Castrol extends partnership with Tickford Racing in new multi-year deal
Castrol Australia and New Zealand is pleased to confirm an extension to its long-standing partnership with leading Supercars team Tickford Racing.
The multi-year deal will see Castrol continue as a naming rights partner of Tickford Racing into 2025 and beyond, extending one of the longest running sponsorships in the Supercars Championship.
Castrol was one of the first partners of Tickford Racing in its original FPR (Ford Performance Racing) guise in 2003. The partnership has remained unbroken since, meaning that the team’s 2025 season will mark their 23rd year together.
Castrol will continue to be the primary backer of Thomas Randle’s #55 Castrol Racing Mustang next year in what will be Randle’s fourth year as a primary driver with Tickford Racing.
The 2024 Supercars Championship has been the coming of age of Randle, achieving a career-best fifth in the Championship. His season has included a number of firsts, including his maiden pole position (Symmons Plains) and podium finishes in back-to-back events to close out the season.
Castrol will also remain present as a major partner on the #6 Monster Energy Mustang piloted by Cam Waters, as he and Tickford Racing chase for Championship glory.
The 2025 Repco Supercars Championship gets underway under lights at Sydney Motorsport Park from the 21st – 23rd February 2025.
