Tickford confirmed Monday that Castrol Australia and New Zealand has inked a multi-year deal that will see the brand continue as a naming rights partner of Tickford Racing into 2025 and beyond.

Randle finished a career-best fifth in 2024, claiming poles and podiums, and helping Tickford to second in the teams' championship, its best finish since 2015.

Courtesy of the deal, the 2020 Super2 champion is set to return to the track in 2025 with Castrol's iconic green, red and white colours.

“It is really exciting that Castrol will continue as a major partner of Tickford Racing in 2025 and beyond,” Randle said.

“This is a partnership that stretches back to 2003, and for me, I’m proud to have represented Castrol since I first joined the Supercars Championship.

“We enjoyed some strong results in 2024. We can’t wait for 2025 to roll around, and to be doing it again with Castrol is already a dream result.”

Simon Brookhouse, Tickford Racing CEO, added: “We’re proud to extend our partnership with Castrol, a brand that’s been integral to Tickford Racing for so many seasons.

"Their ongoing support has played a key role in our success, and we’re excited to continue building on that foundation into 2025 and beyond.”
