Davison confident FPR will bounce back

davison2013titlebattleFormer championship leader Will Davison believes Ford Performance Racing will return to winning ways immediately following a difficult weekend at Hidden Valley.

The factory Ford team went without a win at an event for the first time in 2012 at Hidden Valley, struggling to turn its strong qualifying speed into race pace in the hot and humid conditions, allowing title rival Triple Eight to gain the ascendancy.

"We've had a great race car all year," Davison said on this week's edition of the V8 Insiders podcast. "But with extremely hot temperatures, slippery track, soft tyres, we just didn't have the car right in the conditions."

Triple Eight not only scored a dominant one-two at Hidden Valley but also in last season's Townsville Sunday race. But Davison is confident Ford Performance Racing can compete with Triple Eight in the hot and humid conditions of north Queensland next event.

"In Townsville everything will make a lot of sense there and the cars will be right and back challenging for the lead again," he said.

"This (Hidden Valley) is just a strange track; nothing made sense on our car. The usual things that work didn't.

"But I'm confident we won't see a repeat of what we experienced in the races."

Despite six wins to Jamie Whincup's three, Davison sits 38 points behind the Triple Eight driver heading into the midway point of the season in Townsville.
