23Red Racing have confirmed that Will Davison will be their driver for the 2018 Virgin Australia Supercars season.

As reported by Auto Action in the lead up to the Newcastle 500, Davison will drive a Prodrive built Ford Falcon FGX for the Phil Munday owned team, after buying a majority stake in the former Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport operation.

The move will see Davison join his seventh different Supercars team since his debut in the championship back in 2004, after stints at Team Dynamik, Dick Johnson Racing, Holden Racing Team, Ford Performance Racing, Erebus Motorsport and most recently Tekno Autosports.

“I’m really excited to help be a part of building up a new team, having some fun and really surprising some people,” said Davison.

“I love Phil’s (Munday) vision and really like the way he’s going about things. It’s a big challenge ahead and I can’t wait to get started.”

Team owner Munday believes Davison’s experience will help spearhead his new venture.

“I’m honoured to have Will as our first ever driver of 23Red Racing,” said Munday.

“I have faith he will deliver us into an amazing year and I look forward to a long and successful career with him.”

23Red Racing are expected to announce their new sponsorship deal and 2018 livery next week.
