER BATHURST 1000 CO-DRIVE SUPER2 SERIES Triple Eight Race Engineering driver Cameron Hill is optimistic of securing a Bathurst 1000 co-drive following a solid podium finish in Townsville last weekend. After a two-month break, the Super2 Series returned to Townsville, a track Hill won at on his way to the Carrera Cup title last year. As a rookie Hill has impressed in his first three Super2 Series rounds, scoring two podium finishes and is hopeful that a couple more good results will be enough to secure a co-driver position. “It’s cool what I’m working towards, I’m hoping I can

grab one of these last few codriver seats that are available for the Bathurst 1000. For sure, a strong weekend will always be beneficial, but my main focus is to get the best results I can and try to put together the Dunlop Super2 championship. Vacant co-driver seats remain at Team 18, Matt Stone Racing and PremiAir Racing, all of which are Triple Eight customer teams. A spot is also available at Brad Jones Racing alongside Jack Smith. A PremiAir Racing seat seems the most the most likely option as he took part in a ride day with the team last month at Queensland Raceway.
His Super2 Series rival Tyler Everingham and Carrera Cup Series leader Harri Jones has also completed laps in the car that day. As well as the ride day Hill has completed a further two tests at Queensland Raceway in his Super2 machine and therefore feels he is race ready ahead of Bathurst. “The test days have gone well; we’ve had a lot of seat time,” he said. “We had a ride day after our test for guests of Triple Eight and we certainly cut a lot of laps. From a seat time perspective, it’s been good just recently.” Dan McCarthy
CAMPBELL NOT COUNTING OUT SUPERCARS RETURN DESPITE BEING signed as a factory Porsche Penske Motorsport driver, Australian Matt Campbell is not ruling out Supercars Championship co-drives beyond this year. It’s unlikely – in case you have not heard, Matt Campbell will race a Porsche 963 Hypercar in either the IMSA Sportscar Championship or World Endurance Championship from 2023. Auto Action this week discussed Campbell’s Porsche promotion – see pages 32-33 for the full story.. However, Campbell also discussed the likelihood of a return to Supercars co-driving in the future. Despite the extensive 963 testing program, Campbell confirmed he will still return to co-drive alongside reigning Bathurst 1000 winner Lee Holdsworth in the Grove Racing Ford Mustang in the ‘Great Race’ in October. “I’ll still be coming back at the end of the year partnering Lee Holdsworth with Grove Racing,” he confirmed. Campbell was asked if racing the 963 will rule him out of Supercars co-drives in the coming years – the former Carrera Cup Australia Series winner explained that he would like to return if he can, however Porsche obviously takes preference. “I love coming back for that race, any opportunity I can get that fits in with the calendar, I’ll quite happily try and make it
back,” Campbell explained. “Obviously, going forward, that might be made a little bit more difficult now, but anything’s possible. In the few last years, I’ve always tried to have the possibility. “Obviously, I don’t want to take anything away from what I’m doing with Porsche. That’s the number one priority, but if there’s a date that works and there’s a bit of time
before and after, I don’t see why not.” The former Le Mans 24 Hours GTE Am class and Bathurst 12 Hour winner has competed in the Bathurst 1000 three-times. He raced with Kelly Racing in 2016 driving a Nissan Altima with Todd Kelly. He impressed and was picked up the following year by Triple Eight Race Engineering to sit alongside Shane van Gisbergen. That year
he finished fifth in the 1000 and scored a podium on the streets of the Gold Coast. After several years away he returned with Kelly Grove Racing last year (pictured above) alongside Andre Heimgartner. Note: if rumours circulating are correct, we may see the 963 Porsche racing for the first time late this year, rather than 2023 ... Dan McCarthy

