John Bowe will also continue into his tenth year as a Doric Ambassador contesting the Touring Car Masters series and is looking to back up his 2015 series win in his all-Aussie Holden SLR5000 Torana. D oric and Cowdroy have a new brand marketing and customer activation program for 2016. Central to the 2016 program is an exciting new partnership with front-running V8 Supercar outfit Tekno Autosports, supporting its racing ventures throughout Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Parent company Alchin Long Group (ALG) will be building upon many years of loyal commitment to Doric Ambassador, Will Davison, joining the star driver in his new role with Tekno Autosports. Doric branding will feature throughout the inside of the #19 Holden V8 Supercar cabin “Doric and Cowdroy are excited about this new partnership and we are looking forward to continuing our active engagement with the series through our passionate customers and staff over the 2016 racing season,” said ALG Marketing Manager, David Scoones. The program has kicked off in fine form, with a race win for Davison and Tekno at the second Championship round in Tasmania last month. 2016 ushered in a new era for the young team, inking a deal for Will Davison to field the squad’s single car entry throughout the 2016 season. The experienced racer is a perfect fit with the exciting and innovative team, having amassed 18 wins and 52 podium finishes over his illustrious V8 career. Davison has wasted no time getting up to speed in 2016, racking up his first win with the new squad just two rounds into the season. The win in Tasmania has cemented confidence in both driver and team for the year ahead. At the heart of Tekno are its personnel. The squad has formed one of the tightest, most effective and inspirational organisations in the industry thanks to a constant drive and a rich winning culture. The team is made up of industry leading engineers and mechanics whose combined skills are driving the team to the top ranks of the sport. In just four short years, Tekno Autosports has gone from a rookie race team to a frontrunning force. Not unlike its new partners Doric and Cowdroy, Tekno continues to climb the ladder of success by driving innovation and striving towards a bigger and better future. The popular squad set up shop in the V8 Supercar Championship in 2011, but its roots run deep into the early 2000’s in grassroots motorsport. 01 Will Davison driving the Tekno Autosports V8 Supercar at the 2016 Perth Supersprint. 02 Doric Ambassador, Will Davison.
