Team 18 Camaro gets Chevrolet Racing touch for 2026

Team 18 have unveiled the first livery of their new era as General Motors' homologation team, pulling the covers off Anton De Pasquale's DEWALT Racing Camaro.

Parent company Stanley Black & Decker return on a long term deal with Team 18, following what was their best season to date with fifth in the teams championship.

DEWALT will make way for Cub Cadet in select rounds later in the season as was the case last year.

De Pasquale also impressed on his way to eighth in the drivers championship, picking up three podiums on his way to the best result recorded by a Team 18 driver.

Notably, Team 18 have picked up backing from Coca-Cola this year, whilst the Peter Hughes-designed livery also features a fade to black on the rear quarters, featuring Chevrolet's bow tie logo.

“The DEWALT Chevy looks strong again this year. The yellow is instantly recognisable and the Chevrolet fade is a nice addition that ties in with where the team is heading in 2026," said De Pasquale, who finished eighth in 2025.

"It’s a clean, aggressive look and I think it really suits the Camaro and the direction of Team 18.

“Last season was a really important step forward for us. Finishing eighth in the championship, scoring a few podiums and making the Finals showed what we’re capable of when everything comes together.

"We took a lot of confidence out of that and the focus now is on building on it, being more consistent and pushing ourselves even further this year.”

Along with the livery reveal came confirmation of De Pasquale's co-driver for the upcoming Ryco Enduro Cup, with Lee Holdsworth set to shift from the #20 to the #18 entry for 2026.

It marks a return to the #18 for the 2021 Bathurst winner, who drove the same entry full-time between 2015 and 2018.

De Pasquale said of Holdsworth: “I’m really looking forward to teaming up with Lee this year. He brings a huge amount of experience and what he did with the team last season at Bathurst speaks for itself.

"He knows how to get the job done and already has a great understanding of how the team operates, and I think we’ll work really well together.”

Holdsworth added: “I’m always excited about another year of enduros. Dave and I had a really good run last year with the team, and now I’m looking forward to teaming up with Anton this year in the DEWALT Chevrolet Camaro, it’s exciting and I can’t wait to get back in the car in a couple of weeks and turn a few laps.

“Anton and I get on really well, and I think we’re going to have a strong driving combination. With JC and Reynolds on the other side of the garage as well, it’s shaping up to be a fun year."
