Walkinshaw Andretti United (WAU) is delighted to announce the return of Jayden Ojeda to the team, alongside Fabian Coulthard as the Teams’ 2025 co-drivers.
Both will compete in 2025 Supercars Enduro Championship at The Bend and the Bathurst 1000, with driver parings to be finalised before the endurance season commences.
Coulthard returns to the team for his fourth season in the role, which has included a second-place finish at the Bathurst 1000 in 2021. With over 400 race starts and 13-race wins, he provides a fantastic mix of speed and experience to the team once again.
Ojeda first joined the WAU stable in 2022, where he made his Supercars main-game debut in two wildcard entries at the Winton and Darwin rounds. Since then, he’s had two endurance campaigns with Matt Stone Racing and Erebus, as well as competing in a raft of international GT events such as the Bathurst 12-hour, Indianapolis 8-hour and the Asian Lemans Series. In 2025, those international marquee events will continue in a factory-backed programme.
Both drivers will be behind the wheel at the Teams upcoming ride day at Sydney Motorsport Park, following Round 1 of the 2025 Supercars Championship.
Fabian Coulthard
“It’s really exciting to be back with everyone here at Walkinshaw Andretti United, it’s a great team with great group of guys and girls, and I think 2025 is going to be a big year for everyone involved on both sides of the garage.
“To have a recognised endurance season once again is cool, so I’m glad to see that back in play, but hopefully we will have two cars in the hunt for The Finals as well, so it will be really interesting to see that all play out.
“Looking forward to being back around the team this weekend and jumping in for some laps on Monday to kick the year off.”
Jayden Ojeda
“It’s awesome to be back in the WAU family for 2025, and back on the grid for Enduro Season once again. It’s an exciting year for everyone here so I’m really looking forward to it.
“The team were awesome in 2022, they made me feel at home and comfortable and we had a strong couple of rounds, so it’s cool to be back within the four walls. There’s a lot of familiar faces obviously, but I’m really keen to spend as much time as possible with the team and get back comfortable as quickly as possible.”
Bruce Stewart - Walkinshaw Andretti United CEO
“It’s exciting to be able to announce our endurance line up for 2025, it’s great to have Fabian back once again, and Jayden returning to the Team.
“Fabian did a fantastic job at both events last year, and his experience is great to have around the garage, and for Jayden, he more than impressed us all with his two races with us in 2022, so it’s really pleasing to have him back in our team, he’s a young guy with great speed and composure which is essential.
“When Enduro Season rolls around, we know the job both of these guys are going to do, and we can’t wait to see them out there.
“Of-course it would be remiss of us not to mention Lee Holdsworth as well. He’s been an integral part of our team and an even better guy to have around. He will always hold a special place in this Teams history as a Bathurst 1000 winner, and we wish him all the best in his next chapter.”
