Format changes

[edit]
  • The events atSymmons Plains,Barbagallo,Hidden Valley,Queensland Raceway,WintonandPhillip Islandall featured a new three-race format, dubbed the "60/60 Sprint" format. The Saturday race was 120-kilometres in length but split into two 60-kilometre halves with a fifteen-minute break in between to allow teams the opportunity to service their cars. The starting grid for the second half of the race was determined by the finishing order of the first half of the race. The remaining two races were then held on Sunday at 100-kilometres in length each.[102]Originally, a driver who finished one lap down in the first half would remain one lap down at the start of the second half of the race. This was changed following the Symmons Plains event, with drivers who were a lap down at the end of the first half gaining the lap back for the second half.[103]
  • Teams were no longer required to compete with a co-driver from an international racing series for theGold Coast 600.Instead, teams were free to partner each of their drivers with any co-driver they choose, and allowed to enter the same co-drivers for theSandown 500,Bathurst 1000and Gold Coast 600.[104]The drivers with the most points from the three endurance races received the "Enduro Cup",a new trophy introduced for 2013.[105]

New Generation V8 Supercar

[edit]

TheNew Generation V8 Supercar(originallyCar of the Future) project was first announced in2008,when a working group was established to explore options for the long-term future of the category. The study found that in the fifteen years since the category had been restricted to a two manufacturers, the costs of building and racing with a competitive car had doubled, with some estimates putting the cost as high asA$600,000 per car, per season.[106][107]

The Car of the Future program was created to address this, aiming to reduce running costs to $250,000. This was achieved through the use of "control" parts; where teams had previously been charged with designing and developing their own parts, the Car of the Future regulations called for these parts to be built independently and to a set specification. The basicchassisandroll cage,differential,brakes,coolingandfuel systemsandrear suspensionwere all changed to control parts.[108]

The category also introduced a largerfuel tankto combat the phenomenon of "economy racing" whereby drivers would be forced to drive conservatively late in the race so as to preserve enough fuel to reach the finish. The larger tanks and a restructuring of event formats to include more compulsory pit stops instead allowed drivers to push as hard as they pleased until the end of the race.[109]

Manufacturers were free to develop their ownaerodynamic aidsto suit their cars, which were then put through a rigorous system of parity testing so as to refine the aerodynamics of each model of car so as to prevent one model from having a distinct advantage over the others. Finally, manufacturers were also given the option of using "generic" engines developed by the category and re-badged to reflect the manufacturer using them[110]—though as the season started, no manufacturers had elected to do so—or developing their ownengines,which would be built to specifications and then be subject to a process ofhomologationto ensure that all engines developed by the manufacturer would be identical. In order to ensure the cars can remain competitive, the process of homologation only applies to the basic engine platform, which teams will be free to develop over the course of the season.[76]

With the requirement that all teams build brand-new cars for the 2013 season, most of the cars that were raced in 2011 and 2012 were sold to teams competing in theV8 Development Series,the second-tier category for V8 Supercars.[111][112][113]

In November 2013 theCar of the Futurewas officially renamed theNew Generation V8 Supercar.[114]

Whincup later caused controversy when he claimed that "external factors" had inspired an unorthodox penalty that he, Coulthard andCraig Lowndeswere given for breaching safety car regulations in the third race,[130]implying that the penalty had been applied to allow a different driver to win the race. Elsewhere,Rick Kellydemonstrated theNissan Altima L33'sdevelopment by securing four top-ten finishes, whilstJames Moffatclaimed an extra top-ten finish for the marque in the second race.Erebus Motorsport,on the other hand, continued their difficult introduction to V8 Supercars, spending most of the weekend outside the top twenty.

David Reynoldstook the second pole position of his career atHidden Valley Racewayand despite leading the 60/60 Sprint race at the halfway mark, contact withMark Winterbottomrobbed him of the chance to take his maiden victory.Jamie Whincupwent on to win the race ahead ofShane van Gisbergen,who had spent most of practice struggling with mechanical problems, andJames Courtney.Courtney claimed his first pole position since theWinton eventin the2010 seasonfor the second race, whilst Reynolds bounced back from his difficulties in the sprint race to take pole again. Winterbottom recovered from the Saturday incident to win the second race from Courtney andCraig Lowndes,while Lowndes would win the third race ahead of Winterbottom and Reynolds. Whincup was given a drive-through penalty in the third race for spinning his wheels while the car was in the air, allowing Lowndes to close the points gap in the championship.James Rosenberg Racing'sTim Sladedemonstrated a reversal of fortunes for theMercedes AMG E63teams, finishing in the top ten in the first race and qualifying inside the top ten for the second and third races. However, his luck ran out on the first lap in the third race when he was involved in a multi-car accident which caused a red flag and eliminated himself,Lee Holdsworth,Alex Davison,Dean Fiore,David Wall,Alexandre PrématandJames Moffat.Scott McLaughlin,Jason Bright,Fabian CoulthardandRussell Ingallwere also involved in the crash but were able to take part in the restarted race.

However, a penalty from a pit lane infringement dropped him down the order. TheFord Performance Racingduo ofWill DavisonandMark Winterbottomwere able to capitalise on this and take a one-two finish ahead ofBrad Jones Racing'sFabian Coulthard.[132]Winterbottom took pole for the second race on Sunday but lost out on strategy, after many drivers pitted during an early safety car to do a double stint on soft tyres. TheHolden Racing Teamutilised this strategy to finish first and second, their first win since the2011 Bathurst 1000,withGarth TanderleadingJames Courtney.Van Gisbergen rounded out the podium while Winterbottom finished fourth.[133]Championship leadersTriple Eight Race Engineeringendured a difficult weekend, with bothJamie WhincupandCraig Lowndesqualifying outside of the top ten for the first race.
