TRT Media ReleaseJones, Flack extend their margins via Sandown Carrera Cup victories
HARRI JONES and Adrian Flack have once again emerged the big winners from a Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia round, though it was by no means easy. The pair of championship leaders - Jones in Equity-One Pro and Flack in SP Tools Pro-Am - won the third and final race of round 5 at Sandown and by virtue of that also claimed the round. Jones completed a perfect launch into a comfortable win over Dylan O'Keeffe and Jackson Walls on Sunday, breaking the lap record on his way to career win number 15. He led home that same duo

However, in the same way Supercars can chase its way back to the roots of Touring Car racing in Australia, so can the SpeedSeries to the formative years of what became known to most as, ‘The Shannons’.

Over the past 25 years, Queensland Raceway has amassed an incredible array of stories. From boggy beginnings, political battles with CAMS and ultimately the government, to reinvention through the hands of multiple owners, the six-turn circuit referred to as the Paperclip has a treasure trove of lesser-told yarns. In this sequence of features, we will delve into the circuit's design constraints and many of the hidden elements you would never consider when looking at race circuits.
