Shannons Heads North for Winter Heat

One of the biggest round of the 2019 Shannons Nationals is upon us with a mammoth seven categories set to hit the track at Queensland Raceway on 2 – 4 August.

The visit caps off a big fortnight for the Ipswich based track, with the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship competing there the previous weekend.

Featuring a number of regular, returning and first time categories, the event will be non stop all weekend with the highly anticipated Australian Production Car Series’ ‘Fight in the Night’ once again taking centre stage.

T H E N AT I O N A L S . C O M . AU // 7

AUSTRALIAN PRODUCTION CAR SERIES All eyes will be on the Production Cars on Saturday night as the glowing brakes, neon lights and spruced up cars take centre stage for the seventh year.

Last year, series leaders Beric Lynton and Tim Leahey took out a dramatic win, which set up their outright round win after finishing fourth in the second race.

With a number of the big stars to return for the series’ biggest event for the year, there is much to look forward to as Iain and Grant Sherrin look to make amends for a heartbreaking loss last year.

CARSALES TCR AUSTRALIA SERIES The series reaches its halfway point in Ipswich, bringing with it new drivers and car swaps.

Despite series leader Will Brown being a mainstay on the podium for most of the year, there isn’t much in it for second place as four drivers find themselves in title contention and a couple of wins away for solidifying their spot on the outright podium.

As it has in every round this year, Qualifying on Saturday morning sets up the first race in the afternoon, with Sunday enjoying two races in succession.

PORSCHE MICHELIN GT3 CUP CHALLENGE It’s been a couple of months since the one-make category was in action with the series’ third round taking place at the start of June.

There have been three different winners from the three rounds so far, making it a very even season amongst the top three drivers in Harri Jones, Max Vidau and Aaron Love.

While Jones leads the way as standalone leader, nothing is separating Vidau and Love with both drivers equal second, making this weekend’s round one with a lot riding on it.

SERIES X3 QUEENSLAND

AUSTRALIAN PROTOTYPE SERIES With two rounds down and another three to go, David Barram looks like the man to beat in Queensland after winning four of the six races so far in 2019, his first coming in the Shannons Nationals’ season opener at Sydney Motorsport Park in May. His biggest competitors come in the form of round one winner Mark Short and reigning champion Jason Makris, who has continued to pile on the pressure this year, without actually grabbing a race win of his own.

The category has been excelling in many avenues this year with record entry lists and an increase in national interest. A strong weekend in Queensland will see the series continue its upwards momentum.

One of the most popular series around the country, the Hyundai one-make series is constantly getting full grids and this month, the season reaches its third round.

IMPROVED PRODUCTION RACING ASSOCIATION QLD

Surprise leader Cameron Wilson has been solid this year and is enjoying a slender eight point lead over 2016 champion Cameron Bartholomew, while 2017 champion Brock Goblin sits in fifth behind Kyle Evans and Mark Goldspink.

There will be Improved Production cars on the menu once again, only this time there is a little bit more spice added, with the category playing for points in their four round season instead of being an invitational round like it was at The Bend.

Last year, Giblin had a slow start to the season but claimed victory in the corresponding round at Queensland Raceway over eventual champion Frank Mammarella to put himself back in the mix – a win here would do the same for either Giblin, Evans or Goldspink.

NATIONAL SPORTS SEDANS SERIES The National Sports Sedans Series returns to the Shannons Nationals for the second consecutive round and for the final time in 2019.

The series' previous round at Morgan Raceway saw two new drivers take top spot in Steven Jukes and Harrison Cooper, but series leaders Justin Wade and Jason Clements took their battle a step higher after finishing third and fourth respectively.

Barely anything separates Matthew Dwyer and Ewen Johnston at the top of the under 2 Litre class, after Johnston squeezed past Dwyer inside the top 10 at the previous round.

A big weekend in Tailem Bend saw 10-time champion Tony Ricciardello extend his lead over reigning champion Steven Tamasi in the standings, while Jordan Caruso leapfrogged the whole competition into third thanks to his round win, despite posting the least amount of points in round one.

The category’s season has been quite mixed so far and a lot of questions remained unanswered, however Tamasi needs to finish ahead of Ricciardello should he have any chance of defending his title.
