WILL DAVISON.
POINT TO PROVE
2021 Results
Championship position | 3rd Podiums | 10 Best Finish | 2nd (4 times)
For Will Davison, the 2021 Supercars season is all about redemption. After a blistering start to the 2020 year, Davison was constantly at the head of the pack and even topped the season-opening test day right here at The Bend. When the Championship dispersed after a non-event at The Australian Grand Prix, only one driver failed to return post-lock down: Davison. With his major backer throwing in the towel and his team pulling the pin, the 19-time Supercars race winner had to regroup. Representing Doric in the Supercars ESeries was the first step, before ultimately landing a seat alongside Cameron Waters at Tickford Racing for the lone two-driver event of the year – The Bathurst 1000. The event was strong for the duo, who finished second, giving Davison his fourth visit to the Mount Panorama podium. Better things were to come for Davison, with the announcement that he was to join a fresh-look Dick Johnson Racing squad for the current season. The signing resulted in a homecoming of sorts for Davison, who drove for the team in the 2005 enduro races before making his full-time debut in the main game in 2006.

Strong results followed: third in the 2007 Bathurst 1000 was backed up by a thirdplace later in the year in Bahrain, while 2008 provided two wins at Eastern Creek and Winton, and ultimately fifth in the season standings. One change for Davison is his race number: no longer sporting 18, he now proudly wears 17, the combination made so successful by team patron Johnson and later Scott McLaughlin, with the number having won eight of the outfit’s ten Championships. One carryover from McLaughlin’s threepeat of Series’ crowns is his race engineer, with Richard Harris continuing to call the shots for Davison as he finds his feet in his return home.
The Season So Far Consistency has been key to Will Davison’s season, who has risen to third in the point standings coming into the season finale. Podiums at Bathurst, Symmons Plains, The Bend, Hidden Valley, Townsville and Sydney have Will set for to equal his best championship position since 2013. This weekend he teams up with his brother Alex Davison for The Great Race, with car 17 shooting for its fifth Bathurst 1000 win.
ANTON DE PASQUALE.
SYDNEY SMASH
2021 Results
Championship position | 6th Podiums | 13 Best Finish | 1st (6 times)
A karting prodigy, Anton de Pasquale has been one to beat ever since he graduated to circuit racing in 2012. Quickly adapting to Formula Ford, in his rookie season, Anton was straight on the front running pace, claiming three top-flight wins before the year was out. By 2013, Anton was an unstoppable force, registering seven wins, 18 podiums, three poles and seven fastest laps from 22 races enroute to the Formula Ford title. For 2014, Europe called, and Anton began the climb up the Formula 1 ladder.
Breakthrough wins at Phillip Island and Sydney Motorsport Park saw Anton finish P4 in the 2017 standings before receiving the call up to the big league the following year with Erebus Motorsport. Multiple top-ten results showed the pace was there, which was proven in 2019 when he broke through for a pair of podium finishes at Phillip Island and The Bend. Last year was a breakout year, with further podiums at The Bend and Sydney Motorsport Park, with the highlight coming at Hidden Valley, where he broke through for a maiden victory. Also, third place overall in the BP Supercars All-Stars Eseries with four wins underlined his adaptability.
The Formula Renault 1.6 title didn’t know which way to look – from 14 races, Anton won nine, had 12 podiums, nine poles, nine fastest laps and the championship cup.
An off-season move to Dick Johnson Racing has already shown that he can be a champion in the future.
However, stepping up to Formula Renault 2.0 proved more challenging, with a lack of budget ultimately curtailing his 2015 run.
The Season So Far
A return to Australia in 2016 saw his first foray into the world of tin tops, with a season in the Super 2 Series witnessing constant improvement, which peaked with a fine third place in the season’s showcase event at Mount Panorama.
Season 2021 has seen Anton furfill his potention at the top level of the sport. This Sydney Motorsport Park swing saw Anton claim five of the ten race wins, including an impressive seven pole positions. Paired with Tony D’Alberto this weekend, the combination is on the shortlist of favourites

