Super2 rookie's first Tickford livery revealed

Tickford Racing has revealed the 2023 livery for incoming driver Brad Vaughan.

The team unveiled the South Australian driver’s new colours on Tuesday morning.

Vaughan, 18, will carry backing from Dormer HVAC Services on his #5 Ford Mustang.

Dormer HVAC Services is an air conditioning and mechanical ventilation company which provides service to the coastal regions of Sydney.

The #5 Ford is also supported by Sedan Hotel, Angaston Motors, Castrol, DRR, Dutts Cutts & Scapes, Evolution Crash Repairs, Hill Excavations, James Rosenberg Racing, Misch’s Excel Garage, Mowers Plus, The Print Market, and Yardstick.

Vaughan won five races en route to the 2022 Super3 title, which was in his first season in Supercar machinery.

The teenager will race the Mustang James Courtney campaigned in the 2022 Repco Supercars Championship.

Mustangs and Holden ZB Commodores are now eligible for the Dunlop Super2 Series.

He will be partnered by fellow Tickford newcomer Elly Morrow, whose livery will be released in coming days.

"I’m so excited to unveil the colours on our No. 5 Ford Mustang for the start of my Dunlop Super2 Series career,” Vaughan said.

“The car looks incredible and I’m extremely happy to have Dormer HVAC Services on board as the naming rights partner on my car for my Super2 debut.

"I’ve been fortunate to have a heap of supporters willing to be part of the journey of my first year in Super2 which is fantastic, and makes me even more excited for the year ahead.

"It’s going to be a massive year and I have a lot to learn, but I’m really looking forward to getting after it and seeing how we go.

"Now that the livery’s out and the car’s ready I just can’t wait to get behind the wheel and get the season going."

Vaughan and Morrow will test their Mustangs in early February at Winton Motor Raceway prior to the season opener in Newcastle.