MORE F2 FOR S5000 TASMAN STAR STAND-IN
THIRD SETON SIGNS TO RACE IN 1000 THE SETON surname will return to the Bathurst 1000 grid in 2022 with Matt Stone Racing confirming that Aaron Seton will codrive alongside Jack Le Brocq. It will be the first time that the Supercars Championship will see a third-generation racer take to the grid in the ‘Great Race’. Seton has been contesting the second-tier Super2 Series with the team, in which he has achieved a best result of fifth this season. “I am very thankful to the team, from Matt, Jason, and the whole crew. I’m just looking forward to getting to the 1000,” Seton said. “It’s awesome to be joining a guy like Jack and I really admire the way he has gone about his racing this year since working closer with him. “It’s very special and surreal to be the third generation Seton to do the Bathurst event.” The Seton family has amassed a combined 48 Bathurst 500/1000 starts to its name, with Aaron’s debut at the Mountain later this year taking that to 49. Their long-standing history at Bathurst spans back with 1965 when Barry ‘Bo’ Seton
claimed victory in what was then known as the Armstrong 500. Aaron’s Father Glenn made his great race debut in 1983 and came close to Bathurst victory on numerous occasions, scoring four podiums, three of which saw him stand on the second step. “Obviously, my pop won it back in 1965 and then dad came so close in ’95 so it will be a special moment to go to the event for my first time as a driver and give it a red-hot crack as Jack and I try to aim for that top step.” Aaron himself is also no stranger to Bathurst endurance racing having previously completed three times in the Bathurst 12 Hour, notably scoring a GT4 class win in 2018. More recently he finished on the podium in his last Super2 race at Bathurst in 2021. He also walked away from the weekend with rookie of the round honours. Jack Le Brocq is excited to be teaming up with Seton. “He is a great young fella and I’ve
been able to get to know him quite well throughout the year,” Jack explained. “I am looking forward to teaming up with him; third generation Seton in the sport to do Bathurst is pretty cool and I reckon we will have a pretty good run.” Seton will undertake double duties at the Bathurst 1000 event which he and Le Brocq both agree will work in his favour. “It’s great that Aaron’s actually running in the Dunlop series as well over the Bathurst weekend” says Le Brocq. “I’ve done it many times before when I was a co-driver and it’s really crucial to just get those laps in around there. “It’s a very daunting place at the best of times and it will be very full on, so for Aaron to be able to complement his running with his Dunlop series program will allow us to get the most out of him come Sunday.” Jack and Aaron will complete at least one test day together at Queensland Raceway in the next couple of months ahead of October’s Bathurst 1000 event.

ROBERTO MERHI, who shone in last year’s inaugural S5000 Tasman Series (above), has shocked the F2 fraternity with a sensational podium while filling in for the injured Ralph Boschung at Campos Racing – and willImage: remain in the car for a further round. The Spaniard was drafted in at short notice as Boschung’s neck injury failed to respond to treatment in time and took on the cream of F2 having not sat in an F2 car for four years (his last single-seater racing being the 2021 Tasman Series) and without any pre-event testing. After a cautious Qualifying and Sprint race, Merhi starred in a wet/dry Feature race, working his way from a grid 21 start to finish third. Starting on slicks – as did nearly all the field, Merhi simply handled the changing conditions brilliantly. Mehri, the oldest driver in the race at 31, was in fact second over the line, but imposition of a number of the frustrating ‘track limits’ penalties affecting several drivers at the Red Bull Ring – including five seconds for himself – resulted in a thirdplace final result. Shortly after the race, Boschung tweeted his congratulations – and a second invitation: “As I am still recovering, I have called @robertomerhi after his incredible race, first to congratulate him and secondly I want him to continue driving in my car for the next F2 race. I support 100% talent and not a driver with 100% money … #vamosTeto.” Merhi will slot into the car for the next F2 race, at Budapest, in three weeks’ time – and has indicated his desire to return for the 2023 S5000 Tasman Series later this year.

