Team 18 have confirmed their driver pairings for the 2025 endurance season.
Lee Holdsworth is set to pair with David Reynolds in the TRADIE Energy Racing Camaro, while Harri Jones will make his Supercars debut alongside Anton De Pasquale in the DEWALT Chevrolet.
Holdsworth returns to Team 18 where he formally raced as a main driver from 2015 to 2018. He has enjoyed success as a co-driver, winning the Bathurst 1000 in 2021.
Holdsworth will reunite with a former main-game teammate of his in Reynolds, who were teammates in 2022. He will also reunite with former race engineer Richard Hollway.
Jones, the defending two-time Porsche Carrera Cup Australia Champion, was evaluated by the team at The Bend in December 2024, before securing his co-driver role for this year.
Jones will pair his endurance drive with a defence of his Porsche title with his family-run team, before he will team up with De Pasquale at The Bend and Bathurst.
Holdsworth and Jones will get behind the wheel with the team at today’s pre-season test at Sydney Motorsport Park, ahead of the first round of the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship this weekend, 21-23 February.
QUOTES
David Reynolds, driver #20 TRADIE Beer Racing Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
“I’m very excited to have Lee Holdsworth as my co-driver. He’s one of the best blokes in pit lane. I was teammates with him full time back in 2022 and we had a really good year together. He’s a great racing driver and a better person, he brings up the vibe whenever he is around.
“He’s very experienced in the big races and he’s going to add a lot to our team.”
Lee Holdsworth, 2025 TRADIE Energy Racing Co-Driver
“I’m excited to be with Dave. We’ve been teammates in the past, we had a lot of fun together and now to team up, it’s going to be really enjoyable.”
“Team 18 has been going from strength to strength. They’ve shown some really good speed. It’s pretty cool to be back with my old race engineer Krusty [Hollway] as well.
“We’ve got a good crew, so I’m excited about 2025 and what we’ve got in store.”
Anton De Pasquale, driver #18 DEWALT Racing Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
“ Super excited for Harri to join me for the Enduros.
“He’s obviously a massive talent, he’s got some crazy good results in Porsches and I’m excited to have him in the Supercar. I think it’s a great year for him to step in with a lot of new things happening with the tyres and formats.
“It’s shaping up to be a really good team. We’ve got four good drivers. We can all bounce off each other and get on really well and hopefully have both cars right at the front come crunch time at The Bend and Bathurst.
“Harri will be a really good addition to that, he brings a lot of experience from other series, which is always really good as well.”
Harri Jones, 2025 DEWALT Racing Co-Driver
“As a first-time co-driver this year, my main goal is to absorb as much as I can. Partnering with Anton is a great opportunity to fast track my development, given his years of success and experience. We’re a great match, even down to sharing the same seat insert. Endurance season can’t come quickly enough!”