DESMOSPORT 2021 Results
Championship position | 7th (58 pts behind 1st) Podiums | 3 Best Finish | 2nd (1 time)
Doric Ducati has a great ring to it, doesn’t it? The DesmoSport Ducati squad was formed in 2016 by Troy Bayliss and Ben Henry. Ben is a former Superbike racer of note, while Troy is a legend of the sport. A winner in MotoGP, he is better known for his World Superbike exploits, claiming three world titles, with his 52 wins from 152 starts placing him third on the all-time wins list. Ninety-four podiums, 26 poles, 35 fastest laps, his stats are enormous. For 2021, the Doric Ducati program expands to two bikes, with the son of a gun Oli Bayliss joining the squad. With the 2020 national Superbike scene shut down due to the pandemic, Oli made his first Superbike races in lower-level events. This year stepping up to the big league, he has plenty of highly experienced help in his corner, no more so than his teammate, Mad Mike Jones. One common thread throughout his career has remained: winning championships. From the Australian Mini Moto Championship in 2006, Mike has gone on to win the Australian Junior 150cc and 80cc titles, Superstock 600, FX Nationals 600, and the Australian Superbike Championship, which he claimed in 2015, and in 2019, with a final-round thriller for DesmoSport Ducati. Mike has raced in Europe and has been a wildcard in both World Superbike and MotoGP. The truncated Australian Superbike Championship concludes at The Bend Motorsport Park on December 3-5.

The Season So Far Mike Jones The season started strongly for the twice Australian Superbike Championship winner, with a second and a third from the opening event at Winton Raceway. The second round at Wakefield Park saw Mad Mike come home with finishes of fourth and third, while he was a non-starter at Hidden Valley after a fall in qualifying sidelined him for the weekend. Oli Bayliss His rookie campaign kicked off at Winton with a seventh and fourth, while a mechanical non-finish in the Wakefield Park opener was backed up by a solid recovery to seventh in race two. Following a strong fourth in the Hidden Valley opener, the son of a gun put in a brilliant performance to pass multiple champion Wayne Maxwell to claim the win, the youngest victor in series history.
HUNTER MCELREA.
UP TO INDY LIGHTS IN 2022 2021 Results
Championship position | 5th (76 pts behind 1st) Podiums | 2 Best Finish | 1st (1 time)
If you haven’t heard the name Hunter McElrea before – take note, he is one young man on a mission.
Hunter’s circuit racing career kicked off in earnest at the tender age of 15, when he stepped behind the wheel of a family-run Formula Ford, with success coming almost immediately.
Backed by Doric New Zealand, Hunter is making waves in the USA as the latest Antipodean driver to climb the ranks of Indycar, following in the footsteps of champions such as Scott Dixon and Will Power.
Fast forward to 2018, and with several seasons under his belt, learning his craft at state-level meets around the country, Hunter blitzed the Australian Formula Ford Series for the talent factory that is Sonic Motor Racing Services.
The latest step in this progression was confirmed last week, when it was announced that in 2022 he will be racing for the legendary Andretti Autosport in the Indy Lights Championship.
Led by the highly experience Mick Ritter, Hunter claimed an incredible 13 wins from 21 race starts, 16 total podium finishes, three pole positions and seven fastest laps.
Owned by Michael Andretti, the squad is one of the most decorated outfits in North American Motorsport, fielding cars in Indycar, Indy Lights, Sportscars, Formula E, Rallycross, Extreme E, with Andretti also holding down a stake in the Supercars focussed Walkinshaw Andretti United team.
At the end of the season, Hunter headed Stateside to chase the dream of racing in Indycar.
The enterprise boasts over 200 total race wins, four IndyCar Series championships, four Indy Lights titles, one Indy Pro 2000 and one USF2000 championship, a Silver Class GT4 championship and has captured victory five times at the famed Indianapolis 500-Mile Race The move follow’s Hunter’s third place finish in the 2021 Indy Pro 2000 Championship. “It is a dream come true for me to join a team like Andretti Autosport,” said Hunter. “After my first days in an Indy Lights car and working with the team, it’s clear to me why they are one of the world’s most successful race teams. I cannot thank my sponsors, backers, and investors enough for making this possible for me. And of course, everyone at Andretti Autosport for welcoming me. This is the biggest opportunity I have ever gotten in my racing career to date, and I plan on making the most of it!”

First up was the runoff for the Mazda Road to Indy USF2000 Scholarship, which Hunter won against an ultra-competitive field, taking with him $200,000 worth of backing into the 2019 season. Hunter won four races from the 14 starts, including 11 podiums, six pole positions and four fastest laps, claiming second in the final standings by the slimmest of margins. Graduating to Indy Pro 2000 in 2020, Hunter was a constant threat for the podium, placing in the top three six times from the 17 races before ultimately breaking through in the season finale with a race win. By graduating to Indy Lights, a victory in the series would guarantee an Indycar seat in 2023.