RED BULL RACING ANNOUNCES ROAD CAR IN THE lead up to the British Grand Prix, Red Bull Racing announced that it will build its first ever inhouse Hypercar, titled the RB17. The machine will be created under the leadership of Chief Technical Officer and legendary F1 designer Adrian Newey with a limited run of 50 cars to be built at Red Bull Advanced Technologies’ campus. The RB17 follows the naming convention of the team’s F1 cars Although no computer-generated images have been released, Red Bull Racing has announced that the car will be powered by a V8 hybrid engine expected to produce over 1,100bhp (820kW). The car will be designed around a carboncomposite tub, utilising ground-effect like the current generation F1 car, and will be able to seat two people, the driver and a passenger. The price is certainly on the more expensive side, expected to start at over five million pounds ($8.828 million Aussie dollars). “The RB17 marks an important milestone in the evolution
16 I www.autoaction.com.au
of Red Bull Advanced Technologies, now fully capable of creating and manufacturing a series production car at our Red Bull Technology Campus,” said Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner.
“Further, the RB17 marks the first time that a car wearing the Red Bull brand has been available to collectors. Newey, who has designed championship winning cars for Williams, McLaren and Red Bull Racing added that this car will carry a lot of DNA from Formula 1 cars. “The RB17 distills everything we know about creating championship-winning Formula 1 cars into a package that delivers extreme levels of performance in a two-seat track car,” he said. “Driven by our passion for performance at every level, the RB17 pushes design and technical boundaries far beyond what has been previously available to enthusiasts and collectors.” Just 50 RB17s will be created, with production not set to commence until the start of 2025. Notably, all owners will have access to the team’s simulators, vehicle programme development and on-track training while the factory team will service and maintain each car personally. Dan McCarthy
MORE THAN JUST
PRETTY PICTURES BEHIND THE SCENES AT SUPERCARS TELEVISION By Paul Gover THE INSIDE of the broadcast compound at a Supercars race is another world. It’s a world where whole walls of screens reflect the on-track action, where data flows as freely as a thousand simultaneous Google searches, and where a team as talented as any group in the pitlane garages is also racing for success. Just like the action on the track, every second counts in television land. The difference is that there is no champagne or victory podium, although there have been Logie awards for a job (very, very) well done.
28 I www.autoaction.com.au
Neil Crompton is the front man in television land, but there are many dozens of people making him and Jess Yates and Mark Skaife and Garth Tander and the rest of the ‘talking heads’ look good in lounge rooms and man caves across the country. They have to sound good, too. Then there are the graphics, from the ticker tape that reflects the race places on every lap through to the time clocks for qualifying and the point-score panels that pop up at the finish of every race. Phew. It’s a massive undertaking and much more than just about beaming pretty pictures back from the track.
“The objective is to present the sport in the best possible light, and also to entertain and educate the viewers,” the former head of Supercars Television, Nathan Prendergast, tells Auto Action. “That’s not a hard-and-fast rule, that’s just my opinion. But I think it works. “Every time we turn up, our aim is to make sure that we capture the story of what’s happened since we arrived and why it has happened. We also have to make sure we tell the story of the strategy and personality for each race. And we also have to make it broadly understandable to anyone watching.” Prendergast is gone now from the television
compound after more than 20 years, headed for a new challenge in Tony Cochrane’s ambitious new FIM Supercross World Championship and his personal passion project, the promotion and television coverage of the Australian Top Fuel drag racing championship. But he has seen and driven it all and leaves an incredible legacy as David Tunnicliffe moves up to become the head of the broadcast team. Venturing into the heart of Supercars Television, after a rare and welcome invitation from Prendergast, is a mind altering event. There is so much happening. So many levels.

