00:01Where sleepy tree-lined streets welcome careful drivers.
00:08A tranquil place where you can escape the stress of city traffic and the rigors of road rage.
00:20On safe, well-maintained roads, renowned for their low accident record.
00:25That is Craig Baird on the entry to Penn Lane, can you believe that?
00:30Oh no, that's a bad one, yeah.
00:33That thing just lost.
00:35Wow, that was a major impact.
00:39Three weeks ago in the GMC 400, Canberra turned on a Shell Series traffic jam that had everyone in a spin.
00:46A full reverse grid, three different race winners and sharp pit tactics that proved decisive for overall winner Stephen Richards.
00:53Stephen Richards will win the round, that is confirmation of that fact.
00:57It's time to swap your snowboard for a surfboard.
01:00We're heading north to Queensland Raceway.
01:03Round 7 of the Shell Championship Series.
01:06Exclusive to your home of motorsport, Network 10.
01:10It's going to beal hell.
01:11Go, we're heading north to squad.
01:12Right next door to the Amelie Air Base and the fans have riding the quarantine and try going
01:13to walk you in.
01:14We've got a few times and grateful and Patlers.
01:15Go, we've got a few times.
01:16Go, we've got a few times и figure for shots of people,
01:17go, we've got a few times and take more earners at college euro harmed just whenever shooting
01:18for fresh and� to the soirates.
01:19We've got some of the群 etwas out vicivity of the 곱inToo,
01:20and we've got a hockey range at the start of 12 where we've got to offer
01:21theomars.
01:22and we've got easter and wins.
01:23what's going to do for dessert.
01:24Govil Collins, go, He Hills to get away and put a motorway on the post,
01:25Right next door to the Amberley Airbase
01:39and the famous Willowbank Drag Strip.
01:41This is Queensland Raceway, the venue for Round 7
01:44and the halfway mark of the Shell Championship Series.
01:47Hello, Andre Grust. Welcome to sunny Queensland.
01:50It's the first time the V8 supercar drivers
01:52have ventured to this part of Australia this season
01:54and there's a lot of local-based Ford teams
01:56keen to try and eat into Holden's domination
01:58of this Championship so far.
02:00Ford, though, have got their work cut out for them.
02:03They've only won two races, let alone a round, so far this season.
02:06Let's take a look at the scorecard
02:07and I tell you, it's a pretty telling one, isn't it?
02:10126 points. Mark Scape leads this Championship by.
02:13Glenn Seaton, the best of the Ford pilots in second there.
02:16Garth Tander, who was our early series leader,
02:18really does need to score maximum points here
02:20if he's to have any hope of getting back in the hunt for the title chase.
02:23Craig Lowndes, the defending series winner, sits in fourth place.
02:26There's another telling statistic for you.
02:28John Bauer in the Canterbillard Ford
02:30is languishing in 14th position,
02:32a former winner of this Championship
02:33and the man who had the honour
02:34of having the first ever pole at Queensland Raceway.
02:37Well, Dick Johnson has, for as long as I can remember anyway,
02:40been the favourite son of Queensland.
02:42But around 15 years ago,
02:44Queensland adopted a likeable POM.
02:45And he's now their favourite son as well.
02:47Hello, mate. Welcome.
02:47How you doing?
02:48Good to see you.
02:49Now, listen, since we were last here at Queensland Raceway,
02:51they have made some changes, Barry,
02:53to the nature of this circuit.
02:54Yeah, they have.
02:55The last race here,
02:56which was the first, very first race,
02:58they had a lot of problems with the tyres blistering
03:00and that was caused from a very high temperature.
03:03So what they've done,
03:04they've hydro-blasted the circuit.
03:06That means they've taken the dirt out
03:08from between the stones,
03:09so the stones stick up a lot more
03:11and it doesn't put such a high temperature into the rubber.
03:14And as far as yesterday,
03:15there hadn't been any blistering.
03:17Also, the circuit has settled
03:19because last year was the first ever race on it.
03:21So it's become very bumpy.
03:22If you look during the telecast,
03:24you can see,
03:24especially at the end of the main straight,
03:26both main straights,
03:27it's very, very bumpy on the approach.
03:29Also, today is Russell Engels' 50th Shelby 8-star.
03:33Yeah, it's going to be a great weekend,
03:34hopefully, for the Enforcer.
03:35He won the third race at Eastern Creek.
03:37Will we see him back on the podium here today?
03:39Well, at the end of qualifying,
03:40the Red Barons had done it again.
03:42Craig Lowndes on pole,
03:44a 110.13 just ahead of teammate Parkescape.
03:47That is the fourth time this season
03:48that we've seen both of those cars
03:50on the front row together.
03:51Russell Engel, as Baz mentioned,
03:53his 50th championship start.
03:54He'll start from position three.
03:55Mark Larkham, the best of the Ford pilots.
03:57Then it's Longhurst.
03:58Craig Baird,
03:59his best qualifying event of the year.
04:01Larry Perkins,
04:01Paul Radisic,
04:02languishing in eighth position by his standards.
04:04Glenn Seaton and Stephen Richards.
04:06Time now to go to our track side.
04:07Mark Osler is with Russell Engel.
04:10Well, the Holden Racing team
04:12have certainly proved to be the dominant force
04:13in 2000 in V8 supercars.
04:15But one man who might give them
04:16a real run for their money this weekend
04:18is Russell Engel.
04:19Russell, fantastic qualifying performance.
04:21Very close to those red cars.
04:23And I reckon you might give them
04:24a bit of a run today.
04:25Well, very happy with it.
04:26To only be a tenth away,
04:27remembering that usually with HRT,
04:29the qualifying's their strongest point,
04:31and that's how they win the races,
04:32because they're always on the front row.
04:34We're very happy.
04:35Teams really pulled together
04:36and got their silver beast
04:38back up the front where it belongs.
04:39Must be great to be up that end of the grid.
04:41You've had some terrible performances
04:43so far this year, haven't you?
04:44Yeah, well, Canberra was a shocker for us.
04:46And, I mean, realistically,
04:47to win the races now,
04:48because everything's so close,
04:49you've got to be on the front two rows.
04:51And third place,
04:52we're in a real good spot
04:53and behind Lounsey,
04:54and he's a good starter.
04:55So, yeah, no,
04:56it should be an interesting one.
04:57There's a lot of forwards in the top ten,
04:59but they're not really up
05:00at the pointy end of the grid.
05:01Are you surprised they went faster
05:02in qualifying
05:03or even taking pole position here?
05:05I'm really surprised
05:05because this is a lot of test tracks
05:07for a lot of the forward teams.
05:08When you take DJR,
05:09Stone Brothers,
05:11I expected them, actually,
05:12to be on the front rows.
05:14So, I mean,
05:15if they don't go good here,
05:16I don't know.
05:17But, I mean,
05:18they're close saying that.
05:19Larkham's sort of right on me as well.
05:21So, don't discount them.
05:23They'll be hanging around.
05:24Best of luck today.
05:25Thank you, sir.
05:25This is the Queensland Raceway layout,
05:28and it's a place in the past
05:29that has been a happy hunting ground
05:31for Russell Ingle.
05:32He took victory here
05:33with, of course,
05:33Larry Perkins in the Queensland 500.
05:35Some good places for passing,
05:36and the man to show for you
05:37around the circuit,
05:38Neil Crompton.
05:43Welcome to Queensland Raceway,
05:45the world's simplest racetrack.
05:47Now, if you don't understand what I mean,
05:48go to your cupboard
05:49or go to the drawer,
05:51get out a paper clip
05:52and have a look at the shape of it,
05:53because that's what shape this racetrack is.
05:56It's six turns,
05:57but it always produces
05:58tremendously close racing,
06:00and the crowd here get a great show
06:02because they can see
06:03every millimetre of the racetrack.
06:05We've just negotiated turns one and two.
06:08This is the max straight.
06:09It's developed a few bucks
06:10since we were last here,
06:11and particularly one here
06:12about the 100 bucks,
06:14right when you don't want.
06:16You get up to fifth gear,
06:17then all the way back down
06:18to second for turn three.
06:20It's about 80 k's.
06:22Really hard on the left,
06:23rear tyre here.
06:24You've got to feed the power on gently.
06:27Up here to turn four.
06:29Bit of a bump on the approach.
06:31We're in the infield section.
06:32It's back to third gear.
06:37Turn five.
06:38Bit of an odd shape one as well.
06:40This time it's the right rear
06:41that can step out on you.
06:42Now we're heading up
06:43towards the last turn.
06:44Up to fifth gear.
06:45Hard on the brakes
06:46at about the 100 mark.
06:48Back to second gear.
06:49Bit of a double apex corner here.
06:51First apex.
06:52There's your second.
06:53Jam in 600 horsepower.
06:54Power up to third.
06:56Drift out onto the grass
06:57on the edge.
06:59Third, fourth, then fifth.
07:00And that's a lap.
07:01And if you get it right,
07:02you'll do it at about
07:03one minute and ten seconds.
07:04That's Queensland Raceway.
07:05Canberra was an endurance round
07:10here in Queensland.
07:11We go back to the three
07:12sprint race format.
07:13The first of them coming your way
07:14right after the break.
07:15Stay with us.
07:16Well, good clean start so far
07:38as they swing through two.
07:39Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
07:40Right in the middle there.
07:41Cameron McLean.
07:42There you see.
07:43Well done, Russell Engle.
07:47He takes the opening race
07:48in Queensland.
07:55The contact there between
07:57the Mobile One car
07:58and the Pertec car
07:59sends Scaife spinning
08:00onto the infield.
08:01The problems with the fuel
08:02as well.
08:02Oh, there's been a flame.
08:03There's a flame here.
08:06And if you happen to know,
08:07the eyebrow transplant
08:08was a complete success.
08:09We get set for action here
08:11at Queensland Raceway.
08:12Round seven of the championship.
08:14Great to have you with us
08:15in some of those mighty moments.
08:16Doesn't it just show you

