Round 4 NSW state Championships August 11th & 12th 2012

A Brief History of Wakefield Park

The Wakefield Park circuit was built by Paul Samuels and John Carter and was opened officially by

John Fahey, the then NSW Premier and member for the Goulburn district in November 1994.

It was built with club motor sport firmly in mind and with the control tower and paddock facilities and carports it made some of our existing circuits look a bit out dated. Track days and supersprints were the usual events with race days for cars, motor bikes and go karts also becoming popular at

the circuit.

At 2.2 kilometres, with an reasonable length straight leading to a section of uphill bends with the loop at the top of the hill and then a downhill run into what became known as the fish hook section and a negatively banked last turn onto the main straight the circuit offered quite a challenge to

achieve a quick lap.

In 2000 the circuit changed hands for the first time with Rob Hodgkinson and Paul Phillips taking over. Soon after the change over the circuit was re-profiled with changes to the fish hook area and the final turn onto the main straight. Both of these changes improved the flow of the circuit, the

fish hook area in particular allowing for a faster run onto the back straight.

Under the new ownership the Wakefield Park licensing and permit system was introduced. This gave clubs a cheaper alternative to CAMS for the running of events and members could also pur-chase a Wakefield licence with which they could compete in events that they may not normally be able to on a level 2 licence. Now the circuit uses the AASA insurance and permit system that which is now being used by a large proportion of motor sport promoters and clubs for events around the

country.

The Speed off the street days that allowed people to drive their own cars on the circuit under the Wakefield licence system, encouraging speed at the right venue and not on public roads were also

introduced and continue today.

From 2001 to 2008 the circuit held a round of the V8 development series, this for many years being the only stand alone round for those cars. The pit lane garages were added at this time, once again

improving the circuit’s facilities.

In January 2007 the circuit was bought by the Benalla Auto Club, the owners of the Winton circuit in country Victoria. At the end of 2008 a major re-surfacing of the circuit took place and this again has led to better lap times. 2010 has seen the introduction of a lighting system at all flag points that will warn drivers of incidents on the circuit and be operated from race control. With the com-plex now managed by Mathew Ronke and ongoing improvements happening the circuit is still a great

club sport venue.

With a great cafe and complete circuit viewing from the spectator

areas enjoy today’s racing.

The current lap record for the circuit is held by Ben Chrithon driving an F3 open wheeler and stands at 54.563 seconds, a fairly

quick time.

Wakefield Park, just another

great part of the Goulburn area.

Round 4 NSW state Championships August 11th & 12th 2012

The sports Sedans are al-

ways a crowd favourite at

Wakefield Park, where the

sight and sound of these

lightweight high powered

high winged monsters is a

spectacle not to be missed.

Championship leader com-

ing into this round is

Bathurst driver Stuart In-

wood, with his AU Ford Fal-

con, a de-registered V8 Su-

percar. Inwood has accumu-

lated 180 points to date, but

just four in arrears is Geoff

Whittaker in his Holden

Commodore VT

Anthony Macready third in

the championship with just

this and another round at

Sydney Motorsport Park re-

maining is still in with a

chance of becoming the

2012 champion in his pretty

Nissan 300ZX, as he is only

ten behind Whittaker.

Showing just how open this

year’s Sports Sedan title has

become is the closeness at

the pointy end of the field,

for the gap between Inwood

at the top of the table and

Simon Copping in fourth is

only 16 points.

Steven Shiels has entered

his Chev Camaro. The

Bathurst driver way back in

10th place in the champion-

ship with 78 points is still

quite capable of causing an

upset this weekend.

Back in 18th place with just

98 points, and seemingly

not in a position to win this

year’s championship, Chris

Jackson will still be one of

the favoured drivers this

weekend in his Holden Cali-

bre.

last state round at Wake-

field Park conducted in late

April, Jackson took pole in

the Calibre, but then the

first race was won by Dar-

ren Saillard a former sprint

car racer driving a Ford Fal-

con BA, and the remaining

two by Macready.

Not only is there excitement

plus at the front of the grid,

but it will be also action

packed down through the

field.

What should be a battle of

epic proportions should be

between three Victorian

drivers in their Under 2 litre

Sports Sedans, David

Runkel in his Proton Satria,

Scott Manson (BMW) and

Shane Howard driving his

Toyota Corolla.

Round 4 NSW state Championships August 11th & 12th 2012

The fourth round of the NSW

Production Touring Car

Championship will be con-

ducted at Wakefield Park

this weekend, with the Pro-

duction Touring Car Cham-

pionship moving from the

sprint rounds to the Endur-

ance phase.

The Production Touring Car

championship is at a very

interesting stage, with only

28 points separating the top

eight, and as such it should

ensure an extremely exciting

weekend of racing at the

Goulburn circuit.

Current championship

leader and defending Pro-

duction Touring Car cham-

pion Bob Pearson has opted

to run the one hour race

solo in the Pro-Duct Mo-

torsports Mitsubishi Evo 8.

Driving solo should not be a

problem for Pearson, for he

is a veteran of endurance

racing with many Bathurst

1000 and 12 hour race

starts to his credit.

However, Central Coast Hol-

den R8 driver Paul Lane is

only 10 points behind the

veteran Sydney driver, and

with Phillip Holden as his co

driver will be out to chase

for a win.

Gosford’s Luke King, cur-

rently third in the 2012

championship only six

points off Lane has engaged

the young Sydneysider

Grant Doulman to share the

driving of his EA Ford Fal-

con.

Doulman is the son of for-

mer Touring Car star Peter

Doulman, and this year has

been driving sports sedans

and he has past experience

in Formula Fords and the

Mini Challenge.

Another two point’s further

back in the championship

pointscore is Tony Virag in

fourth, and he has Steve

Hodges driving with him in

the HSV GTS. Virag went

into the final round of the

2011 championship only one

point behind Pearson, and

he will be out to minimise

the gap this year before the

grand finale.

A former HSV driver, Gerry

Murphy is driving the Jim

Pollicina entered Mitsubishi

Evo 9. Murphy is having a

good season, currently sit-

ting equal sixth in the title

chase, only four points be-

hind Virag, and this week-

end will have Porsche driver

Tom McGann with him in

the Evo, and they should not

be discounted.

There will be other drivers in

the field capable of podium

finishes, and who are not in

contention for the champi-

onship, so they may become

spoilers to those that are

chasing the title.

Among those is Gerry Bur-

gess, a veteran of several

Bathurst 1000’s, and a long

time competitor in produc-

tion racing behind the wheel

of a Mitsubishi Evo 7. He

has the benefit of having his

son Leigh, a well performed

driver from Formula Fords

and Production cars with

him.

20th in the title chase, Rod

Thorpe was thought to be co

-driving with Virag, but has

entered his own GTS and

will be driving solo.

Also in the field is a Ford

XR8 V8 Ute, to be driven by

the Kavich brothers, Ben

who drives in the V8 Ute Se-

ries, and Michael who com-

petes in the HQ races.
