GOLD Coast Supercars speedster Will Davison well and truly knows his way around Mount Panorama.

The 36-year-old is a two-time Bathurst 1000 champion and showed there are no signs of him slowing down by topping the timesheets in the opening practice session at the Mountain on Thursday.

The Bulletin joined Davison in walking the 6.213km course to get a feel for the famed circuit and its steep gradients.

In the above video, Davison reveals the secrets to tackling five key points on track – Griffins Bend, the run into The Grate, The Esses, Forrest’s Elbow and The Chase.

Now steering a 23Red Racing Falcon, he is teaming up this weekend with his brother Alex Davison for the third time as they try to better their previous best result together of fourth place in 2014.

Davison won the Great Race in 2009 with Garth Tander at the Holden Racing Team before adding another Peter Brock Trophy to his silverware haul in 2016 alongside Tekno Autosports boss Jonathon Webb.
