Team 18 confirms De Pasquale on multi-year deal

Team 18 has announced the signing of Anton De Pasquale, who will drive for the team from 2025 onwards on a multi-year deal.

De Pasquale will reunite with former teammate David Reynolds at Team 18, the pair running alongside one another at Erebus Motorsport between 2018 and 2020.

De Pasquale will replace Mark Winterbottom, who confirmed his exit from Team 18 earlier in the day. The place De Pasquale vacates at Dick Johnson Racing looks set to be filled by Brodie Kostecki.

“I’m super pumped to be joining Team 18 in 2025,” said De Pasquale.

“It’s a really exciting next step for me in my career and I’m looking forward to progressing with Charlie, Adrian and the team and being apart of what they’re building for the future.

“Looking forward to chasing that common goal and getting stuck into it next year!”

Team owner Charlie Schwerkolt added: “It’s exciting to have Anton De Pasquale join the team next year.

“Anton’s a clear standout in the next generation of drivers coming through the sport. He’s a proven winner and has what it takes to be a future champion of the sport.

“It’s great to have Dave and Anton back together and it’s an exciting driver lineup to take us through our next growth phase.

“I’d like to thank Mark for his contribution to the team. We have shared some great successes together, including our first pole position and race win, and have enjoyed every step of the journey together along the way.”
