Team 18 will officially launch its 2026 Supercars Championship campaign with the unveiling of its main game liveries at the team’s Mount Waverley headquarters on Tuesday 10 February.
The event marks the start of a significant new chapter for the Melbourne-based squad, with 2026 representing its first full season as the homologation partner for Chevrolet and the lead team for the Team Chevy alliance in the Supercars Championship.
Drivers Anton De Pasquale and David Reynolds will again lead Team 18’s on-track campaign, unveiling their new Chevrolet Camaro Supercar liveries at the launch.
The team’s endurance line-up will also be confirmed, with co-drivers Lee Holdsworth and newly signed James Courtney attending the event. Supercheap Auto Racing wildcard driver Craig Lowndes is also set to be present to preview the year ahead.
New role, new responsibility
Team Owner Charlie Schwerkolt said the 2026 season represents a defining moment for the organisation as it takes on its expanded technical and leadership role within the Supercars Championship.
“2026 marks a huge step for Team 18 as we officially become the Chevrolet homologation partner team. It’s a massive honour and responsibility for our organisation, and something we’re incredibly proud to take on.”
Schwerkolt said the February launch would provide the first public signal of the team’s direction under its new responsibilities.
“The launch in February will be the first opportunity to show the direction we’re heading and to signal the start of an exciting new chapter for the team.”
“There’s no better place to reveal our 2026 colours than at our Mount Waverley headquarters, surrounded by our people, our partners and the cars that will take us into this next era.”
With continuity in the driving line-up, Schwerkolt said the team’s focus is firmly on translating preparation into results.
“With Anton and Dave back behind the wheel, and the ongoing support of our loyal partners, we’re determined to convert our efforts into results on track.”
“I can’t wait for everyone to see the cars on the tenth of February and to share what’s ahead for Team 18 in 2026.”
