Additionally, the team would run Team 18's Colorado for Thomas Gasperak & Justin Ruggier as well as the Ranger Racing team utes for Christopher Formosa & Richard Mork. Alexander would win 4 races in his Australian racing debut, finishing 5th in the championship.[1]

RSR would retain Alexander for 2019, entering him in a new Isuzu D-Max. Alexander would improve on his 2018 season by winning 5 races and taking 9 other podiums to win the championship by 67 points from Cameron Crick.[2]

At the 6th round, the Highlands 101, the team would qualify 6th for the feature race before failing to start due to a power steering issue. Andrew & George would be non-classified in the championship.