11:34Lowndes got away
11:35smartly
11:35Russell Ingle
11:36a great start as well
11:37he's managed to pull away
11:38from Mark Markham
11:39as they head towards
11:40turn 1 for the first time
11:41who will give
11:41Skate for Lowndes
11:42Skate tries to muscle past
11:43Lowndes
11:44and it looks like
11:44he's got the upper hand
11:45they're going to go
11:46side by side
11:46up towards turn 2
11:47let's see where they are
11:48oh
11:49Karen McLean
11:50yeah
11:50same corner
11:51say we've lost
11:52oh goodness me
11:53he's managed to keep it off
11:54just gave the concrete
11:55a kiss on the other side
11:56but that could have been
11:57much worse
11:57that sand trap
11:58doing its job
11:58but look at this battle
11:59between the whole
12:00racing team
12:00do you know
12:01as they thunder
12:01in the backstreet
12:02for the first time
12:03yeah
12:03Ingle's going to do
12:04everything he can
12:05to try and get past
12:06to split it up
12:07all HIT cars
12:08on the first couple of laps
12:09Mark Skate
12:09I was going to say
12:10Mark Skate gets the jump
12:11on the pole position man
12:13big mover so far
12:14Mark seems to be
12:15Paul Radisic
12:15he's come up
12:16a series of positions
12:17started out at grid
12:18position number 8
12:19we'll check on his
12:19exact spot for you
12:21he's up to 5th position
12:22Paul Radisic
12:22so he has stormed up
12:23there he is there
12:24in behind Mark Larkham
12:25the second of the forwards
12:26so the Rats
12:27on the attack
12:28here in Queensland
12:28I hope he can
12:30maintain it too
12:31the one advantage
12:32the four teams
12:32might have here
12:33is that they test
12:34here all the time
12:34they probably
12:35all have the chance
12:36to do a full
12:36race distance run
12:38whereas the Commodores
12:38particularly the HRT
12:40cars haven't had a chance
12:40to do that
12:41so that could be
12:41critical later in the race
12:42particularly if that
12:43left hand rear tyre
12:44starts to give way
12:45oh look at Steve
12:46Henry's obviously
12:47come together with
12:48somebody
12:48and you can watch
12:50these cars as they
12:50go out in the grass
12:51there one of the
12:52Cummins Valvoline
12:53machines
12:54oh it's all found
12:55coming to
12:57oh
12:58coming to contact
12:59with someone in the
13:00field
13:00boy
13:01this guy is having
13:03a very very difficult
13:05season
13:05look at the damage
13:06to the counterfeiler
13:07forward
13:07and wasn't he lucky
13:09he didn't make
13:09contact a bit later
13:10and hit that tyre wall
13:11head on
13:12oh he certainly was
13:13he's gotten away

