TCR Driver Standards Advisor Alex Davison joins grid for S5000 opener

Experienced Australian driver Alex Davison has been announced for the S5000 series debut at Sandown.

Davison began his career in Formula Ford before moving into international Porsche racing and then the Supercars Championship.

He is currently the Driver Standards Advisor for the carsales TCR Australia Series, a role which will not be affected by his S5000 entry.

“I’ve enjoyed my time as the Driver Standards Advisor for TCR Australia, but I’d much prefer to be the other side of the fence, so I’m really excited for this opportunity,” said Davison.

“I’ve been watching the developments of the S5000 category with interest, right from the beginning. I remember some discussions I had with Chris Lambden many years ago, and there’s been some twists and turns, but it’s awesome to see his vision come together.”

“There’s been a lot of chat in the industry about it, and it’s an honour to be involved in the first ever event.”

He joins Team BRM alongside Rubens Barrichello and Time Berryman.
