Team 18 drivers Anton De Pasquale and David Reynolds charged through the field in a chaotic Race 6 of the 2026 Repco Supercars Championship at Albert Park, finishing sixth and seventh respectively.
Starting tenth, DEWALT Racing’s De Pasquale made a clean getaway, while Snowy River Racing’s Reynolds surged forward from 20th to gain five spots on the opening lap.
The race was neutralised on Lap 3 when Murray was stranded at Turn 11. At the restart on Lap 6, De Pasquale sat eighth while Reynolds had climbed to 12th.
Reynolds continued his charge through the field, picking off Jones for 11th just before another Safety Car was deployed when Randle hit the wall at Turn 5.
When racing resumed on Lap 10 the action kicked off again. De Pasquale briefly lost a position to Hill but reclaimed the spot soon after to secure sixth place, while Reynolds capped off a strong recovery drive by passing Hill on the final lap at the last corner to claim seventh.
The time-certain 15-lap race marked a strong turnaround for the team after a difficult qualifying session earlier in the day.
Team 18 returns to the track tomorrow with Race 7 at 10:10am AEDT ahead of the F1 Australian Grand Prix at 3pm. All the action can be viewed live on Channel 10, Fox Sports and Kayo.
