Cameron McConville Biography

Cameron McConville is one of the most popular and richest Racing Driver who was born on January 22, 1974 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Cameron McConville, also known as Cam, is an Australian motorsport star and racing driver. He was born 22 January 1974. McConville, who is now retired from full-time competition, still races and is a sought- after endurance event co-driver. McConville was a professional driver for 14 years, with ten of them in the Supercars Championship, Australia’s largest domestic category. McConville has written for many magazines and presented many television programs. He was also the colour commentator for Network Ten’s Australian coverage of Formula One up to the end of 2009. McConville announced that he would be retiring from full-time racing at the end of 2009. Rumours also suggest that he is The Stig in Top Gear Australia.

After many years of driving for smaller teams, his perseverance finally paid off when he teamed with Tom Warwick to drive a Porsche 993 RSCS during the 1996 Australian GTP championship. He beat Jim Richards to win the series’ final race. He was selected to replace Greg Murphy in 1997 as the Audi Australia works’ driver, largely because of his success in the Australian Super Touring Championship. He was narrowly defeated by Brad Jones, team owner, to the title in 1998.

In 2007, Cameron began a new motorsport reporting role with Channel Ten, including co-hosting the Formula One coverage.

In 2008, he joined up with his former boss Brad Jones to drive the number 14 Commodore after the team made the switch from Ford to Holden with the support of Walkinshaw Performance in the pursuit of better results. WOW Sight and Sound soon signed on as McConville’s major sponsor for the 2008 championship. McConville immediately highlighted the new relationship with an excellent third at the Adelaide 500. After two mixed seasons McConville announced his decision to step down from full-time racing at the end of the season, the announcement came soon after a nasty crash at the Phillip Island 500K. During the off-season it was also announced that McConville would not be returning to his on-screen role with Channel 10 and McConville set up a business franchise in tyre retailing. A change in V8 Supercar endurance race regulations made McConville hot property as a co-driver in 2010 and he was quickly announced as a co-driver for the Holden Racing Team.

He performed well at Bathurst practice, and was invited back to DJR for 1993 Tooheys 1000. There he partnered with Paul Radisich in the Shell team’s second Ford EB Falcon V8. McConville, who was in third place, fell foul of Tomas Mezera, Holden Racing Team VP Commodore. The car went over Skyline and McConville flipped it sideways, causing only minor cosmetic damage to the Falcon. Radisich/McConville finished in 8th place, 10 laps behind Larry Perkins/Gregg Hansford, despite the damage to the #18 Shell car. McConville’s Mount Panorama crash proved costly for his career.

McConville started his motor racing career when he was eight, racing go-karts at first local and then national championships. This culminated in several Victorian titles. He became the youngest holder of a CAMS racing license at the age of 15. After a brief stint in Formula Vee racing, McConville moved onto the highly competitive Formula Ford category in 1991. He was selected to drive the Van Diemen ‘works’ van Diemen in 1992 and won the Motorcraft Formula Ford Driver to Europe Series, beating future champions Craig Lowndes (and Steven Richards)

He was the youngest winner of the series and this win attracted national attention. Dick Johnson’s Shell Ultra-hi Racing offered him a test role. Johnson was impressed by McConville and he was invited to be a driver in the Tooheys 1000 1992 in the second Ford Sierra RS500. McConville was able to qualify the car but it was difficult for him to drive the turbocharged car in wet conditions.

An impressive part-time drive in the 1999 V8 Supercar championship saw the Holden Racing Team offer McConville an endurance co-drive, pairing up with the then championship leader Craig Lowndes. Together they finished in second place at the Bathurst 1000 race. This performance earned him a full-time contract with the newly expanded Rod Nash Racing for 2000. In 2001 he moved to the Sydney-based Lansvale racing team where he continued to impress in under- funded, less-developed machinery. He remained with the team until he was offered a contract with the Garry Rogers Motorsport outfit in 2004 after he was the outright winner of the Bathurst 24 hour race in 2002 in a Holden Monaro driving for the same team. The move to the Garry Rogers team proved fruitful for McConville when he took his first championship race win at Winton Raceway in 2004. In 2005 he took on team leader status at GRM with the departure of Garth Tander to the HSV dealer team. The following year, McConville was lured to Kees and Paul Weel’s Supercheap Auto Racing outfit to pair with Greg Murphy after the retirement of Paul Weel in 2005.
