Alpha Sponsored Tekno Autosports wins Bathurst 1000

12Oct

Alpha Hotels & Resorts are joining the Tekno Autosports team in celebrating the breathtaking 2016 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 win on Sunday.

Alpha Hotels & Resorts have been a sponsor of the Tekno team for a number of years and were ecstatic to see Will Davison and his co-driver Jonathan Webb win in what was a truly thrilling finish.

“This is just phenomenal,’’ Davison said.

“To win this with such a small team, and with Jonathan (Webb) is just real special. We are a really close team and to do it with them is incredible.’’

Davison’s win will go down in Mount Panorama folklore after the 2009 winner ran out of fuel while crossing the line to win the race by the narrowest margin in competitive history.

In a breathtaking finale to the race, Jamie Whincup was controversially stripped of a certain win for his role in a crash that crushed Garth Tander and Scott McLaughlin’s Bathurst dream.

Davison then held off the fast finishing Shane Van Gisbergen to land the shock win.