So many people. It’s like stepping through a portal into a parallel universe where the gods of television are watching everything and making splitsecond decisions on who and what to send to the big screen. If you’ve seen the movie The Truman Show, you’ll have some idea of what it’s like. But only a taste. It’s impossible to remotely unwrap and unravel the action during a Supercars broadcast, apart from watching the biggest screen in front of Tunnicliffe to maintain a grip on what’s happening on the track outside. It looks and feels a lot like the command centre for a space launch. Minus the cigarette smoke from the moon shots in the sixties, of course. There are specialists in every area and every chair, feeding and filtering the soundand-picture inputs from around the circuit before it is rapidly analysed, priorities and graded to ensure that only the best stuff heads for homes. “The television viewer needs to get the maximum show with the best possible

storytelling and entertainment. That’s the shit that makes it special,” says Prendergast. Turning back to basics, there are fixed camera positions around the circuit, roving wireless cameras in the pit and paddock, the ‘desk’ in one of the garages where the ’talent’ do their interviews and analysis, the commentary booth where Neil Crompton and Mark Skaife spruik the action, and then two giant trucks which are home to the technical team. There is a third truck for meetings and office work. No-one talks about the cost of running the Supercars show, but there are six-figure salaries for the key players – both ahead and behind the cameras – and giant bills for everything from the technical ‘bump-in’ required to connect everything at each track through to catering during the Bathurst 1000 week. One number does emerge, and it’s a big one. “I believe that HD5, the main broadcast truck, is worth something like $10 million. They are an expensive piece of kit,” says Prendergast. Much of the technical equipment is owned

GRITTY WIN FOR BITUMEN BOYS TARGA CHAMPIONS Eddie Maguire and Zak Brakey (above) returned to the gravel with a strong performance in rounds two and three of the Shannon’s Rally Launceston on June 25-26. The two rounds were run on consecutive days alongside the Australian championship, on the same stages. The 2020 state rally champions finished fifth outright in the ARC in their Mitsubishi EVO 9 as well as convincing wins in both rounds of the TRC. They were better as the weekend went on, won the Saturday two-heat round by over 42s, and claimed the Sunday’s third round pair of heats by an even more impressive 1min and 13s. They set the pace right from the outset,
NATIONALS WRAP with Garry O’Brien with a first stage win by 20s from Bodie Read and Mark Young (Subaru Impreza WRX STi). Maguire’s brother, Steve with Stuart Benson (EVO 9) were a further 6s
back. Maguire extended their gap in the second stage, but lost 40s in stage three to slip to second. Steve Maguire set a blistering pace to win the stage by more than 43s to take the lead and win the first heat. However, he was out on the next with a blown engine. Eddie Maguire fired back into the lead with a blistering fourth stage, 22s better than Reading, and continued his dominant run to win the last three stages. Ben and Ruebecca Sheldrick (Holden Commodore) made amends for their DNF in Round 1 when their wipers failed in atrocious conditions, to dominate the 2WD category by 3mins 19s over Jaidyn Gluskie
and Sam Berwick (Hyundai Excel). Starting with a clean slate on Sunday made little difference at the pointy end with Maguire and Brakey again showing the way. In the first stage as they powered away to a 16s win. Reading was 2s faster in the next stage but were unable to match the pace of the EVO, apart from a narrow 0.9s win in the penultimate stage. Behind second placed Reading and Young, Ben Newman and Steve Glenney (WRX) were consistent, third fastest in every stage, to finish 1min 34s behind. Sheldrick again dominated the 2WD, 44s ahead of Jacob and Adrian Walsh (Mazda RX7) who didn’t finish the previous day. Martin Agatyn
NISSEN/HARNESS THRIVE IN THE DRY WET PATCHES on Saturday added to the challenge of the Guidolin Carpentry SGORA 200 run at Port Germein on June 25-26. But a drier track on Sunday saw Daryl Nissen and Andrew Harness (ProLite SORE/Nissan – right) take a comfortable win. Pacesetter Luke Erceg (ECE Honey Badger/Nissan) had driveline issues which put him out late in the race when he had a strong lead. Brenton and Matthew Gallasch (Southern Cross/Chev Pro Buggy) were a bit of the pace but came home a safe second. In their 1340cc GSX-R Suzukipowered Super1650 Tiny Built GSXR3, Darren and Lewis Oliver (Tiny Built GSXR3) showed up a lot of more powerful machines, and took the bottom step of the podium in the car’s second race. Less than 2mins behind them were Chris and Colin Johnson (Custom/Nissan) and just over a minute back to Trevor Snow and Darrin Jocey-Prior (S&S Race Frames/Mitsubishi). Nick and Alex

