Large Chevrolet Racing signs have been added to the walls of the Mount Waverley facility where its Anton De Pasquale and David Reynolds-driven Camaros are prepared.<\/p>\n

The Charlie Schwerkolt-owned squad was selected by GM in April to takeover homologation duties<\/a> from Triple Eight following news of the Brisbane team\u2019s impending switch to Ford.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely proud to be flying the Chevrolet Racing flag at Team 18,\u201d said team principal Adrian Burgess, whose history with Supercars was pinpointed as a factor in the GM decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new signage going up is a reminder of how far we\u2019ve come and the level of trust Chevrolet has placed in us.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a huge responsibility and one we\u2019re honoured to take on together with all of the Chevrolet teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Team 18 has bolstered its staff with a pair of ex-Supercars engineers<\/a> as part of the transition to HT duties.<\/p>\n

Other GM moves have included poaching Triple Eight technical director Jeromy Moore<\/a> to a new role with the company, which will include overseeing the Supercars program.<\/p>\n

GM wants its teams to share information as part of a \u2018Chevy Alliance\u2019 from next season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the signs have just gone up, there\u2019s been an incredible amount of effort that\u2019s been happening behind closed doors already to get started on this program,\u201d Burgess added.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone in our team has really stepped up to the plate along with a couple of new recruits who have hit the ground running.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been keeping our head down behind the scenes and looking forward to getting back on track with Dave and Anton at Queensland Raceway this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several Team 18 representatives are expected to head to the US later this month<\/a> for a fact-finding mission at GM Racing\u2019s technical centre in North Carolina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chevrolet Racing signage was installed this week.
