Open Wheel Racing - Motorsports in Australia.

Motorsport is a popular spectator sport in Australia, although there are relatively few competitors compared to other sports due to the high costs of competing.

The oldest motorsport competition in Australia is the Alpine Rally which was first staged in 1921 followed by the Australian Grand Prix, first staged in 1928.

The most widely watched motorsport category is Supercars, especially at the Bathurst 1000. Other classes in Australia include Australian GT, Formula 3 and Formula Ford (open wheel racing), Superbikes, as well as various forms (cars and bikes) of speedway racing.

Australia hosts a round of many major international series, including the Australian Grand Prix, a round of the FIA Formula One World Championship, Rally Australia, part of the FIA World Rally Championship, and the MotoGP Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix.

Other international series, such as the World Superbike Championship, Speedway Grand Prix and Champ Car have held events in Australia.

Open Wheel Racing.

Formula One

The most popular event is the Australian Grand Prix, currently held at Albert Park in Melbourne. It is attended by more than 300,000 spectators per year and attracts free-to-air metropolitan television ratings, of over 1 million viewers, and is televised internationally as part of the Formula One World Championship.

The Australian Grand Prix has been run continuously (with the exception of 1936 and 1940–46 due to World War II) since 1928, though it did not become a round of the Formula One World Championship until 1985. For the first 11 years of F1, the Australian Grand Prix was held on the Adelaide Street Circuit in Adelaide, South Australia, as the last round of the championship. Adelaide played host to several title deciders; for example, the 1986 title, where Alain Prost successfully defended his championship after Nigel Mansell's left rear tyre exploded;

The 1994 title was also decided in controversial circumstances, after Michael Schumacher collided with his rival Damon Hill, putting both out of the race and giving Schumacher his first of seven Formula One World Drivers' Championships by one point.

In 1993 it was announced that from 1996 the Grand Prix would move to Melbourne at the Albert Park Circuit, replacing Adelaide as the host city. The move to Melbourne also changed the race's position in the calendar, with the Grand Prix becoming the opening round of the championship, a position it continues to hold.

No Australian driver has won the Australian Grand Prix since Alan Jones won at Calder in 1980 driving his Williams FW07B-Ford, and no Australian has finished on the podium since John Smith finished second in 1983.

Since becoming a round of the World Championship in 1985 only 4 Australian drivers have actually raced in the Australian Grand Prix. They are Alan Jones (1985–1986), David Brabham (1990, 1994), Mark Webber (2002–2013) and Daniel Ricciardo (2012–).

Two Australians have won the World Driver's Championship: Jack Brabham, who won the title on three occasions, including becoming the first (and so far only) driver to win the World Championship in a car of his own design, manufacture and name when he won his final championship in 1966 driving the Repco V8 powered Brabham BT19 and BT20 and Alan Jones, who won in 1980, giving Williams its first Drivers' and Constructors championships.

As of 2019, Daniel Ricciardo (Renault F1 Team) is the only Australian driver in Formula One. Of the 13 Australians who have driven in Formula One, only Brabham (14), Jones (12), Webber (9) and Ricciardo (7) have won a Formula One Grand Prix.

Formula Three

Australian Formula 3 has been the name applied to two distinctly different motor racing categories, separated by over twenty years. The original Australian Formula 3 was introduced in 1964 based on the FIA Formula 3 of the period and intended as a cost-efficient open wheel category to run at state level for amateur racers. It was discontinued at the end of 1977.

Formula 3 was reintroduced to Australia in 1999, again based on FIA Formula 3. An Australian Formula 3 Championship was sanctioned by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport for the first time in 2001. Following the withdrawal of national championship status, an Australian Formula 3 Premier Series was contested in 2016.

Formula Four

The Australian Formula 4 Championship is an Australian motor racing series for open-wheel cars complying with FIA Formula 4 regulations.

The inaugural championship was contested in 2015. Formula 4 has been developed and certified by the FIA as the pre-eminent open-wheel development category across the globe.

The critical step between elite junior karting, Formula 3 and ultimately Formula 1. Cameron McConville is the Category Director, with Karl Reindler as Driver Coach and Driving Standards Observer for the championship.

Formula Ford

The Australian Formula Ford Series is an Australian motor racing competition for drivers of Formula Ford racing cars, held annually since 1970. From 1970 until 1992, and again from 2014, it has been a national series. From 1993 until 2013, the series was CAMS sanctioned and called the Australian Formula Ford Championship.

How to start bike racing (in Sydney and Australia)

Perhaps you’ve watched pro cycling for years. You’ve spent many a late night watching Le Tour on SBS. You’re inspired by the pros; how they dance up mountains and rocket down descents, how they battle through rain and snow and scorching sun. You love the tactics; how domestiques sacrifice themselves, breakaways struggle for survival, and the strongest launch their decisive attacks. You’re enamoured by the beauty, the glory, the sheer drama of bike racing.

And you’ve thought to yourself, “I want to do that!”

