Glenfords Raꦍcing's Jonathon Webb will step into thꦗe #20 Paul Cruickshank Racing Falcon alongside regular V8 Supercar Championship driver Marcus Marshall for Bathurst and Sandown.
At th🤡is stage, Webb is the only named debutant for the 2006 V8 Supe🍃rcar endurance races at Sandown Park and Mount Panorama, and could very easily be the only rookie on the grid come September. The decision to sign Webb, PCR's representative in the Australian Porsche Carrera Cup Championship, to the number-two position alongside ex-Champ Car driver Marcus Marshall is one that team owner Paul Cruickshank is acutely aware of.
"We want to bring young talent through our organisation and give them opportunities in the biggest races of them all. Jonathon has done everything right to earn this spot, not just this season but since he joined PCR (Paul Cruickshank🐭 Racing) in our first season, so the timing is perfect for all involved," said Cruicksh๊ank.
"Jonathon has had two tests in the Glenfo📖rds AEG V8 and was impressive in a range of dry and wet conditions, which is important given the unpredictable weather conditions at two t🥃racks he will be racing at."
Davison will not be the only Carrera Cup driver driving in the enduro's either. Porche teammate Alex Davison is driving for Dick John🍷son Racing, whilst Craig Barid has been assigned to WPS Racing. The y𒊎oungster was excited by his new opportunity in V8 Supercars.
"This is a dream co♏me true. As a driver you dream of racing the V8's around Bathurst in 'the Great Race' and I can't thank Paul and the Glenfords Racing crew for this awesom🌄e opportunity."
Jonathon Webb is competing in the V8 Supercar support races this weekend - whilst V8 team leader Marcus Marshall races f🍸or Glenford's in t🌌he three V8 sprint races.
