Welcome to Wakefield Park for the fifth running of the Wakefield 300. The Wakefield 300 has

taken a few different formats over the past years but for the last three years the popularity has

risen around the 300km 137 lap race.

The Race is open for any sedan type race car and this year will a number of different makes and

models of cars compete in the event. Over 60 drives will line up to see who will be the master of

speed and consistency around Wakefield Park.

Steve Aaron Memorial for Superkarts. These two events are a highlight of the calendar and we

look forward to some exciting racing in both categories.

A Brief History of Wakefield Park

The Wakefield Park circuit was built by Paul Samuels and John Carter and was opened officially by John Fahey, the then NSW Premier and member for the Goulburn district in November 1994.

It was built with club motor sport firmly in mind and with the control tower and paddock facilities and carports it made some of our existing circuits look a bit out dated. Track days and supersprints were the usual events with race days for cars, motor bikes and go karts also becoming popular at

the circuit.

At 2.2 kilometres, with an reasonable length straight leading to a section of uphill bends with the loop at the top of the hill and then a downhill run into what became known as the fish hook section and a negatively banked last turn onto the main straight the circuit offered quite a challenge to

achieve a quick lap.

In 2000 the circuit changed hands for the first time with Rob Hodgkinson and Paul Phillips taking over. Soon after the change over the circuit was re-profiled with changes to the fish hook area and the final turn onto the main straight. Both of these changes improved the flow of the circuit, the

fish hook area in particular allowing for a faster run onto the back straight.

Under the new ownership the Wakefield Park licensing and permit system was introduced. This gave clubs a cheaper alternative to CAMS for the running of events and members could also pur-chase a Wakefield licence with which they could compete in events that they may not normally be able to on a level 2 licence. Now the circuit uses the AASA insurance and permit system that which is now being used by a large proportion of motor sport promoters and clubs for events around the

country.

The Speed off the street days that allowed people to drive their own cars on the circuit under the Wakefield licence system, encouraging speed at the right venue and not on public roads were also

introduced and continue today.

From 2001 to 2008 the circuit held a round of the V8 development series, this for many years being the only stand alone round for those cars. The pit lane garages were added at this time, once again

improving the circuit’s facilities.

In January 2007 the circuit was bought by the Benalla Auto Club, the owners of the Winton circuit in country Victoria. At the end of 2008 a major re-surfacing of the circuit took place and this again has led to better lap times. 2010 has seen the introduction of a lighting system at all flag points that will warn drivers of incidents on the circuit and be operated from race control. With the com-plex now managed by Mathew Ronke and ongoing improvements happening the circuit is still a great

club sport venue.

With a great cafe and complete circuit viewing from the specta-

tor areas enjoy today’s racing.

The current lap record for the circuit is held by Ben Chrighton driving an F3 open wheeler and stands at 54.563 seconds, a fairly

quick time.

Wakefield Park, just another

great part of the Goulburn area.

The Hopwood 100 is in the memory of Peter Hop-

wood. Peter was a courageous race car driver a keen

sailor and a professional cinematographer.

Peter contributed many years to HQ racing and after

his passing a stunning trophy was commissioned that

is hotly sought after in the HQ ranks.

Peter Green Jnr has won the past two years and is

looking to become the first to win three in a row. In

2008 The Green’s swept the podium with Peter Green

Jnr beating home Clinton Green and their Father Pe-

ter Green Snr.

2010 has over 20 HQ Holden’s lining up for a shot at

the 100km endurance.

For the first time the event will also have a top 10

shootout.

Steve Anslow will be joined for this year’s Wakefield 300 by Shane Otten

in the AutoWerks Automotive 6 litre Mazda RX-7, now running vastly

improved SPAX Suspension Concepts and the fantastic Kumho slicks

for the first time.

The team chose Kumho after strong recommendations from 2011 Winton

300 Co-driver Hayden Pullen who experienced them at Nurburgring and

Spa last year on the V8 Supercar and rates the Kumho slicks the abso-

lute best for lap times AND durability.

Steve said:

“Shane is an excellent driver and likable guy who knows what it takes to win this race. He brings some great experience to the

team having won the wet race in 2010 and finished 2nd to myself and Ric Shaw last year. He has not even driven the car yet but I

am sure he will love it! It’s even nicer to drive now that Greg Nolan and his Spax Suspension Concepts are helping to dial in the

set up”

This year will also see the return of Dave Gerard to motor racing as Team Manager along with his son Dean Gerard who will pro-

vide driver assistance and general help. The awesome RAAF guys Cameron Chircop and Ben Westcott will be back in last

year’s roles joined this year by Rod Frizzell (who was on overseas deployment for last year’s race). Westy and Frizz are really

happy about the new race dates as they are off to Afghanistan in April. These three RAAF boys are a credit to our armed forces

and possess great skills. Last year they really showed the true ANZAC sprit when needed.

Another FANTASTIC addition this year is an old mate, Mark Tull from Website Essentials– Australia’s Leading Google adwords

provider – who will be assisting generally with the team and running amok around the pits.
