WILL Davison is one driver with a point to prove in 2022.

After being left on the sidelines when the pandemic hit at the start of 2020 when his sponsor left the sport, Davison’s rebuilding effort started at that year’s Bathurst 1000, where he claimed second place finish alongside Cam Waters at Tickford Racing.

For 2021, Davison had signed on with Shell V-Power Racing squad to take over the controls of Dick Johnson’s famed number 17 machine, and throughout the season, he was a picture of consistency.

With ten podium finishes, Davison finished 26 of the 30 races within the top ten - with zero non-finishes, he constantly accumulated points. A pair of pole positions in Darwin also contributed to his average starting position of 5.2.

When the season finished with four consecutive rounds at Sydney Motorsport Park, race pace was not an issue, with nine top-ten finishes from ten races.

He was also frustratingly close to breaking through for his 20th career victory, especially in the second race of the run, when he led 14 laps before a technical issue slowed his charge.

Determination won’t be lacking from the driver of the red 17 Mustang in 2022.
