2014 International V8 Supercars Championship

(Redirected from 2014 V8 Supercars Championship)

The 2014 International V8 Supercars Championship (often simplified to the 2014 V8 Supercars Championship) was an FIA-sanctioned international motor racing series for V8 Supercars. It was the sixteenth running of the V8 Supercars Championship and the eighteenth series in which V8 Supercars have contested the premier Australian touring car title.

Jamie Whincup won his sixth drivers' championship, a series record.
Triple Eight Race Engineering won the teams' championship for the fifth consecutive season.

Volvo entered the championship with a factory team in a collaboration with Garry Rogers Motorsport and its motorsport arm, Polestar Racing. The team raced the Volvo S60 under the Volvo Polestar Racing brand. It was the first time that Volvo has competed in the Australian Touring Car Championship since Robbie Francevic won the title driving a Volvo 240T in 1986.[1][N 1]

Jamie Whincup successfully defended his drivers' championship, securing a record sixth title at Phillip Island, surpassing the previous record of five held by Ian Geoghegan, Dick Johnson and Mark Skaife.[2] His team, Triple Eight Race Engineering, also retained the teams' championship. Whincup and co-driver Paul Dumbrell won the Endurance Cup,[3] taking wins at the Sandown 500 and the Gold Coast 600.

Calendar changes

edit

The series did not return to the Circuit of the Americas in the United States. The championship returned to Sydney Motorsport Park for the Sydney Motorsport Park 400, having last raced at the circuit in 2012. The event used the Gardner Circuit configuration.[60] The addition of the Sydney Motorsport Park event in August saw the Winton 400 move from August to April.[57]

Format changes

edit

There were two formats used for events outside of the Endurance Cup. "Super Street" events were held at the Clipsal 500, Townsville and Sydney 500 events, with a pair of 125-kilometre races held on Saturday and a 250-kilometre race held on Sunday.[61] All other events featured the "Super Sprint" format, with two 100-kilometre races held on Saturday and a single 200-kilometre race held on Sunday, though the Pukekohe event included an additional 100-kilometre race held on Friday.[58] The Sandown 500, Bathurst 1000 and the Gold Coast 600 – races counting towards the Endurance Cup – retained their respective event formats of a single 500-kilometre, 1000-kilometre and two 300-kilometre races. The 60/60 Sprint format, introduced in 2013, was discontinued.[62]

A number of races. including the first race of the Clipsal 500, were held at twilight, coinciding with prime time television broadcasts.[57] The last event held under lights was the opening round of the 1997 season, held at Calder Park Raceway.

Rule changes

edit

2014 saw practice sessions become time-certain, whereby the session finished after a designated amount of time with no allowance for session interruptions, such as red flags. Qualifying sessions run on the same day as each other were allowed a fifteen-minute extension shared between the sessions if required. Additional practice sessions were held at the Winton, Queensland Raceway and Sydney Motorsport Park events.[63]

The 2014 season saw changes to the regulations regarding abandoned starts which require an additional formation lap and for the suspension and resumption of races in the case of a red flag. The procedure used for safety car restarts was also revised. Previously, the lead car controlled the pace until the safety car entered the pit lane at which point the lead car could accelerate. The new rules dictated that the lead car must maintain a speed between fifty and sixty kilometres-per-hour until it reached the "Acceleration Zone" located before the control line – mimicking the restart procedure used for the second half of the 60/60 Sprint format used in 2013 – at which point the driver could accelerate and racing resumed. This was in response to several incidents where the lead car accelerated too early on the safety car restart, most notably at the 2013 Austin 400 where Fabian Coulthard, Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes were penalised for the infringement.[63]

Following the Clipsal 500, where Jason Bright's car had rolled following a safety car restart, the restart procedure was reviewed and changed for the second event of the championship. The Acceleration Zone was lengthened and the lead-up speed was raised to be between sixty and eighty kilometres-per-hour. Drivers were no longer allowed to overtake prior to the control line.[64] The safety car restart procedure was eventually changed back to the 2013 system, with Todd Kelly stating that the 2014 procedure had been difficult to manage for the drivers.[65]

Cars were required to take on a specified amount of fuel in the Sunday race at all events bar the Endurance Cup events.[63]