If you want to try racing for the first time, you’ve come to the right place. This is a beginner’s guide on how to enter your first road bicycle race. While the principles apply all across Australia, this guide will refer to examples from the Sydney cycling scene.

Just follow these 5 simple steps to start bike racing:

Learn to ride in a group

Buy a race licence

Choose a race

Pack the essentials

Show up and race!

Before we think about racing, let’s get our priorities thing straight: safety comes first. Forget bumping elbows, bunnyhopping curbs and diving for gaps in the bunch. At a local club race, everybody’s number one goal is not to win; it’s to go home to their families with their bones (and earning capacity) fully intact.

Bike racing involves high-speed, handlebar-to-handlebar action, so before you enter your first race, you must be comfortable with fast bunch riding. To get comfortable, you should practise riding in a group. Grab some more experienced cycling friends, and ride with them. If you don’t have any cycling buddies to ride with, ask your local cycling club about beginner-friendly group rides.

You should be able to do the following before entering your first race:

Hold your line – you can confidently ride in a straight line without weaving back and forth, potentially colliding with riders behind and beside you;

Draft – you can comfortably ride behind another cyclist, ideally with no more than one wheel-length separating your front wheel from their back wheel; and

Look ahead – you can comfortably ride in a group with your head up, scanning for hazards up the road.

It may take you several rides before you get the hang of it. Take your time to master these fundamental skills before taking them into a race situation.

Once you’re comfortable with riding in a bunch, you’re ready to sign up for your first race.

In order to race, you must hold a racing licence from Cycling Australia.

You can sign up for a full annual race licence at the Cycling Australia website. If you’re not already a member of a cycling club, you should join one when purchasing your licence. The cost of a licence depends on your age category. The “Elite” category, for adults aged 19 to 29 years inclusive, costs $330. Prices start going down once you hit “Masters” category at age 30. Prices are also lower for juniors.

However, if you’re just dipping your toes into racing, there are cheaper options. This allows you to enter an unlimited number of club races in a seven-day period for $38. That’s a far more reasonable price for a beginner. If, after your first few races, you decide to continue with bike racing (and hopefully you will!), you can step up to the full licence.

As of January 2019, there’s also a ‘Race Starter Kit‘, which gives you two months of unlimited club racing for $50, provided you’ve never held a race licence before.

Please note that a Race Starter Kit and one-week licence only allow you to enter local club events. In order to enter the NSW State Championships or other “open” category events, you’ll need a full licence. However, if you’re new to racing, your first few races should be smaller local races anyway, where you can safely learn bunch racing skills and pick up valuable experience.

Once armed with your licence, it’s time to enter your first race.

In a metropolitan area like Sydney, races are held on most weekends and some weeknights. For a list of upcoming races in Sydney, albeit an incomplete one, browse cabici.net or the Mega Watt Machine Racing Calendar. Outside Sydney, check your local cycling club’s website or Facebook page for information about upcoming races.

What sort of race should you be signing up for? It’s recommended that you start with a shorter race. Look for a road race no longer than 30 kilometres or a criterium no longer than fifty minutes. It’d be foolish to enter a 200-kilometre epic like the Grafton to Inverell as your first event.

While shorter races can be quicker and more intense, they are better for beginners because they are logistically simpler. In your first race, you have enough to think about without worrying about food, hydration, and how to get back to your car after you left it five townships away at the start line.

In Sydney, there are many great options for your first race. Here are just a few suggestions:

Heffron Park, Maroubra: run year-round on Saturday afternoons by Randwick Botany CC, this is raced on a classic criterium circuit with a relaxed, family-friendly vibe. The flat course has some tight turns and the pavement surface is uneven, but it’s completely off-road so there’s no traffic to worry about. Also, should anything go wrong, you’re never more than a few hundred metres from the clubhouse. If Saturday afternoon doesn’t suit your schedule, other clubs host races at Heffron on other days of the week.

Sydney Motorsport Park, Eastern Creek: North West Sydney CC runs races here on Saturday mornings a few times a year. The full motorsport circuit is ideal for beginners as it’s traffic-free, very wide and very smooth.

West Head, Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park: run monthly on Sunday mornings by Manly Warringah CC. It’s a hilly road race, in contrast to the flatter criterium circuits in the rest of this list. If you’re nervous about cornering, this course will suit you as it’s mostly straight. There are only two turns, those being at each end of the 24km circuit. Strongly recommended if you enjoy a bit of a climbing.

Waratah Park, Sutherland: run by Sutherland Shire CC on Friday evenings (summer) and Saturday mornings (winter), this is a safe, fun criterium course suitable for beginners who live down south in the Shire. Races tend to be relatively short in the lower grades (25min + 2 laps for D Grade), making Waratah Park a good tester for your first race.

Once you’ve selected a race, find out the entry requirements. Most let you register on the day, at the start line, about 30 minutes before the race start.. Some clubs request that you register online prior to race day. In either case, the entry fee is usually $15-$20.

You’ll be asked to pick a grade to race in. Unless you’re exceptionally strong (ask your riding buddies for their opinion), for your first race you should select the lowest available grade – usually D-Grade. If you somehow find yourself too quick for D-Grade, enjoy that winning feeling while you can, because you can be sure they’ll bump you up next time.

