Glenfords Racing's Jonathon Webb wi♋ll step into the #20 Paul Cruickshank Racing Falcon alongside regular V8 Supercar Championship driver Marcus Ma🧸rshall for Bathurst and Sandown.

At this stage, Webb is the only named debutant for the 2006 V8 Supercar 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 Cru🌠ickshank Racing) in our first season, so the timing is perfect for all in🐠volved," said Cruickshank.

"Jonathon has had two tests in the Glenfords AEG V8 and was impressive in a range of dry and wet conditions, which is impor♌tant given the unpredictable weather conditions a𒅌t two tracks 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 Johnson Racing, whilst Craig Barid ha𝔍s been assigned to WPS Racing. The youngster was excited by his new opportunity in V8 Supercars.

"This is a dream come true. As a driver you dream of racing the V8's arꦆound Bathurst in 'the Great Race' and I can't thank Paul and the Glenfords Racing crew for this awesome opp꧅ortunity."

Jonathon Webb is competing in the V8 Supercar support racesꦕ this weekend - wཧhilst V8 team leader Marcus Marshall races for Glenford's in the three V8 sprint races.
