Snappers - Fire Up Those Cameras. 2014 Is Here.

2013 Bathurst 12 Hour. (C)

    2014 has arrived and a new season of motorsport has dawned. The batteries are charged and the Nikons clean, so we thought we'd give a plug to some of our favourite upcoming events. 
    The season kicks off February 7-9th at the mighty Mt Panorama circuit in Bathurst for the Bathurst 12 Hour GT Race. Exotic marques like McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, Audi, Lamborghini, Porsche, all compete in a field of 44 cars over 6 classes with teams from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, China, Japan, UK and a big German contingent making this a true international event. Not to mention Radical Australia Cup is making it's Bathurst debut on the support card.
    February 15th sees V8 Supercars descend on Sydney Motorsport Park for the Official Launch and Test Day. Free to all punters and a great family picnic day out in a more relaxed atmosphere.
    March 13-16th is the big one; the Australian Formula One Grand Prix at Albert Park, Melbourne. New generation F1's first raced in Oz....yeah!
    April 13th sees the best Moto X riders in the land compete at the MX Nationals at Macarthur District Motorcycle Complex at Appin. 
    The Easter weekend of April 18-20th means a return to Mt Panorama for the Bathurst Motor Festival featuring Australia's fastest race cars, Formula 3.
    Sydney Dragway hosts the Nitro Champs on May 2-4th featuring all the ANDRA classes including Top Fuel and Top Doorslammer.
    Trundling down the NSW south coast to Nowra on June 22nd and later to Wollongong on August 17th to catch the East Coast MX Series is well worth the time as this Moto X series is on the rise.
    Shannons Nationals attack Sydney Motorsport Park over two different events. July 11-13th features Radical Aust. Cup, the new Aust. Sports Racer Series and the Aust. Manufacturers 4 Hour. The season ending meet on 1st-2nd November features V8 Touring Cars, Kerrick Sports Sedans, Radicals and Formula 3.
    Sydney Motorsport Park also hosts a V8 Supercar championship round on August 22-24th for the SMP 400, with Porsche Carrera Cup as part of the supports.
    As per usual, SMP will also host the very popular Muscle Car Masters over the Father's Day weekend of 6-7th September. Big banger metal heaven.
    V8 Supercars will once again wind the season up with the Sydney 500 at the narrow, concrete lined Sydney Olympic Park on December 5-7th.
    So, as formulafrontrow.com is about to celebrate its 2nd birthday, these are the events we are planning on attending for starters in 2014. We urge you to grab your camera and head out to one. But hey, if you can't make it, we hope you enjoy the images we post. Drop us a line at: [email protected] or leave us a comment. Let us know what events you plan on attending, or what other events we'd be interested in attending.
    See you at the Bathurst 12 Hour. Cheers....
