JAX Tyres & Auto has confirmed the renewal of its partnership with Supercars champion 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 today 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).

Steve Grossrieder, CEO and Managing Director of JAX Tyres & Auto, says “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. 

“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.”

Charlie Schwerkolt, Team 18 Owner, says “At this level of racing, the difference is made in the details. JAX Tyres & Auto’s commitment to precision and attention to detail mirrors the standards our pit crew lives by every race weekend. The 2026 season marks an important step forward for Team 18, and with David behind the wheel, we’re focused on building on recent success and raising the bar both on and off the track.” 

David Reynolds says “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. 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, promising another exciting season of high-speed action.
