Jonny Reid joins Dick Johnson Racing

Jonny Reid has joined Dick Johnson Racing for the 2013 V8 Supercars season and is set to drive the Wilson Security #12 Ford Falcon.
“My aim since 2011 was to focus on a full time V8 Supercar drive. This is a world class series and after a great run in the enduros last year I was very hungry to try and step up. To be able to begin my fulltime driving with a DJR is fantastic,” said Reid.

The News Zealander is going to be team mate to Tim Blanchard and team owner Dick Johnson is confident ahead of the season with his line-up.
“We were impressed with Tim Blanchard and he tested well for us last week in Sydney. With Steve stepping down we had a number of younger drivers in our sights and Jonny was the stand out. He has raced in a multitude of classes all over the world and has had great success. We saw him as a perfect fit. With renewed and enthusiastic sponsorship support we can really work on bringing these two blokes to the front of the V8 Supercar grid,” said Johnson.

Reid finished second in the Porsche Carrera Cup Australia last year and has previously raced V8 Super Tourers, A1GP and Formula Ford.
