V8 Supercars Championship leader Mark Winterbottom is in the box seat to win this year’s title. He leads by 239 points heading to Phillip Island and will be the 2015 V8 Supercars Champion....
V8 title race set for penultimate chapter
T
he destiny of the V8 Supercars championship will become clearer this weekend with the title fight set for its penultimate chapter at the WD-40 Phillip Island Super Sprint. After a wobble at Pukekohe last time out Mark Winterbottom remains in the box seat to claim a much coveted maiden V8 title. The Prodrive driver holds a 239 point lead over nearest rival and team-mate David Reynolds with Red Bull Racing Australia’s Craig Lowndes a point further back. In fact it is conceivable Winterbottom could wrap up the title at the Victorian circuit if he can extend his lead over his rivals by 62 points. If Winterbottom wins all three races at the Island, Reynolds will need to finish fourth or better in each heat in order to remain a mathematical chance of the championship at the Coates Hire Sydney 500 finale. While the title appears to be within Frosty’s grasp, a slip up this weekend will increase the pressure for the final round. The championship leader has struggled for form in the last two events with the Falcon ace’s last podium arriving at Bathurst a month ago. With Reynolds and Lowndes with nothing to lose, this
weekend promises to provide a fascinating battle and one which will play a large role in deciding this year’s championship. Lowndes has been particularly strong on the Island with seven podiums from his last 10 starts, while Winterbottom has form at the circuit too with two wins and seven podiums. Aside from the V8 Supercars title fight there will be plenty of action on the support bill, featuring the Touring Car Masters, the CAMS Jayco Formula 4 Championship, Aussie Racing Cars and Sports GTs.

V8 Supercars Championship leader Mark Winterbottom is in the box seat to win this year’s title. 1 He leads by 239 points heading to Phillip Island and will be the 2015 V8 Supercars Champion if he leaves the round with a 301 point advantage or more – earning 62 points over David Reynolds and Craig Lowndes will do it.
Winterbottom’s history 2 at Phillip Island is solid with two wins, seven podium finishes (three in the last four races there) and four pole positions over the course of his V8 Supercar career. He has qualified in the top four for the last eight races in a row at the circuit. Red Bull Racing 4 Australia star Lowndes shares
the record of most championship race wins at Phillip Island with Mark Skaife – nine victories.
The Bottle-O Racing Team’s Reynolds is Winterbottom’s closest 3 challenger for the championship with one point on Lowndes, but has never scored a podium finish in 14 race starts at Phillip Island since 2008 and not finished higher than sixth.
V8 Supercars WD-40 Phillip Island Super Sprint I Did You Know 5 The Holden Racing Team 6 holds the record for most championship race wins at Phillip
Island – a whopping 17. However, the factory Holden squad has just one race win there from the last 12 races spanning 2009 to 2014 (Garth Tander on the Saturday in 2013).
Lowndes is the most 5 experienced Phillip Island driver in the 2015
field with 18 rounds and 38 V8 Supercar races at the circuit. He’s also had five pole positions and 13 podium finishes there (including seven podiums from his last 10 starts).
Eleven of the 25 drivers in 7 the field for the WD-40 Phillip Island SuperSprint have scored V8
Supercars Championship podium finishes at the circuit in their careers. However, one high-profile driver not on the list is the Holden Racing Team’s James Courtney (best finish of fourth in 2009). He may be sidelined from injury 9 but Chaz Mostert is still in line to win one of the year’s prestigious
prizes, the ARMOR ALL Pole Position Award. He has 10 poles to his name and only Jamie Whincup or Scott McLaughlin could stop him winning, if one sweeps the six remaining poles. Either would win on count back, with both having more second place qualifying results than Mostert.
DJR Team Penske’s Scott Pye will celebrate his 100th V8 Supercars 8 Championship race start in the first Saturday sprint at Phillip Island. The 25-year-old scored his first career podium finish at Pukekohe and
the team’s first since becoming DJR Team Penske. However it was DJR’s 150th podium finish and first since July 2013 when Chaz Mostert won at Queensland Raceway.
The V8 Supercars 10 Manufacturer’s Award remains in the balance with 16
wins to Ford and 13 to Holden. Ford hasn’t won the award since 2009 and Holden is trying to become the first manufacturer to win it six times in a row

born for the 1989 Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix. The fast and flowing venue has been basically unchanged and hosts two international motorcycle events (MotoGP and World Superbikes) and a full program of national events each year. The circuit hosted V8 Supercars’ 500km pre-Bathurst endurance race between 2008 and 2011, before moving to a new format in 2012. The circuit was resurfaced before last year’s visit. 2014 Highlight: Jamie Whincup made V8 Supercars history as he effectively wrapped up a record sixth drivers title. 2015 Event Information: Friday: 2x60 minute Practice Sessions Saturday: 2x 15 minute Qualifying, 2x 60km Races Sunday: 1x 20 minute Qualifying, 1x 200km Race Tyre Format: 16 hard compound tyres will be supplied to each entry. Best Vantage Point: Watching on the outside of Turn 1-2 will see V8 Supercars negotiate a high speed Doohan corner followed by the Southern Loop.
