De Pasquale raced for the team last year when he put the car onto grid position three before it ended in the gravel with fuel pressure issues.
Despite the disappointment of last year’s result, Soole believes the presence of De Pasquale will be enough to fight for victory.
“Anton is first-class, he’s a superstar and one of the best young drivers in the country so it was a no-brainer to ask him back,” Soole said.
“He did a great job to qualify third last year and though the race didn’t go to plan he was still really impressive. It showed that if things go our way, we have the speed to be a contender.
“It’s always great to get back to Bathurst and compete in this race and I’m really looking forward to teaming up with Anton and Adam again this year.”
In addition to chasing a Bathurst 6 Hour trophy, Soole will be racing for charity in support of Destiny Rescue.
Destiny Rescue is a charitable organisation working to free children from sex trafficking and exploitation around the world with 250 volunteers helping free more than 11,000.
“Destiny Rescue is a charity that I am very passionate about and would love to use my platform in racing to get their story out,” Soole explained.
“These guys are amazing. They are working to help free the over 1 million kids that are currently being sex trafficked around the world. Kids between the ages of 5 – 14 are being held and sold for sex.
“It sounds unbelievable and it is – it’s awful. I really want to help get their story out and if I can use my racing to raise awareness for this important cause then that can only be a good thing.”
The 2023 Bathurst 6 Hour will be held from April 7-9.
