Canberra motor racing driver and businessman Dale Brede has died, aged 48.

He was the son of Campbell Brede, dealer principal at National Capital Motors.

Long-time friend and V8 Supercar driver Will Davison described on social media how he was "shocked and heartbroken" at the news.

"Kind, gentle, intelligent, witty, hilarious and always the life of the party," Davison wrote.

Dale Brede raced a huge variety of cars over his career, progressing from karts to open-wheelers, Formula Holdens, and then V8 Supercars.

He drove seven times at Bathurst, with a best place of seventh.
