Today, the Castrol EDGE Endurance Countdown looks at the #4 IRWIN Tools Racing Ford Falcon FG entry of Alex Davison and David Brabham.
It’s been a season of up and downs for Davison. A strong start in the Middle East was quickly forgotten with a raft of below average results – particularly in qualifying. Inevitably, this was followed by speculation about his future within the team.
But before anyone could totally write off Davison, he scored a brilliant pole position at Hidden Valley.
Davison will be partnered by Australian international David Brabham – a former Bathurst 1000 winner and semi-regular V8 enduro driver.
Is this team the dark horse in the pack?
