Will Davison and Anton De Pasquale have both re-signed with the Shell V-Power Racing Team.

Davison and De Pasquale will lead the Ford team into the Gen3 era in 2023.

The two drivers combine for two wins, nine pole positions and 19 podiums this season.

While De Pasquale appeared safe, speculation had been rife over Davison’s future.

However, Davison was all but secured once Will Brown re-signed with Erebus Motorsport.

Davison and De Pasquale have pushed the team forward in 2022.

Davison has particularly impressed under the weight of questions over his future.

The veteran has scored six poles this season, and ended a six-year winless drought in Perth.

"I’m very excited to continue driving for the Shell V-Power Racing Team,” Davison said.

"It’s a fantastic opportunity to race in the iconic Shell V-Power colours, the legendary No. 17 and for such an iconic race team in DJR.

"I can’t wait to build on the excellent results we’ve had to date and continue fighting for race wins.

"I love working with the entire race team, they’re a great group of people and feel like family.”

De Pasquale won the Darwin opener, and held second in the points for much of the season.

“The family culture that Dick and Ryan have created at the team is like no other and I am excited to remain with the Shell V-Power Racing Team,” De Pasquale said.

"It is a great team to work with and for and to have continuity and stability with the team going into next year is excellent, and to have a great teammate in Will.

"We both want to get more wins and continue to be up the front not only for the team but for our partners and the fans.”

The announcement comes two days after the team announced an ownership change.

The Ralph family will become majority shareholders of Dick Johnson Racing in January.

De Pasquale and Davison head to Sandown third and fourth in the points respectively.