N2C.
NO SECOND CHANCE Youth safety program to help save teenage lives. Doric and Cowdroy are proud to partner with No Second Chance (N2C), the revolutionary youth safety program developed to save teenage lives arising from the tragic consequences of youth violence and road accidents.
There’s no doubt that these are confronting issues, but N2C preaches the cause of making smart decisions, and since 2013, it has reached many school groups around the country. Incredible presenters, and the use of motorsport as a medium to cut through to the target audience, has given N2C a successful platform to convey its message. Key speakers include Paul Stanley and Matt Speakman, both of whom have paid a huge cost for other people’s bad decisions. Paul’s 15-year-old son Matthew tragically lost his life due to a senseless bashing at a party in 2006.
More information can be found at: www.n2c. com.au

Subsequently, Paul has delivered his message to over 150,000 school students.
Matt meanwhile was hit by a drunk driver off his motorcycle in 1993, suffering paraplegia. Since then, Matt has gone on to successfully race in various classes, including Porsches, while he has also been a member of the Australian Paralympics Alpine Ski team, and campaigned in the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. The stories Paul and Matt tell are emotional, but they hammer home a point. The ambassador, and master of ceremonies for the program is renowned Supercars driver Warren Luff, who conveys a message of being focused, staying safe, and how making positive life decisions can open the doors to allow you to live your dreams.
DORIC RACING
AT BATHURST Doric has a proud history of success on the Mountain in a variety of classes. Our first win in The Great Race came in 2013, when Mark Winterbottom teamed up with Steven Richards, claiming victory by less than half a second over Jamie Whincup/ Paul Dumbrell following a thrilling late-race battle.
Other notable performances for Doric racers on the Mountain included last year, when Davison teamed with Cam Waters to finish second after Waters earlier claimed the pole position.
The win was the first in the event for Ford Performance Racing, which repeated the effort 12 months later with Chaz Mostert and Paul Morris.
Davison himself topped the 2012 Shootout, leading the field away on race day.
In what has gone down in the books as one of the best Bathurst 1000s of all-time, Mostert and Morris came through from last on the grid, also recovering from an early meeting with the wall at Griffiths Bend and a mid-race red flag. For the first time ever, there was a last lap change of the lead, with Mostert passing Whincup at the start on Conrod Straight, who ran out of fuel. Making it three wins in four years, Will Davison and Jonathon Webb held on in another classic in 2016.
Outside of the main event, Doric has had plenty of success in the supports at Bathurst. Between 2011 and 2018, John Bowe earned seven wins in Touring Car Masters competition aboard Mustang Sally and later his Holden Torana, in total claiming 21 podiums. Bowe is also a two-time winner of the Bathurst 12 Hour, in 2010 and 2014. Elsewhere, James Moffat registered the first podium for Doric on The Mountain when he finished second in the V8 Supercars Development Series race on the Saturday of the 2010 event.
That particular race saw a late-race clash between leaders Whincup, Scott McLaughlin and Garth Tander, with Davison able to pick his way through the mess, and hold off Shane Van Gisbergen in the run to the chequered flag as he also ran out of fuel.

