New Zealand endurance driving world champion Earl Bamber will race as a co-driver in the 2018 V8 Supercars championship.

Bamber has signed with Red Bull Holden Racing Team for the championship's three endurance rounds.

It caps a year in which Bamber joined compatriot Brendon Hartley and German Timo Bernhard to snare the World Endurance Championship crown for Porsche.

He will race alongside Kiwi Shane van Gisbergen in the rounds at Sandown, Bathurst and Surfers Paradise which fall in September and October.

Bamber, 27, has twice won his class in three starts at the Bathurst 12 Hours at Mount Panorama.
