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: greenflag@formulafrontrow.com 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....

GT. Bathurst 12 Hr. (C) It's our first anniversary since starting formulafrontrow.com and we'd like to thank all our loyal friends and "surfers" for frequenting this site. By now you are no doubt aware that we love our motorsport. Our agenda simply revolves around sharing our exposures with the world with a view to encourage people to attend their own events of choice. We love nothing better than pointing our Nikons at such an exciting, fast moving sport with undertones of danger. The adrenaline rush of an F1 race start, being almost blown off your feet by a Top Fuel Dragstar, witnessing a V8 supercar crash over the kerbs or the deafening roar of a Moto X start. It's a sensory overload that we highly recommend. As the 2013 season commences Down Under and since we're celebrating our first birthday, we thought it would be appropriate to inform you of what events we plan on attending and what categories will be featured in future posts. Unfortunately other commitments meant we couldn't stay for the race itself, but this post contains plenty of shots from the Saturday of the Bathurst 12 Hour featuring GT for you to enjoy. Sydney Motorsport Park hosts the official V8 Supercar Test Day next weekend and The Nationals twice in March and July featuring Radical Australia Cup, Formula 3 and a 6 Hour GT endurance race. We'll also catch Formula 3 headlining the Bathurst Motor Festival this Easter and V8 Supercars at the Sydney 500 in December. Sydney Dragway gets a look in with the Nitro Champs in May and the Australian Nationals in November. Two wheel fans need not be worried as Moto X will also be covered. Next month is of course the big one; The Australian Formula One Grand Prix from Albert Park, Melbourne. Lots to look forward to. Birthdays are also a time of reflection. Therefore, we would welcome your feedback on formulafrontrow.com and what motorsport categories you'd like to see featured or more of, and what improvements could be made. Send us an email at: greenflag@formulafrontrow.com or simply leave a comment. Have you got you ticket sorted for the Aust. F1 GP yet? Better hurry.... |
