Tickford Autosport confirms Dalton exit

Tickford Racing has confirmed Lochie Dalton will depart the team at the end of 2025.

The rising star enjoyed a breakout Dunlop Super2 Series campaign in 2025, claiming multiple race wins, pole positions and podiums en route en route to second overall.

Tickford Autosport is set to have a new-look Super2 attack in 2026, with Dalton and Super2 champion Rylan Gray both departing.

Dalton and Gray made main game wildcard starts this year, and also combined to finish 13th in the Repco Bathurst 1000.

Dalton has been confirmed in a new-look Erebus Motorsport enduro line-up, partnering Cooper Murray. Gray, meanwhile, will rise to the main game with the Shell V-Power Racing Team.

"Lochie has been an incredible asset to the Tickford Autosport program over the past two seasons. The program has continually punched above its weight and the 2025 season delivered exactly that with the results we were able to achieve on track," Tickford Autosport Manager Dilan Talabani said.

"Lochie was an integral part of that with his achievements including the Pole Position award and finishing runner up in the championship. To be able to provide him the exposure to supercars racing with his wildcard entries at Perth, The Bend and Bathurst was a fantastic execution of what we aim to do with the Autosport program.

"We are here to develop drivers and give them the chance to prove themselves on the grid at some of the biggest Supercars races on the calendar. We are very happy with the efforts of Lochie over the season in the wildcard seat, especially with the difficult conditions experienced at Bathurst.

"Everyone involved with the Tickford Autosport Program wishes Lochie and his family all the best for the future and with his enduro co-drive in 2026."
