Supercars veteran partners tyre giant again

JAX Tyres & Auto has confirmed the renewal of its partnership with Supercars veteran David Reynolds and Team 18 for the 2026 Repco Supercars Championship, marking the eighth year of supporting Reynolds and the third year sponsoring Team 18. The team unveiled the new-look Chevrolet Camaro featuring JAX Tyres & Auto branding for the upcoming season.

The continued partnership reinforces the brand’s alignment with high performance and precision at the highest level of Australian motorsport.

JAX Tyres & Auto’s sponsorship of Reynolds and Team 18 extends beyond motorsport through initiatives such as the Pink Helmet program. Unveiled during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the hand-painted helmet is worn by Reynolds and auctioned after the Gold Coast 500, with 100 per cent of proceeds donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF).

“Sponsoring David Reynolds and Team 18 is a natural fit for JAX. Supercars is built on precision, performance and teamwork, and these same values underpin our Peace of Mind Driving Promise to customers every day,” CEO and Managing Director of JAX Tyres & Auto, Steve Grossrieder, said.

“Having the JAX brand featured on the pit crew’s helmets at every race gives us a powerful and authentic presence trackside, while reinforcing our long-standing connection to automotive excellence. We’re proud to support Team 18 and look forward to showcasing our brand to fans nationwide throughout the season.”

Reynolds said re-signing with JAX Tyres & Auto was a no brainer.

“The team at JAX Tyres & Auto has been incredible to work with, especially in backing initiatives like the pink helmet campaign that genuinely make a difference,” he said.

“To be able to race hard, while also supporting causes that matter, is something I’m really proud of. I can’t wait for fans to see the new car, and I’m excited about what we can achieve together in 2026.”

The 2026 Repco Supercars Championship will kick off at Sydney Motorsport Park, February 20–22.
