The 2012 Formula One season is fast approaching and the Advanti Racing sponsored Scuderia Toro Rosso team has a new car and new driver line-up. The new drivers are Aussie Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne from France. The new STR car was launched yesterday at the Sapnish circuit. The all new STR7 features many new technological innovations including an extremely flat nose section designed to get as much air as possible under the nose to increase the downforce potential of the floor and diffuser. Wheeldemon will be avidly following the progress of STR and of course our newest Aussie F1 driver. Go Daniel!

Visit the official Scuderia Toro Rosso team website here. 

The wheeldemon website will be down for scheduled server maintenance Tuesday 31st January from 2pm - 3pm EST. This will mean no access to the stock control panel or other member functionality during that time. Apologies in advance for any inconvenience.

To make things a bit easier we've moved all of the previous generation wheels not in the current brochure in to a single category called "Previous Ranges". This replaces the previous listings "Wheels from 2008-9" and "Wheels from 2010". Inclusion in Previous Ranges means that the wheel is available for purchase although quantity, size, and fitment options may be limited. The Previous Ranges can be found here.

News of the two wheel variety to kick off 2012 with wheeldemon sponsored rider Josh Mitchell. Josh is currently riding 5th in the state series for U19. The image was taken at the Thredbo event.

Wheeldemon wishes all of our members a very merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year!

Ryan Simpson has continued his success on debut today in the Australian Swift Racing Series with a third race win in the final event of the season for Australia’s newest one make category, with the finishing positions also determining Allan Jarvis to be the Series Champion. Simpson again displayed a clean set of heals in a display that mirrored his efforts in race 2, the Parramatta driver drove away from the field to secure the lead and the round in a convincing display. The battle was still fought out behind him however between a freight train of cars, lead by a mix of drivers across the course of the 10 lap race. Adam Brand again displayed some true driving talent, eventually claiming 3rd in the final ahead of a hard charging Brooke Leech followed by Rob Jarvis and Brendon Cook. Unfortunately for Brand, the Swift Series resident celebrity, a round podium was missed by just one point. Simpson took a clean sweep and the round ahead of Allan and Rob Jarvis in 2nd and 3rd respectively. The result also made official that Allan Jarvis in the Achilles Radial Swift claimed the inaugural Australian Swift Racing Series Championship, and this in addition to a win Class E for the Eastern Creek 6 Hour Production Car Race made for a superb double to end the season not only for Jarvis but to cap off a successful opening season for the category. The Australian Swift Racing Series calendar for 2012 will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Dealers using the wheeldemon stock control panel will probably have noticed that currently all pricing is showing at 'List' price. This is due to a technical issue that we anticipate will be resolved by Wednesday at the latest. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
