The new S5000 category was officially launched today, with drivers lapping the car, and a calendar being confirmed.
The car will also be demoed at Newcastle this weekend in the hands of Kiwi Greg Murphy, no newcomer to F5000 from his pre VASC days in NZ.
https://www.speedcafe.com/2018/11/19/s5 ... es-launch/The first completed S5000 single-seater has been officially revealed alongside plans for a six round series on the Shannons Nationals bill for its inaugural season next year.
Series organisers took the covers off the car at an official launch at Sydney Motorsport Park where the bespoke chassis logged its first public laps.
The bespoke Onroak-Ligier chassis powered by a sealed 5.0 litre, 560hp V8 Ford Coyote ‘Aluminator’ engine has been dubbed as Australia’s answer to IndyCar and is set to break lap records across the country.
A host of Supercars identities are expected to witness the car’s first laps today including Ryan Walkinshaw, Brad Jones, and Todd Kelly.
Nissan Motorsport’s Andre Heimgartner and former Supercars full-timer Jason Bright were also present at the launch.
The series is yet to announce entrants for 2019 but has attracted plenty of interest.
Category manager Chris Lambden is hoping the launch will trigger the first confirmed entries, while revealing that talks to feature at Supercars events in the future are ongoing.
“The revealing of the S5000 is truly a landmark day for Australian motorsport,” said Lambden.
“There is now the certainty that teams and drivers have been looking for to enable them to commit and plan for 2019.
“S5000 is going to offer the ‘big-bang’, serious open wheeler racing that Australia hasn’t seen for decades, and there’s no doubt that the car and competition package will excite people.
“Confirmation of the CAMS Australian S5000 Championship schedule for 2019, headlining the Shannons Nationals, is great news all-round.
“It’s the ground base on which the future of S5000 will be built.
“There are discussions also going on with Supercars, among other promotors, with a view to S5000 running at some of their events, which will certainly add some icing to the cake.”

Yep. Even without the halo it would look so... generic.

Compared to the original plan, it looks awful. Yet compared to a lot of other modern day single seaters, it looks fantastic. Perspective and everything.

It looks like a constipated Formula 4.
I am very sorry if you find my posts long and boring, I like to type and often go off on a tangent.

Sounds a bit NASCAR alike.
Not that bad sounding.

Well it was the first time Murphy has sat in the car and the first public run of the car, sure it will improve over the weekend.

You misunderstand me. The onboard shot shows nothing but helmet and halo. Awful positioning.Everso Biggyballies wrote: ↑5 years ago Well it was the first time Murphy has sat in the car and the first public run of the car, sure it will improve over the weekend.
