Loyalty, ambition, faith: How bumper deals stack up for stars

Broc Feeney and Cam Waters can lay claim to ultimate loyalty, with both drivers approaching a decade with the same team for their entire full-time Supercars careers.

This year, Waters and Feeney have both signed multi-year extensions to remain with Tickford Racing and Triple Eight Race Engineering in the future.

Waters' new deal, to the end of 2027, will take the Ford star into a 12th consecutive season with Tickford, having made his full-time debut with the Campbellfield squad back in 2016.

Feeney will remain with Triple Eight until at least the end of 2029, which will be his eighth season in Red Bull Ampol colours, the same length of Shane van Gisbergen's time with the team.

Both Waters and Feeney's history with their respective teams dates back past their full-time Supercars careers, with both being crowned Super2 champions at Tickford and Triple Eight.

Waters joined Tickford's (then Ford Performance Racing) Super2 program in 2014, and won the title the following year, whilst Feeney joined Triple Eight in 2021 and won his Super2 crown the same year.

Waters' decade with Tickford is by far the longest active driver-team partnership on the grid, followed by Macauley Jones, who has raced out of Brad Jones Racing since 2019. Jones raced a Blanchard-run Commodore out of the BJR stable in 2019 and 2020.

Behind them is Chaz Mostert, who joined Walkinshaw Andretti United in 2020 from Tickford. Mostert raced for Tickford for six seasons between 2014 and 2019, with his current WAU deal taking him into a seventh season with the Toyota-bound team.

Waters' teammate Thomas Randle debuted full-time in 2022, and will also remain with Tickford until 2027. Reigning champion Will Brown also re-signed until 2029, taking him to six seasons with Triple Eight.

Then, there's Will Davison, whose second stint with Dick Johnson Racing will extend into a sixth season in 2026.

Long partnerships are nothing new in Supercars, but it's a sign Waters and Feeney are committed to reaching their ultimate goals with their respective teams.

Notably, Craig Lowndes' 20-year association with Triple Eight will conclude this year, ending a partnership that delivered six Bathurst wins and nearly 50 race victories.

Jamie Whincup contested full seasons with Garry Rogers Motorsport and Tasman Motorsport, but his loyalty to Triple Eight across the next 20 years netted seven titles, four Bathursts and over 120 wins.

Patience also paid dividends for the likes of Mark Skaife and Mark Winterbottom, who completed decade-long stints with Holden Racing Team and Tickford Racing respectively, netting championships and Bathurst wins.