Craig Lowndes left the first event of the championship leading the points standings ahead of Fabian Coulthard and Shane van Gisbergen.[66] Lowndes' teammate Jamie Whincup won the first race of the weekend ahead of Lowndes and van Gisbergen.[67] Lowndes then won the second race ahead of Scott McLaughlin—in a strong début for the Volvo S60—and Whincup. James Courtney lost the passenger-side front door of his car after contact with Lee Holdsworth.[68] Courtney recovered to take the win in the third race ahead of Lowndes and van Gisbergen. The third race saw a number of incidents occur. Will Davison made heavy contact with the wall at turn eight after a touch from James Moffat, sustaining significant damage to his car. After the safety car period to recover Davison's car, Jason Bright rolled at the Senna Chicane following contact with Garth Tander and Tim Slade with Holdsworth, Scott Pye and Chaz Mostert also suffering significant damage. Nick Percat also crashed at turn eight while running third in the closing stages. Controversial penalties were awarded to van Gisbergen and Rick Kelly, who were alleged to be travelling too quickly at the first safety car restart, and to Whincup, whose car controller was deemed to have worked on the car during his second pit stop. Whincup made contact with Michael Caruso while making his way back through the field, forcing both cars to pit for a lengthy period.[66]

Triple Eight Race Engineering dominated the second event of the championship. Jamie Whincup took pole position and Craig Lowndes qualified in second for all three races,[69] though Lowndes was disqualified from the second qualifying session due to a technical infringement.[70] Whincup won the first race, after a controversial incident with Lowndes while the pair battled for the lead, ahead of James Courtney and Mark Winterbottom. Todd and Rick Kelly both failed to finish after suspension and brake failures respectively.[71] Whincup also won the second race, ahead of Winterbottom and Fabian Coulthard, while Lowndes made his way from the back of the grid to fifth place.[72] Lowndes recovered to take a strong win in the third race, with Whincup finishing second and Courtney third.

edit
Main article: 2014 Winton 400

The Winton 400 saw three different drivers and manufacturers win each of the three races. Fabian Coulthard scored pole for both of the Saturday races and went on to win the first race ahead of Shane van Gisbergen and Dale Wood, who achieved his first podium finish in the series.[74][75] Russell Ingall, after fitting new tyres during a safety car period, received a drive-through penalty while on course for a podium finish, leading to him labelling the race stewards as "peanuts" in a post-race interview.[76] Lee Holdsworth gave Erebus Motorsport and Mercedes-Benz their first victories in the series by winning the second race ahead of Mark Winterbottom and Coulthard.[77] Scott McLaughlin took his maiden pole position in qualifying for the Sunday race but he was one of five drivers to be given a drive-through penalty for speeding in the pit lane. Winterbottom took his and Ford's first win of the year in front of James Courtney and Tim Slade. Craig Lowndes held on to the championship lead despite a troublesome weekend, with Winterbottom moving up to second, 28 points off the lead.[78]

ITM 500 Auckland

edit
Main article: 2014 ITM 500 Auckland

Mark Winterbottom won the Jason Richards Memorial Trophy after dominating the weekend in New Zealand.[79] The 2013 Jason Richards Memorial Trophy winner, Jason Bright, started the event strongly by taking pole for the first race and going on to win after early leader Jamie Whincup had steering problems. Shane van Gisbergen and Craig Lowndes completed the podium, while David Wall was put out for the rest of the weekend after contact with Chaz Mostert at the final corner caused his car to make heavy contact with the wall.[80] Winterbottom won the first of the Saturday races ahead of polesitter James Courtney and Mostert.[81] Van Gisbergen won the second Saturday race, holding off a late charge from Winterbottom, with Scott McLaughlin in third after starting from pole.[82] McLaughlin again took pole for the Sunday race but was beaten by Winterbottom in the race, with Mostert finishing third for the second time during the weekend. Tim Slade had qualified on the front row, but his car had a clutch problem on the formation lap, causing an aborted start and forcing him to start from the pit lane. With Lowndes struggling during the weekend, Winterbottom left the event with a 107-point lead in the championship.[79]

Perth 400

edit
Main article: 2014 Perth 400

Scott McLaughlin won the first race of the Perth 400, giving Volvo its first win in the series since 1986. Fabian Coulthard and Chaz Mostert completed the podium.[83] Triple Eight Race Engineering returned to form after a run of poor results, with Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup finishing first and third respectively in the second race, split by championship leader Mark Winterbottom.[84] Mostert took his first victory for Ford Performance Racing by winning the third race ahead of Lowndes and Winterbottom.[85] All cars run by the Holden Racing Team and Erebus Motorsport suffered punctures, forcing their drivers down the order.[86] Lowndes trimmed Winterbottom's championship lead to 101 points, while Whincup moved past James Courtney for fourth.[85]

