WAU names Ojeda in 2025 Enduro Cup line-up

Jayden Ojeda has been named in Walkinshaw Andretti United's 2025 Enduro Cup line-up, joining incumbent Fabian Coulthard for the year's longest races.

Ojeda returns to WAU, three years after making his Supercars debut with the team in a series of wildcard starts throughout the 2022 championship season. The Sydneysider replaces 2021 Bathurst winner Lee Holdsworth, who last week was confirmed at Team 18.

Two-time Bathurst 1000 podium-finisher Coulthard and Ojeda will compete in 2025 Enduro Cup at The Bend and the Bathurst 1000, with driver parings to be finalised in due course.

Coulthard returns to WAU for a fourth season, finishing second alongside Chaz Mostert in 2022. The Kiwi raced with Nick Percat in 2023 as Holdsworth returned, before partnering Ryan Wood last season.

Ojeda made his Bathurst debut with Matt Stone Racing in 2022, finishing ninth with Jack Le Brocq in 2023 before following the driver to Erebus Motorsport, finishing eighth last season.

Both drivers will get behind the wheel at WAU's upcoming ride day at Sydney Motorsport Park, following Round 1 of the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship in Sydney.

“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," Coulthard said.

“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.”

Ojeda, who was recently named a factory Mercedes-AMG GT driver for 2025, added: “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.”

WAU CEO Bruce Stewart CEO said: “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 team's history as a Bathurst 1000 winner, and we wish him all the best in his next chapter."
