Will Davison has confirmed that he will be taking part in the next round of the Supercars Championship at Phillip Island in ten days time, despite his injuries in the 12 car pile up in Tasmania on Saturday.
Speaking in his column for Fox Sports, the Tekno Holden driver, who spent Saturday night in hospital due to the hard hit he took in the pile up in race one of the weekend, confirmed that he his main injury is a ‘small break to a right sided transverse process'and there is nothing that can be done to correct it, it has to heal itself with time.
“To answer upfront the question everyone is asking and wondering about, I plan to be on the grid at Phillip Island in about 10 days' time. Right now, we are awaiting the verdict on how repairable my Tekno Commodore is after the multi-car shunt in Saturday's opening Supercars race at Symmons Plains. My primary injury is a small break to a right sided transverse process, which is a small bony projection attached to a vertebrae. It's not something that can be operated on, it'll simply heal over time.”
“But it's the major cause of my discomfort at the moment. There's also a concussion and general bruising everywhere … my body took a big hit and everything feels tender but again, this will subside over the next few days. I'm still very sore, trying all I can do hopefully to be ready for next week. I won't realistically know until early next week whether I'm fit enough to drive. Basically I have to rest for a few days, then move into a regimen of light training, nothing too strenuous.”
Meanwhile Will's Tekno team is busy working through the Easter long weekend to make sure the car is ready to race come next weekend.
