Sika Australia is proud to sponsor Team 18 in the Repco Supercars Championship for the 2026 season. Precision, durability and reliability are key components that we share with Team 18 founded by owner Charlie Schwerkolt.
A partnership based on same values
This partnership goes beyond a logo and is rooted in shared values such as precision, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
“Team 18 is a natural fit for Sika’s high-performance solutions and culture. Precision, collaboration, and continuous improvement drive both teams every day.”

What is Repco Supercars (V8 Supercars)?
The Repco Supercars Championship is Australasia’s premier motorsport category and one of Australia’s biggest sports. It’s recognised globally as a leading touring car category.
As a leader in motorsport entertainment, it has a passionate fanbase and major national reach and is supported by many well-known brand sponsors across the season.
It’s a high-visibility stage - and a true proving ground for performance.
Why Supercars aligns with Sika's high performance products?
Every component in a V8 Supercar is expected to hold up under load, pressure, heat and time. Tradies bring the same expectations to Sika every day - on sites where product failure isn't an option:
Durability - products that perform over the long term
For Tradies, that means fewer callbacks, less rework, and work that holds up years after handover. Sika backs this up with products tested to Australian Standards and a project track record spanning decades across infrastructure, commercial and residential builds.
Reliability - consistent results, job after job
Tradies need to know what they're getting from every pail, bag and cartridge. Sika's global manufacturing and batch- testing protocols mean the product that worked last week performs the same way today - no surprises on site.
Precision - engineered systems and trusted technical support
When the spec is tight, guesswork costs money. Sika's Technical Services team, detailed datasheets and application guides give trades the right product for the right job - with real support on the phone when a detail needs sorting on site.
Continuous improvement - innovation that keeps raising the standard
Materials, methods and compliance standards keep evolving. Sika's R&D investment means trades get access to the next generation of sealants, adhesives and repair systems early - staying ahead of both the job and the regulations.
The season is underway
Throughout the season, we’ll be sharing updates from the track, behind-the-scenes moments, and opportunities to engage with the Team 18 partnership. For the latest, follow along on our website and social media channels.
But this partnership isn't really about racing. It's about what happens when durability, reliability, precision and continuous improvement are non-negotiable - on the grid, and on every Australian site. Team 18 proves it lap after lap. Trades prove it job after job, with Sika in the toolbox.
This is only the beginning and whether the proving ground is Mount Panorama or a build site across Australia, the standard is the same. We can’t wait to see what high performance delivers next.
