DESIGN guru Scott Campbell will step up to oversee Team 18\u2019s first Supercars wildcard program revolving around drivers Bayley Hall<\/a> and Craig Lowndes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Campbell has been around the scene for more than a decade, previously working for Garry Rogers<\/a> Motorsport and Supercars itself before joining Team 18 last year.<\/p>\n

Beyond Campbell as team principal, others in key roles on the Supercheap Auto Camaro include team manager Dennis Huijser \u2013 who only recently parted ways with the Blanchard Racing Team<\/a> \u2013 and race engineer Richard Hollway.<\/p>\n

The #15 Chevrolet will partake in each of the next three rounds, with Hall to debut in a solo capacity at the Ipswich Super440 before pairing up with Lowndes for The Bend 500 and Bathurst 1000.<\/p>\n

The car visited The Bend yesterday for an all-important test.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a productive first day and the first time we\u2019ve all worked together as a group,\u201d said former Triple Eight legend Lowndes.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone found their position within the team, and the connection and synergy across the crew worked extremely well.<\/p>\n

\u201cBayley did a great job. We had a few electrical issues with the car that the team worked through during the day, so he didn\u2019t get all the running we had planned. Despite that, his first run on a brand-new set of Dunlop tyres at the end of the day was impressive.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe came to grips with the car and understood what he needed from it very quickly, which is a great sign leading into Queensland Raceway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall, who has also been the standout rookie in Super2, said: \u201cIt was great to finally get behind the wheel of the Supercheap Auto Racing Chevrolet Camaro.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe (Bend\u2019s) West Circuit is very different, but it was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a few electrical issues that interrupted our running, but the team worked hard to resolve them and we still achieved some important things.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce we fitted new tyres at the end of the day, I was able to get a proper feel for the car and gain a better understanding of what it needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we turn our attention to Queensland Raceway and my solo wildcard entry. I\u2019m finally going to make my Supercars main game debut, so I\u2019m really keen to get there, push hard and see what we can achieve before we look ahead to the Enduro Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n
