2013 Dunlop V8 Supercar Series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dale Wood won the series driving a Ford FG Falcon for MW Motorsport.

The 2013 Dunlop Series was an Australian motor racing competition for V8 Supercars. It was the fourteenth running of a V8 Supercar Development Series, with all rounds held in support of 2013 International V8 Supercars Championship events.

The introduction of the "New Generation V8 Supercar" regulations to the V8 Supercar Championship resulted in a number of rule changes which affected the Dunlop Series. Teams were only allowed to compete with one model of the cars raced in V8 Supercars. All teams competing with Fords upgraded to the FG Falcon, whilst the Holden teams continued to use the VE Commodore. With all V8 Supercar teams building brand-new chassis for the 2013 season to comply with the New Generation V8 Supercar regulations, many of the cars they used in the 2012 Supercars Championship were sold to Dunlop Series teams.

Dale Wood won the 2013 series driving a Ford FG Falcon for MW Motorsport.

Points system

[edit]

Points were awarded to the driver of a car that had completed 75% of the race distance and was running at the completion of the final lap. Two different points scales were applied to rounds having two or three races to ensure that a driver would be awarded 300 points for winning all races at any event.

Points were awarded using the following system:

Position 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th 21st 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th 27th 28th 29th 30th