BATHURST
TRIVIA TIME SEEKING some drivers to fill your prospective qualifiers for the top-ten shootout? Eight drivers have an average qualifying position better than tenth at Bathurst in Championship races, namely: Anton de Pasquale (4.6), Shane van Gisbergen (6.6), Mark Winterbottom (8.1), Jamie Whincup (8.2), James Courtney (9.5), Chaz Mostert (9.8), and Cam Waters (9.9). On the all-time Supercars list, Scott McLaughlin tops the charts with an average starting position of 3.9. OF THE lead drivers, Mostert’s average Mount Panorama Championship race finishing position of 8.7 leads the way from van Gisvergen on 9.3 and Whincup on 9.7. Whincup led the way on 9.2 before last year’s faux pas. AFTER seven rookies were entered last year, Zak Best will be assured Rookie of the Year honours when he lines up alongside Jack Le Brocq in the Truck Assist Mustang as the sole first time starter in the field. THERE are five drivers not returning this year, namely Jordan Boys, Rick Kelly (retired), Scott McLaughlin (Indycar), Tyler Everingham and Steve Owen. Taking their place will be Russell Ingall, David Wall, Matt Campbell, Luke Youlden and Best.
2009 - David Wall & Leanne Tander with Wilson Security Racing PCR Ford A TOTAL of 25 cars are set to feature on the starting grid, the equal lowest of all time with 2014 and last year. THE infamous 2014 race featured ten safety car appearances, equal with 2006 and 1999, although smashed by the 13 appearances in 2000. The most laps under the safety car in a race was 2006 with 36, primarily due to Paul Radisich’s awful shunt at The Chase. Meanwhile, 2013 and 2018 featured six laps of Safety Car activity each, with two and three interruptions respectively. Last year there were five cautions for ten laps. WILL this be the first Bathurst 1000 to break the Six Hour barrier? Since the race extended from 500 miles (805km) to 1000km in 1973, it took until 1977 for the seven-hour mark to be bettered, which was achieved by Allan Moffat/Jacky Ickx with a time of 6hr, 59min 7.8sec. The race record belongs to Craig Lowndes/Steve Richards in 2018 with a time of 6hr 1min 44,5456sec, while the longest recorded race was 2014, with Mostert/Morris winning with a time of 7hr 58min 53.2052sec, which dragged on due to a mid-race red flag.
OVER the past 20 years, the race winner has started on the front row eight times. Of course, Mostert/Morris put in a big burn from the stern to win in 2014 from 25th on the grid. Still, there have been some other sizable drives through the field on race day in recent times: Davison/Webb started 17th in 2016 to win, a year before Lowndes/ Richards were victorious from 15th, the same position as Bright/Richards in 2008. Last year, van Gisbergen/Garth Tander won from fourth.
2009 - Fabian Coulthard & Michael Patrizi with Wilson Security Racing PCR Ford 22 /
2010 - James Moffat DVS
WITH 11 of the last 20 pole positions, Anton de Pasquale is clearly carrying over the legacy of Scott McLaughlin’s one-lap pace in the Shell squad. For reference, in the corresponding time period of McLaughlin’s first year at the team in 2017, he scored 14 pole positions.
SINCE winning The Great Race in 2013 and ’14, the team known as Tickford Racing has always been in the Bathurst conversation. Following second for Winterbottom/Owen in 2015, the team has also earned a fourth for Waters/Le Brocq in 2016, fourth for Mostert/Moffat in 2018, and a second last year for Waters/Davison. At the season-opening Mount Panorama 500, all three of their cars finished races within the top-eight.
THE brothers Davison, Will and Alex, have partnered four times previously for the Bathurst 1000, with a best result of fourth in 2014.
2010 - Tim Slade & Jack Perkins
SHANE van Gisbergen has had a ridiculous season. From 35 races, he was 19 wins and 29 podiums. First in the New Zealand Grand Prix, first in the Bathurst 6 Hour, a winner in the GT World Challenge Australia at Bathurst, won both races of the Mount Panorama 500, both races of the Townville 500, the only race of the SMP 500, a total of 14 Supercars races, and so on. By the way, his Bathurst co-driver Garth Tander has claimed the 1000 on four occasions. Handy stats. CAN the GOAT go out as a full-time driver a winner? Clearly, Whincup’s trials and tribulations at Bathurst have been well documented, but he does have four wins in the 1000, and three second-place finishes on his remarkable CV. Also, he has never finished lower than fourth in the Bathurst 12 Hour. Don’t forget, his co-driver Craig Lowndes put a fullstop on his final full-time season in 2018 with his seventh Bathurst 1000 success.

BATHURST 1000
WINNING STRATEGY SO, YOU WANT TO WIN THE BATHURST 1000? Here we take a deep dive into the aspects to keep an eye on during this year’s Great Race. There are a lot of factors to come into play – obviously, car pace is king – slow teams don’t win Bathurst. You want to have a fast, safe co-driver, and you want them in the car at the right times, only just covering their minimum driving times. As always, expect the co-drivers to knock over as many laps as possible in the opening half of the race.

