Seven-time Supercars champion Jamie Whincup will work with a new engineer in 2021 after a staffing shake up at Triple Eight that will conclude his seven-year partnership with David Cauchi.
The powerhouse squad announced today that both its drivers will work with fresh faces for the 2021 season, after Shane van Gisbergen s engineer Grant McPherson defected to join fellow Holden squad Walkinshaw Andretti United as its Head of Performance.
After seven years with Whincup, which yielded a brace of Supercars titles in 2014 and 2017, Cauchi will be moved over to the #97 Holden to engineer van Gisbergen, while new recruit Wes McDougall will take over Whincup s #88 machine.
