THEY’VE known one another since they were 12 years old in karting and now they’re both Bathurst champions and top-line contenders for the V8 Supercars Championship.

On V8Xtra this week, Neil Crompton sits down with reigning V8 Supercar Champion Jamie Whincup and Tradingpost FPR Ford ace Will Davison to explore their unique relationship both on and off the circuit.

The pair slugged it out for the 2009 championship and now find themselves on opposite sides of the Holden and Ford fence.

It’s the perfect topic to explore as we lead into next weekend’s Clipsal 500 in Adelaide, where the duo engaged in an epic tussle in slippery and treacherous conditions in the Sunday race last year.

Matt White beams in with the latest in BigPond News Xtra – including an exclusive unveil of a team’s livery for the Clipsal 500 – while Neil also catches up with V8 Supercars CEO David Malone.

And Mark Larkham explores more of the behind the scenes nitty-gritty that takes place in a typical V8 Supercar pit lane.

V8Xtra airs on the Seven Network this Saturday February 25 at 12.00pm AEDT.
