• POINTS ON THE BOARD IN ADELAIDE NOVOCASTRIAN Motorsport’s Aaren Russell narrowly missed a Top 10 result in the opening round of the 2014 Dunlop V8 Supercar Series, on the streets of Adelaide as part of the Clipsal 500. In his first weekend aboard the team’s Triple Eight-built FG Falcon, Russell finished both races to sit 13th for the weekend, banking solid points to kick off the seven-round series. After taking ninth and 11th in the two practice sessions, Russell comfortably secured a spot in the Top 50% qualifying group among the competitive, 30-car field, with the new 2014 format seeing the introduction of a separate qualifying session for each race. On Friday, Russell qualified 12th for Race 1, and made ground to sit 10th late in the race. A chaotic Safety Car restart saw him lose several places, but the 22-year-old was able to recover to secure a 10th place finish. Read more 3 years ago
