Triple F Racing was an Australian motor racing team that competed in the International V8 Supercars Championship between 2009 and 2013. The team was based on the Gold Coast in Queensland but continued to have strong links with the team's original home in Perth.
In its final two years its Racing Entitlement Contract (REC) was leased to Dick Johnson Racing. At the end of 2013 the REC was returned to the issueing organisation, V8 Supercars Australia, formally ending its participation in V8 Supercar.
The team was formed by the West Australian Fiore racing family, with the team name referencing the three Fiore brothers Dean, Paul and Todd. The team raced out of Western Australia for many years running mainly in state level series in Formula Ford and Saloon Car racing. After the collapse of Team Kiwi Racing as a V8 Supercar team in early 2009, Triple F Racing was created to keep Dean Fiore, who had been racing the Holden VE Commodore utilising the Team Kiwi Racing REC, but the car was in essence a third car for the Paul Morris Motorsport team. Triple F Racing formally took over the car as of the Winton round of the 2009 series. In keeping with results achieved by second and/or third Paul Morris Motorsport supported vehicles, results were modest.
For the 2010 season, a Ford FG Falcon was acquired from Paul Cruikshank Racing and the team moved into their own workshop on the Gold Coast. Dean Fiore moved up the grid in terms of performance with the later model car. The former VE Commodore was used by Paul and Todd Fiore in the second-tier Development Series until round 5 where the team debuted an ex Triple 8 BF Falcon, which was used for the rest of the season.Michael Patrizi was the teams co-driver in the endurance races.