Drivers must not exceed 3.5 hours of continuous driving time Each driver must complete at least 54 laps Seven compulsory pit stops for fuel and/or tyres Brake rotors will need to be changed once between laps 55 and 120 52 new hard tyres, 28 wet weather tyres
Safety cars dictated the timing of three of the pit cycles, namely on lap 33 (Jamie Whincup in the fence), lap 51 (Jordan Boys crash), and lap 97 (BJR cars coming together at Murray’s), with two other late yellows falling after the final stops.
THE 2019 RACE
The 3.5 hours of continuous driving is not compatible with a straight 107 lap stint coming home for the main driver – even with a massive green flag run, so this has to be juggled accordingly.
Looking back at the 2019 edition, the race played out with significantly different strategies for the key players.
Safety car interventions have to come into consideration, as well as the maximum distance on a tank of petrol, which in the past three years stands at 26 laps (including three sloooow safety car laps), with normal stints typically topping out at 24-25 laps. As seen below, 27 lap stints are possible in the wet.
Laps on which the Podium Finishers from 2019 Pitted:
Therefore, the key lap to look for final stops to fall will be around lap 135. To help you play armchair engineer, we’ve broken down the strategy plays for the recent editions of the Bathurst 1000.
THE 2020 RACE Last year’s race proved to be one of follow the leader, although, the deciding factor amongst leaders more or less proved to be co-driver stint timings, particularly for Scott McLaughlin having Tim Slade pitted against main drivers late in the day. 24

Throughout the day, car 17 ran reasonably even stints, a ploy that ultimately saw the team pressed into action one less time than the other podium pair.
Triple Eight meanwhile ran reasonably long on the first four stints, before shorter stints in preparation to line up their final stop at the right time – which ultimately was forced upon them with the arrival of the safety car.
The Lap Length of Each Stint During the Race:
Walkinshaw Andretti United meanwhile made a couple of early stops, which forced them into running long for the next four stints. For the top three, it was all about that crucial lap 135 service under safety car, which made it marginal to get home on fuel – that 26 lap stint was some two laps longer than any of the other stints seen by the top-three prior – and a distance that needed the help of additional safety cars. One car that bet against a late safety car was car 888 – Whincup/Lowndes, which stopped on lap 151 for a top-up, before eventually claiming fourth, a move that in review was admitted to be the wrong way to go.
THE 2018 RACE This race was definitely a case of follow the leader with the three short yellow flags from the race falling within reasonable windows for teams to fulfil their fuel stops. The first safety car appearance for the expired James Courtney/ Jack Perkins car on lap 34 was followed on lap 76 for a genuine debris caution, with the final on lap 94 for a Hazelwood spin perfectly set up the sprint to the finish.

The strategy for the David Reynolds/Luke Youlden entry closely resembled that of cars 2 and 17; Reynolds ultimately stopped again on lap 142, handing over to Youlden after cramping.
THE 2017 RACE Remember 2017 when it rained and rained and rained? The race featured six safety cars, although these were skewed until the second half of the race. Of note, the wet weather paved the way for some extended stints of up to 27 laps for all of the podium finishers. Laps on which the Podium Finishers from 2017 Pitted: Car #

Tracking the lap chart of this race, it really was a race of comers and goers, as different strategies played out throughout. The first safety car of the race fell on lap 77 when Alex Premat stopped the 17 Falcon at The Cutting, although that was out of sync with the leaders service schedule. Subsequently, everyone headed to the pits when Skippy hit the track on lap 88. The monster 27 lap run home by Reynolds/Youlden and Pye/Luff was assisted by a pair of late cautions for crashes by James Moffat and Simona de Silvestro.
THE 2016 RACE With a long green-flag run through to lap 93, the field chose their own path through the early portion of the race, before converging on very similar strategies for the run home. Laps on which the Podium Finishers from 2016 Pitted: Car #

After the first yellow for the crashed BOC car on top of the Mountain, the leaders returned to the pits on lap 109 when James Moffat’s Volvo expired on Mountain Straight. The ultimately winning Davison/Webb machine then elected against a splash and dash under that yellow, which Van Gisbergen/Premat took, nor the subsequent yellow five laps later when Heimgartner stopped at the Cutting, which allowed Percat/McConville a top-up. When Winterbottom fired off into the Chase bunker with brake failure, the leaders filed into the pits for a pair of fuel refills. Despite a pair of Safety Cars in the closing laps for the Whincup/McLaughlin/Tander wad up and for Rick Kelly’s stack at the Elbow, Davison’s car ran out of fuel on the run into the final corner of the race. Jamie Whincup was the first car across the finish line before a post-race penalty, and was running the same strategy as the leaders from lap 92 onwards. 25
