Super Cheap Auto Racing, theꦅ official entry o෴f Paul Weel Racing in the V8 Supercar Series, has confirmed the identity of its new 2006 driver.
Cameron McConville has been officially named as the replacement driver for former driver Paul Weel, who announced his departure from Australia's highest form o൲f motorsport due to business commitments (running the team and concentrating more on his PWR Performance Products brand).
Both McConville and new teammate Greg Murphy had hinted at the move for sometime, yet Super Cheap Auto Racing today officially announced the 2006 drive💦r lineup.
McConville began racing in the V8 Supercar Champion in 1999 with John Faulkn🌌er Racing. Opportunities to drive alongside the likes of Craig Lowndes and Mark Skaife at the Holden Racin𝄹g Team arose in 1999, but it wasn't until he drove for the small Lansvale Racing Team outfit in 2001 that he started to become noticed in pitlane.
When Lansvale was bought out at the end of 2003, McConville was signed up by Garry Rogers Motorsport for the 2004 championship - a worthwhile deal for both parܫties, as it culminated at Winton Racﷺeway with McConville claiming his first win in a V8, and GRM its first round win since 2000.
However the opportunity to drive for one of Holden's 'Big Three' teams was too good to let go, and McConville will debut with the team at tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhe Clipsal 500 Adelaide in March.
"Signing with Super Cheap Auto Racing is a further step forward in my career anไd provides me the best opportunity that I've had to b𒁃e consistently up the pointy end of the field," said McConville.
"The V8 Supercar Series is becoming more and more competitive each year and if your goal i🀅s to be competitive and win race🏅s as mine is, then you have to be with a team that has the right package.
"I visited the PWR workshops a ꦍfew times before Christmas and met with the team - who are a young and very motivated bunch - and I believe all of the ingredients needed to be successful today in V8 Supercars are꧑ in place there.
"Kees and Paul Weel have given me a great opportunity at SCAR and I intend 🐠on not wasting it."
Paul Weel is satisfied that McConville was the logical choice for his replacement. McConville is renowned for his natural speed and race-smarts 📖and coupled with his strength at adapting to most tracks, he should be competitive in his new habitat from the word 'Go.'
"When I decided to retire to concentrate purely on business, we set a goal of securing a driver who met our requirements and would help the team grow," said ✅Weel.
"Cameron McConville fitted the bill perfectly; he is a quality, high-calibre driver ♈with a proven, race-winning record and we were happy that he was available.
"Cameron adds an🦂other dimension to our team and he will provide Murph (Greg Murphy) with healthy competition, while both drivers will help us achieve our goal of stepping up a notch and reaching the next level of competitiveness."
McConville will drive the #50 Super Cheap Auto VZ Commodore in this year's V8 Supercar Championship Series, and has been replaced by Dean Canto at Garry Rogers Motorsport. He will kick-start hꦿis new beginning at Super Cheap/PWR at the Clipsal 500 Adelaide - an event compromising of two 250 kilometre r🌠aces around a shorter version of the former Adelaide Formula One circuit.
