Team 18 takes over as new homologation team for GM

Team 18 has been confirmed as the new homologation team for General Motors in the Supercars Championship following Triple Eight Race Engineering’s move to Ford.

“Today marks an exciting new chapter for Team 18 Racing. There is no doubt that these are big shoes to fill, but I believe we have the team, the machinery, and the talent to do it,” said team owner Charlie Schwerkolt.

“GM and Chevrolet Racing are a powerhouse for a reason, and everyone, at every level, has been fantastic in welcoming our team to the fold.”

Team 18 has fielded cars from GM since 2015 and is currently running two Camaros in the championship.

“Our motorsport activities around the world are driven by three things; our passionate customers and fans, our cutting-edge technical innovation, and our incredible people,” said Eric Warren, executive director of Global Motorsports Competition.

“Whether it’s Supercars, or any other race series that Chevrolet competes in across the globe, we are there to win, and we’re looking forward to working with Team 18 and all the Chevy Camaro teams in any way we can, to achieve that goal.”
