JESSE Dixon has been revealed as the winner of the Shannons Supercar Showdown television series, earning a drive in the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.
In winning the 7mate television series, Dixon joins last year’s winner Cameron Waters, to become the youngest-ever combination in the history of the race.
20-year-old Dixon and 18-year-old Waters, with a combined age of 38 will undercut the previous record of 39 held by Jack Perkins and Shane Price from 2006.
Waters was announced during the week as the replacement for Grant Denyer, who pulled out of driving the #23 Shannons carsales.com.au Racing Commodore.
Dixon has a background in karting, represented Australia in the 2010 Formula BMW Pacific Championship and has competed in this year’s Australian V8 Ute Series.
The Waters/Dixon car is the only wildcard entry in this year’s Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, which brings the field to 29 for the 50th year celebration race.