18:58have a look
18:58at that
18:58on the replay
18:59I think
18:59he did

19:02paid a heavy
19:04price
19:04dropped a lot
19:05of positions
19:06there
19:06so crompton

19:26from the

19:29else
19:29we're
19:29keeping

19:31Garth
19:32Tander
19:32who started

19:34top 10
19:34has now
19:35moved up
19:35into 7th
19:36position
19:36so that's
19:37a great
19:38drive by
19:38the 23
19:39year old
19:39well he said
19:39he was going
19:39to try
19:40something fairly
19:40radical
19:41on the
19:41warm up
19:41this morning
19:42because he
19:42couldn't get
19:42any speed
19:43out of the
19:43car yesterday
19:43and maybe
19:45that radical
19:45change has
19:46worked
19:46they're probably
19:46heading in
19:46the right
19:47direction

20:37interesting to
20:38see the
20:38latter stages
20:39of this
20:40race
20:40just if they
20:41start pulling
20:41the HRT
20:42cars in
20:43then
20:43because maybe
20:45the HRT
20:47cars using
20:48their tyres
20:49were more
20:50consuming more
20:52of their
20:52rubber
20:53than the
20:53Larkham
20:54and Dingle
20:55behind
20:55because if
20:55you look
20:56now it
20:56looks
20:56speedwise
20:57they're
20:58lapping
20:58quicker
20:58than the
