Davison joins Menu.

Australian Will Davison has changed teams for the remainder of the 2003 British Formula Three Championship, and impressed new team Menu Motorsport with a charging display at Spa-Francorchamps.

The 21-year old debuted in his new Dallara-Opel at the famous Belgian circuit, having left fellow countryman Alan Docking's team in order to re-invigorate his performances. The change of team follows a series of poor qualifying results, which have been below the standards Davison achieved earlier in the season, and the Australian feels that a new team, atmosphere and environment could inspire a return to the form which saw him dominate round five at Croft.

"The recent lack of results has forced us to come to a difficult decision to part company with Alan Docking Racing, which was born out of the fact that the budget for the season from our investors was drying up - due to the lack of results," said Davison, who joins another Australian, engineer Mick Kouros, at the Brands Hatch-based Menu outfit.

"We parted with ADR on totally amicable terms and sat down to plan just where we would go from there. On Tuesday of this week, a budget came through and there was a seat available at Menu Motorsport, so the deal all came together relatively quickly, really.

"I'm confident that the package we have, coupled with a new team, will give me the confidence boost I need to round out 2003 and have a solid finish to take into next year."

Davison has, in effect, swapped seats with erstwhile Menu driver Adam Carroll, who has moved in the opposite direction to partner American stand-in Joel Nelson at ADR.
