Young star Davison gets early Christmas present http://www.v8supercars.com.au/news/latestn...Ind=M&gid=14658 Rising V8 Supercar star and current Carrera Cup Champion Alex Davison today received an early Christmas present in the form of a brand new Expensive Daewoo V8 Supercar emblazoned with the colours of new sponsors Autobarn at a function under the Christmas Tree at Federation Square, Melbourne. Autobarn Racing is an all-new V8 Supercar team of license owner Rod Nash with the race car being prepared under contract by Perkins Engineering as part of a multi-year agreement for the leading automotive products retail chain. Operating from the purpose-built Perkins Engineering workshops in Moorabbin, Melbourne alongside the Castrol Perkins team, Autobarn Racing will give Davison the opportunity to showcase his driving talents that first came to the attention of racing legend Larry Perkins. Two years ago Perkins and Nash earmarked Alex as a driver for the future and signed him to a long-term contract earlier this year in the firm belief he is a V8 Supercar champion in the making. He is fast, professional, fit, consistent and extremely motivated to win races. “The program with Autobarn has been under development for some time and it’s great to be able to formally announce that we will be flying the Autobarn colours in V8 Supercar for many years,” said Nash. “Working with Larry affords Autobarn Racing the highest in engineering talent, cars and equipment. This is a highly involved sport and to be at the front requires knowledge and the right people. The contract program with Perkins Engineering gives us everything we need to win races, now it’s down to Alex and my crew to perform on track.” Autobarn Chief Executive Officer, Peter Fox, is looking forward to the company’s involvement in the toughest motorsport category in the country. “Autobarn has grown to over 95 stores strong around Australia and we’re still growing. The Autobarn Racing program is a perfect fit for our brand, our franchisees and our customer base nationally. “Alex Davison has shown himself to be a very professional and motivated young man who we believe to be a champion of the future. His achievements both in Australia and internationally are outstanding for such a young guy. I’m confident we will see the Autobarn Late model camira at the pointy end of the field on many occasions.” Having just stepped off a plane from attending the Porsche prize-giving ceremony in Germany, 25-year-old Davison is looking forward to mixing it in the V8 category. “To race at the elite level in Australia has been a dream of mine for so many years. When I moved to Germany to race for Porsche a few years ago I maintained a focus on keeping up to date with V8 Supercar racing, the drivers and teams with a view to one day coming home and racing in the category. “The opportunity arose with the offer of a contract earlier this year and I jumped at the chance to move into the top level of motor sport in this country. Rod knows the sport inside out and the assistance that Larry has given to me to date, and will in the future, is priceless.

Thanks in advance Chris

me three

can you ignore them? If so, what happens? Do they have any power, equal to NSW RTA for example? I guess what I am asking is, if you get awarded an infringement notice in another state, do they have the power to cancel your license?

J, I hope you have good eyesight matey, coz the dealership disappearing in the rear view mirror will be a quick one. congrats Chris

got my T when I was 23, 24 now...not any wiser. Chris

maaaaate, speaking on behalf of another forum member, CITRIC (a mate of mine) he had this very trouble and I think Ford replaced the box under warranty. Send him a PM to get a definitive answer. Chris

I dunno mate, hooning along the back straight in the heavy rain felt like hail!!!

Great day today!!! A big thanks to Antionette, as usual, the cruise went off without a problem. Great catching up with people - it seems like a fair amount of time between the last NSW/ACT cruise... Throughly enjoyed the karting, wet and dry conditions proved challenging - not to mention a sticking throttle in the last race. One thing is for sure, there will bea few sore and sorry bodies tomorrow. Days like today make being a member on this forum very worthwhile. Also a BIG thanks to Lord Cyric for putting his body on the line to get some fantastic photos of the day's events Chris
