Description
Denyer is best known to fans for his thriving television career with the Seven Network, having served as weatherman for hit breakfast program Sunrise and daredevil host of Guinness World Records, champion of Dancing with the Stars and currently host of ratings successes Australia’s Got Talent and It Takes Two. Denyer is also a member of Seven’s V8 Supercar telecast team, but the 29-year-old’s accomplishments on the race track are what have secured his place in WPS/WOW Racing’s strong 2007 endurance driver line-up. Denyer scored a top 10 finish when paired with Alex Davison in his Bathurst debut last year, finishing ninth to back up a strong 14th place finish at the Sandown 500 one month earlier. Denyer was ninth in last year’s Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series standings. Denyer scored his first V8 Supercar podium in the 2005 Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series at the Mallala circuit near Adelaide, South Australia and also has a best qualifying performance of fourth. Denyer began his motorsport career at the age of 15 racing karts, performing well in the highest level of that form of motorsport. Denyer then moved into the V8 Utes category, where in 2004 he was crowned the Summer Series champion before moving into V8 Supercars in 2005 in the second-tier Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series.-
