Will Davison | Part 1 - history lessons and a single seater return
About this episode
The family’s rich racing history which Will has an acute appreciation for.
A WWII story of bravery & survival generations before him & its link with Motorsport.
Racing karts & taking a break for a while before getting back in ‘boots n all’ with a renewed commitment & impressive speed that set him up for a full time career.
Forming lifelong friendships with Jamie Whincup in Formula Ford & recognizing Will Power’s talent early on.
Plus getting back in a single seater in New Zealand & his impressions of the Formula Atlantic.
As well as the chance to decompress & enjoy some perspective ahead of a season of change for Will in 2026.
This conversation is beautifully philosophical at times but you’ll come to appreciate Davison’s ability to harness the tough stuff in our sport & use it as a powerful motivator.
And why he’s loving family life too.
