AJ Lauder is the 2012 Suzuki Swift Sport Cup Series Champion for Team Aegis Oil
Before the series had even turned its final wheel, AJ Lauder of Team Aegis Oil was crowned 2012 Suzuki Swift Sport Cup Champion. The indomitable 17 year old crushed the dreams of his nearest rivals after seizing pole position ahead of Saturday’s double-points opening race of the final round in Taupo and then driving a near-perfect race to take the chequered flag and the series win.
Brother, Brad Lauder, sat proudly in second on the grid, making it a Team Aegis Oil front row for Saturday’s 22 lap feature race, driving a calculated race and collecting third place to add to the team’s commanding stranglehold on the series.
Both Team Aegis Oil drivers drove a circumspect reverse grid opening race on Sunday, driving to ensure points in the bag towards the teams championship and finishing in eighth and ninth. In the final race of the round and this series, AJ’s third place and Brad’s fifth assured Team Aegis Oil of the final round win and the coveted team’s championship.
Proud uncle and managing director of sponsor, Aegis Oil, Paul Radisich, commented today, “ I’m delighted for Team Aegis Oil to win the team championship and for AJ to win the driver’s series at only 17 – it’s great to have another champion in the family. AJ drove beyond his years and with real determination which I’m sure will give AJ the confidence to fulfill his driving ambitions ..”

Team Aegis Oil Driver AJ Lauder
Team Aegis front-runner and Suzuki Swift Sport Cup Championship leader, AJ Lauder, goes into the final round of the series as championship favourite. After a mixed weekend of fortune at the New Zealand Grand Prix at Manfeild, Lauder maintains his lead, albeit by a lesser margin.
After taking pole position for the first race by an impressive 4 tenths of a second, Lauder was in a comfortable position to drive away with the lead. However, he found himself in the uncustomary track position of last after he was shuffled down the pack and then ran wide on the hairpin. Re-joining at the back of the field and showing driving maturity well beyond his years, Lauder carved his way through to finish race one in a creditable fourth
While brother, Brad Lauder, made up a couple of places to finish in sixth, AJ spent the reverse grid race two on the sidelines after breaking a front drive shaft in the warm-up. With the bit between his teeth, AJ leaped off the grid in race three and tousled his way through the field into third, but was classed as finishing fourth after a heavy accident stopped the race three laps early.
In four weeks time, Team Aegis Oil will line up on the grid for the final round of 2012 in Taupo with all eyes on AJ Lauder. At 170 points clear of his closest rival and with 300 points up for grabs, Lauder’s strategy will be to hold it all together and take as many of the double points on offer in race one. Tune in to TV3 and cheer on Team AegisOil making its claim to the Suzuki Swift Sport Cup on Sunday 11th March.
Go Team Aegis Oil !
