Team 18 vows to regroup after late-race heartbreak at Bathurst

Team 18 says it will regroup after a late-race heartbreak at the Bathurst 1000. Anton De Pasquale was leading when he ran out of fuel on the final lap, ending the team’s bid for a strong result. During the last pit stop, Team 18 briefly “short-filled” to protect track position, aiming to preserve their advantage. But the strategy misfired: the fuel calculation was off, forcing the disappointing conclusion despite being in control late in the race. The team now plans to debrief, learn from the error, and come back stronger for the next round.
