Operating out of the Brown Davis trailer during race events, we will be introducing an independent Wurth Trolley – this will consist of everything a pit garage mechanic could ever need. If you’re on the track and need a specific tool, you’re missing a nut or bolt, or you’ve just run out of brake cleaner, the independent Wurth tool trolley will have it! Simply visit the Brown Davis trailer. You’ll be able to experience Wurth tools, chemicals and fasteners all whilst getting your job done! It’s a WIN WIN!
“We want to offer something to the pit lane that has never been offered before. We want to leave a lasting impression amongst a group of like-minded people who understand the importance of high quality tools at such a critical time during race day”, says David.
This initiative fits very nicely with the core values of the Wurth Group. Wurth Australia Marketing Manager, Scott Watkins explains, “Our aim is to INSPIRE our customers and offer a helpful service to people involved in the amazing culture that’s instilled in Australian motorsport. Wurth Australia is here to support and provide a fantastic service before and during race day”.
2018 marked 40 years since David Brown founded Brown Davis Automotive in Bayswater, Victoria. At the very beginning, David was working at Rod Stevens Racing and helped create lightweight aluminum fuel tanks to assist the teams to get the extra laps they needed around Mount Panorama, Bathurst. Who knew this would soon lead to a close friend wanting this same principle applied to his 40 series land cruiser to get him to the tip of Cape York. Suddenly Brown Davis long range fuel tanks were born. Now over 40 years later Brown Davis Automotive make over 200+ tanks for the Australian and US military, mining vehicles, trucks, carpet cleaning vans, motorhomes and of course your average family 4WD.
A Classic Reborn
To celebrate the 40 year milestone, the team at Brown Davis brought the old days back to life by restoring a 1978 Landcruiser 40 Series Shorty. “It’s been great partnering with Wurth Australia. Every single bolt used to restore the Landcruiser has been provided by Wurth”, says David. The modified Toyota has all the bells and whistles you could possibly want in a modern car. From electric seats, power steering, power brakes and even baby seat anchor bolts, this amazing vehicle has it all!
