2009 saw Dean Fiore debut in the V8 Supercar Championship, initially starting with theTeam Kiwi outfit run by Paul Morris Motorsports (PMM). Eventually the Fiore family took over the TKR Racing Entitlements Contract and continued to run a VE Commodore under the Triple F Racing banner with preparation from PMM.
This year Triple F have established their own team with a base on the Gold Coast after purchasing the former Fabian Coulthard/Wilson Security Racing FG Falcon to run under the Triple F Racing banner.
Prior to 2009 Dean had no V8 Supercar experience - Dean had his first ever drive in the car at the first round of the Championship, the Clipsal 500 (the most physical demanding race of the season). He finished an amazing 15th outright and was the top performing rookie on debut.

"I have watched Dean Fiore’s career through Formula Ford to Porsche Carrera Cup.
He has proven in Formula Ford that he is as fast and talented as anyone and his transition to Porsche Carrera Cup in a short time has been exceptional. He is now running at the front of the field and regularly gets the fastest lap. I personally compete against him and consider him a committed and talented young man with drive and determination on and off the track.
I believe he would have no trouble making the next step to whatever class he decides to compete in be that V8 Supercars or the Development Series. I am also of the opinion that he would be a great ambassador for any company".
