Mark Dutton

Australian Race Engineer

Triple Eight Race Engineering competes in the Australian Supercars Championship and stands as the most successful team in the sport's history. Mark Dutton, the team manager, is one of the longest-serving figures in the Supercars paddock, having attended every event for over 20 years.

Mark studied mechanical engineering at Queensland University of Technology and was named Young Alumnus of the Year in 2012 for his contributions to the field. His career began in 2001 with Larkham Motor Sport, and he soon advanced to race engineer at Briggs Motor Sport, which Triple Eight acquired in 2003. As a skilled design and data engineer, Dutton teamed up with Jamie Whincup in 2007 as his race engineer. Together, they secured five of Whincup's seven Supercars championship titles.

Dutton, now regarded as the most successful race engineer in the modern era, was promoted to team manager in 2014. Over 21 seasons, Triple Eight has achieved remarkable success, with 10 Drivers Championships, 10 Bathurst 1000 wins, and 11 Teams Championships. Since their first win in 2005, Triple Eight has finished first or second in the Championship every year.
