2012 FW1 Aussie Racing Cars Super Series
After a phenomenal 2011, FW1 Aussie Racing Cars is proud to announce the 2012 FW1 Aussie Racing Cars Super Series racing calendar.
The FW1 Aussie Racing Cars Series has grown to be one of the biggest categories in Australia and the exhilarating series is continuing to gain international momentum. With FW1 on board supporting the category as Naming Rights Sponsor for the second year, Aussie Racing Cars Category Manager, Brad Ward is confident that the Series’ appeal will continue to grow.
“We are thrilled to announce the most exciting Aussie Racing Cars event calendar ever which will launch at Australia’s largest motor racing festival, the Clipsal 500 Adelaide in March. The 2012 Series will be contested over 6 rounds in conjunction with the V8 Supercars and will include the biggest and best events on the V8 Supercars calendar including the Clipsal 500 Adelaide, Sucrogen Townsville 400 and Gold Coast 600. We’ve worked hard to secure a good mix of events and LIVE television coverage of races for our competitors and fans and we excited to be taking the category to all of Australia’s best race tracks in 2012” said Brad.
FW1 Chief Operating Officer Ty Pedersen stated: “After the prolific 2011 Super Series we knew that FW1 had to sponsor the series again in 2012. The category is continuing to gain popularity in Australia, it provides the perfect platform for young drivers to launch their careers and sponsorship of the category is an excellent way to promote our range of car cleaning products.
“There are six races scheduled for 2012 and these have been carefully selected to give motor enthusiasts across the country the chance to experience the excitement of Aussie Racing Cars first hand,” said Pedersen.
Aussie Racing Cars are expecting capacity grids at every event in 2012, many of the 2011 drivers will be back on the grid including the 2011 champion, Adrian Cottrell and runner up Tyler Owen. Aussie Racing Cars ambassador and Driver Hayley Swanson, who won the 2011 Woman’s Championship in her first year of competition is also set to race an Aussie Racing Car again in 2012.