Main article: 2014 Skycity Triple Crown

Triple Eight Race Engineering dominated the first two races of the Skycity Triple Crown, with Jamie Whincup taking pole position for both races and leading home Craig Lowndes in each. Shane van Gisbergen and Fabian Coulthard completed the podium in each race.[87][88] Lowndes took pole for the third race, which saw a variety of strategies used by the teams.[89] After using an alternate strategy and starting on hard tyres, as opposed to soft tyres used by most of the frontrunners, Lowndes and Whincup attempted to move forwards in the middle section of the race. Lowndes made contact with the rear of Chaz Mostert's car, puncturing his tyre and dropping him down the order. Mark Winterbottom led in the closing stages, having run soft tyres for the entire race, with Whincup and van Gisbergen behind on fresher soft tyres. Whincup let van Gisbergen through to try to catch Winterbottom but he was not able to do so and Winterbottom held on for the win. With Lowndes finishing seventeenth, Winterbottom extended his championship lead to 161 points.[90]

Castrol Townsville 500

edit
Main article: 2014 Castrol Townsville 500

The seventh event in Townsville saw Craig Lowndes lose ground in the championship race. On the opening lap of race one, Lowndes made contact with both Garth Tander and James Courtney before being spun into the wall by Will Davison, failing to finish a race for the first time since 2012. Lowndes and Davison both received points penalties for their roles in each incident, while Todd Kelly also received a points penalty for an incident with Jack Perkins.[91] Lowndes' teammate Jamie Whincup capitalised to win the race ahead of a recovering Tander and Davison.[92] Tander went on to win the second race with Courtney in second place, while polesitter Fabian Coulthard finished third.[93] Lowndes had more problems on Sunday, with a grid penalty dropping him from first to third on the grid, gifting pole to Jason Bright,[94] before an overheating engine dropped him to twenty-third position. Whincup won again, with Tander in second and Shane van Gisbergen in third. Championship leader Mark Winterbottom qualified poorly during the weekend, but managed to finish in the top ten in two of the races to maintain his series lead, with Whincup moving up to second, 96 points behind, and Lowndes dropping to sixth behind Coulthard, van Gisbergen and Courtney.[95]

Craig Lowndes received a drive-through penalty for spinning Mark Winterbottom in the closing stages, with the two cars finishing tenth and sixth respectively. David Reynolds and Dean Canto had an alternator failure while running second.[108] The Holden Racing Team had a difficult weekend, with the car of Garth Tander and Warren Luff being withdrawn from the event after a major crash in Saturday practice,[110] while James Courtney and Greg Murphy suffered electrical problems throughout the race.[108] The race was the longest in history at seven hours and fifty-eight minutes, including a one-hour red flag period in the middle of the race to enable track repairs to be carried out.[108][111] Despite finishing fifth, Whincup extended his championship lead with Winterbottom overtaking Lowndes for second place.[108]

The final round of the championship was affected by storms in and around Sydney, with heavy rain causing two of the three races to be stopped just after half distance. Former series champion Marcos Ambrose returned to the series as a wildcard entry, having last competed in 2005. Ambrose and Craig Lowndes crashed in the first qualifying session. The resulting red flag gave Erebus Motorsport its first pole position, with Will Davison going quickest ahead of Jamie Whincup.[118] Whincup won the first race in dry conditions ahead of Tim Slade and David Reynolds.[119] Despite starting fourth in the second race, Whincup took the lead at the first corner from polesitter Jason Bright. The race was red-flagged after 19 of the 37 laps due to heavy rain before being restarted under safety car conditions to allow the field to complete enough laps for full championship points to be awarded. Shane van Gisbergen and Scott McLaughlin rounded out the podium with Bright in fourth.[120] McLaughlin took his tenth pole position of the season for the Sunday race but could only manage to finish eighth.[121] Conditions similar to those in the second race caused another red flag after 44 of the 74 laps. The race was eventually abandoned and van Gisbergen was declared the winner ahead of Garth Tander and James Courtney. The result saw van Gisbergen take second in the championship ahead of Mark Winterbottom and Lowndes.[122]
