With just weeks to go until the Gulf Air Desert 400 V8 Supercars race comes to Bahrain, there's a new man at the top of V8 Supercars Australia.
Cameron Levick, pictured right, beat off competition from more 60 applicants from across the globe to take over from retiring chief executive Wayne Cattach.
"Cameron was the outstanding candidate amongst a tremendously impressive field of applicants from both Australia and internationally," V8 Supercars Australia chairman Tony Cochrane said. He added that this would be a great day for the V8 to now be led by a young man with great talent and vision.
Levick will now be charged with leading the sport in the crucial areas of cost containment, the introduction of ethanol and significant format changes to the category in 2009, debut of the Townsville 400 next July and the ongoing growth of the sport in Australia and internationally.
On his appointment Levick said: "I plan to listen to as many stakeholders as I can about the sport. They include fans, the media, teams, drivers, V8 Supercar staff, sponsors, manufacturers and the other motorsport categories."
