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 after ten events. Podiums at Bathurst, Symmons Plains, The Bend, Hidden Valley, Townsville and Sydney, have Will sitting strongly as the season concludes over these next two events.