Once you’ve picked your event, get excited! You’re about to ride your first-ever bike race!

The night before your first race, make sure you have everything you need.

Strictly speaking, you don’t need much for a race. Here are the bare essentials:

Cycling Australia licence – you’ll need to show this at sign-in.

Cash – for the entry fee, if you haven’t prepaid online.

Road bicycle – goes without saying. Make sure the tyres are pumped and the gears and brakes are in working condition.

Helmet – must have the Australian Standard certification sticker.

Shoes – clipless shoes are best, but technically not required.

Jersey – wear your club kit if you have one; otherwise, wear a plain black or white jersey.

Shorts – again, club kit is preferable.

Socks – your choice of length and colour.

Technically, you don’t need anything else to race. However, it’s recommended that you bring one drink bottle. In a one-hour race, you won’t need more than one bottle and you won’t need any food or gels, except perhaps in the height of summer. You should also consider wearing cycling gloves. While not required, they will help protect your hands in the event of a crash.

You’ll also need to bring whatever you need to get to and from the race. If you’re driving, that’d be your car keys. If you’re riding to the start line, you might need a second drink bottle, food, spare tubes, lights and a mini-pump.

Once you’re all packed, all that’s left to do is to get a good night’s sleep and show up to your first bike race!

To avoid unnecessary stress before your first race, you should aim to arrive at the venue about an hour early.

Head to the sign-on desk, where you’ll collect your race number, pay the entry fee (if you haven’t already done so), present your race licence and sign the sign-on sheet.

Next, pin your race number to the back of your jersey. The race organisers will provide safety pins. If you don’t have a friend to help with this, take your jersey off, lay it on the ground and pin the number neatly to your jersey’s back pockets. For a secure fit, make sure each pin goes through the fabric twice.

Strip your bike of any saddlebags, lights, bells and other accessories. They’ll only weigh you down. Leave these extra bits in your car or in a safe place near the sign-on desk.

Speaking of things that weigh you down, if you need to use the toilet, do it now.

Do a 15- to 30-minute warm-up to get your legs spinning and your heart pumping. If you’re allowed on the course, ride a lap or two of the circuit to get to know the terrain and the conditions. At the very least, try to ride the last few kilometres before the finish line so you’ll know what to expect at the end.

Once you’re warmed up, make your way to the start line 5 minutes before the start time. This is when the commissaire will give a race briefing, telling you important information like how many laps you’re riding, any hazards to watch out for, and how many placegetters will be awarded prize money.

And with that, the commissaire will count you down and send you off on your very first bicycle race. Stay safe, learn lots, and enjoy the experience!

So play the sport focused with all the techniques to win the game with colourup uniforms.

8 ways to become a Pro Racer

Motorsport is a popular spectator sport in Australia, although there are relatively few competitors compared to other sports due to the high costs of competing.

Here are 8 things you need to remember to become a racer.

Have personal business cards at the ready at all times! Motorsport is a very small world. Make sure everyone knows what your ambitions and achievements are. You never know who you might meet.

Practice interviews, be proactive on social media, and grow a fan base. Build your brand around everything in the sport, to be as attractive as possible to those… yup, you guessed it, sponsors. Jason Plato is a sponsor’s dream and a fine example of a racing personality who has made racing in the UK his living for the past 17 years.

Hundreds of drivers are winning races in championships across the UK and the world. So how are you going to stand out from the crowd? Get inspired by finding out about motorsport marketing over the history of the sport.

Karting does teach you race craft, useful driving skills, and is the ideal start to your motorsport career. However, once you get into the world of cars, no one’s heard of you. Get into cars ASAP and start making a name for yourself in UK motorsport. Ideal championships are the Ginetta Junior Series, Junior Touring Car Championship and Junior Rallycross.

Instructing has multiple benefits to a racer’s career. It helps you earn money early on, it keeps you in the motorsport network (ideal for creating those all-important contacts), and it ensures that you spend as long in a car as possible; this means you’ll know a variety of circuits inside and out, which helps you develop as a driver.

Learning how to teach others to drive also helps better your own understanding of driving technique. And hey, getting paid to hoon around a circuit with an inexperienced driver at high speeds is quite an adrenaline rush!

Always be ready for the next stage in your career. Make or break opportunities can come at a drop of a hat with very little preparation time. Train yourself mentally, physically and virtually to make the most of each opportunity when it comes.

To get the cash you need to realise that motorsport is a business. Exploiting all there is from the marketing side of it will help you raise your profile and become more attractive to sponsors.

“Winning is everything. The only ones who remember you when you come second are your wife and your dog.” - Damon Hill.

Even if you’ve had the best race of your life, there is no substitute for crossing the line first! Serious momentum builds behind you when it happens and everything seems to happen that bit easier (note the emphasis on easier, not easy). This counts for everything that you drive, whether it’s GP2 or an MX-5.

So play the sport focused with all the techniques to win the game with colourup uniforms.