Justin and Mark Battersby (Rimco/ Toyota) made it across the line in seventh, narrowly out running Blair
and Cooper Johns (Southern Cross/ Toyota). Geoff Brennen and Brett Beaty (SXS Pro Can-Am X3) were
next home, as they held off Lauren and Rich Andrews (S&S WOFTAM/ Nissan) who rounded out the top 10. Luke Mudde and Todd Curgenven (Can-Am X3) came away from their first event very happy with third in SXS Pro after problems on day one and a clean run home on Sunday. Michael Shipton and Paul Chorlton (Performance 2WD Ford SBH Ranger/Chev) were the last to complete the full distance after a lost wheel and stop to make repairs. So close were Mick and Dave Heasman (Predator/Toyota) until broken steering on the last lap. David Hall and Corey Hayworth (Murphy/Nissan) didn’t get to challenge for the lead with a small oil fire which put them out on lap one. Shane Waters and Scott Watson (Southern Cross/Mitsubishi) led Sportslites until a broken CV with four laps to go. That promoted Ben Erceg and David Mussell (Racer/ Nissan) but one lap later they broke a front arm. David Batchelor
PROS TO THE FOUR PRO BUGGYS placed one-two-threefour in the Scotts Hydraulic Services Dondingalong Challenge, the second round of the Hunter Rivmasta NSW Off Road Championship on July 2-3 which was won by David Chandler and Jonathon Ryan (pictured). They overcame the very wet, muddy and slippery conditions best of the 35 competitors and piloted their Jimco/Chev to victory by 14.9s. Second were Darren and Darby Williamson (Jimco 2000/Chev) with another 10.4s to Tom Dixon and Jesse McGrath (Jimco/Toyota turbo). Hosted by the Kempsey Macleay Off Road Club, the event consisted of five rounds of four laps each. The first round was won by Chandler, ahead of the SXS Turbo class Adam Jiear/Jason White and Michael McLean/Patrina Reichel in their SXS Turbo Can-Ams, and Williamson. Two of the pre-event favourites had early dramas. Phil Lovett and Luke Stanley (Can-Am) had a battery terminal problem but came back the strongest after the round one DNF. Justin Guy and Lachlan Davies (Jimco/Chev) had a crank sensor failure in prologue and finished Round 1 in 28th. Lovett bounced back strongly with a win on the second round, ahead of Chandler and Williamson. Guy was sixth, behind Dixon and Jiear. Lovett repeated in Round 3, this time with Chandler second in front of Guy, Dixon, Williamson and Jake and James Conomos in their Sportsman Rivmasta/Suzuki. Chandler consolidated his overall first place with victory in Round 4. Lovett was

Despite impaired vision from muddy water filling his helmet, Guy took out the fifth round with Lovett again second and Williamson third ahead of Chandler. Guy’s victory in the last elevated him to fourth overall. Next came Jiear from McLean, Ben and Jamie Scott (Jimco/ Chev), and Richard and Terese Wilton (HiJunx/Toyota) who won Super1650.
Behind Derek Seam (BRB/Toyota turbo), Conomos was tenth. Tait Svenson and Chris Affoo (Stealth Predator/GM Ecotec) won ProLite, Darren and Josh Blackburn (Nissan Patrol) scored Performance 4WD, and Brendan and Ian Hill took Sportslite in their second outing in the Hurrican/Nissan. Extreme 4WD went to Shane and Leonard Ramsay (Nissan Patrol V8). Garry O’Brien
