The 2014-15 season was judged as a massive success for the Brisbane Formula 500 Club, and it included a successful running of the both Queensland Title and the season-long Tyrepower 600 Super Series.

Here’s a look back at the season highlights.

Brown Goes One Better
After running second in last season’s Tyrepower 600 Super Series behind Ryan Skennar, Kristin Brown was able to go one better this season by coming away with the point standings honours. She was a model of consistency throughout the series, which included three round wins, and was a thoroughly deserving winner.

Big Improvers
Brooke Wanless and Scott Farmer were without a shadow of a doubt the biggest improvers of the season. Both drivers were consistent front runners, with Farmer collecting a Tyrepower 600 Super Series round win along with a number of minor podium finishes, while Wanless also managed to figure on the podium in minor positions. In the final Tyrepower 600 Super Series point standings, Wanless and Farmer finished in fourth and fifth place respectively.

Competitor Growth
Another highlight of the season was the growth of competitors. After attracting 12 cars on average every race meeting last season, this season saw an average of 16 competitors at every race meeting. The competitor growth is certainly a positive reflection of the ongoing hard work from the committee of the Brisbane Formula 500 Club.

Sponsor Support
None of what was achieved in the season would have been possible without the support of sponsors: major sponsor Tyrepower, the naming right’s sponsor of the Queensland Title Ian Boettcher Race Parts, KRE Race Engines, Myla Graphics, Dryden Signs, TC Racing & Mechanical Services, Lucky Promotions, and Aussie Trackwear. As they say, support those sponsors who support the sport.

Queensland Title Thriller
To say that the season Queensland Title at Brisbane’s Archerfield Speedway was a thriller would be a rather large understatement. In what was a frantic Queensland Title deciding feature race, defending Queensland Champion Dale Shilleto and this season’s Australian Champion Dylan Willsher had turns at the lead only to both crash out of contention. The driver who was there in the end was Townsville’s Kaydon Iverson after he stayed out of harm’s way and went on to collect the win. Iverson also contested the entire Tyrepower 600 Super Series and came away with a second-place finish behind Kristin Brown in the final point standings.

Presentation Night
The season is to be concluded with the annual presentation night. This season, it is to be held on the Saturday night of June 20 at Brothers St Brendan’s Leagues Club in the Brisbane suburb of Rocklea.
