Team 18 is
gearing up for the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship with the introduction of a brand-new chassis for its latest recruit, Anton De Pasquale.
The fourth Gen3 Chevrolet Camaro built by the team, designated T18-004, is nearing completion and will take to the track for the first time in early February.
As part of the team’s preparations, the DEWALT Camaro previously driven by Mark Winterbottom in 2023 and 2024 (T18-002), will transition to serve as the team’s spare car for the upcoming season.
Meanwhile, David Reynolds will begin the 2025 campaign behind the wheel of T18-003, the chassis he drove at the 2024 Gold Coast and Adelaide rounds.
T18-001, Reynolds’ initial chassis for 2024, has been rested from active competition for the time being.
Team 18 plans to conduct a shakedown of T18-004 on Thursday, February 13, following their livery launch scheduled for February 12.
The 2025 Repco Supercars Championship officially kicks off with a pre-season test day at Sydney Motorsport Park on Wednesday, February 19, ahead of the season opener at the Sydney 500 on February 21-23.
