Tickford marks Waters milestone with mid-round switch

Tickford Racing has marked Cam Waters’ 300th Supercars race start with a mid-round number change.

To mark the milestone, Tickford has changed out the #6 for the #300, with Waters to record his 300th start on Sunday at Queensland Raceway.

In 299 races, Waters has recorded 18 wins and 32 pole positions, and currently sits fourth overall.

Waters has been in the Tickford family for over a decade, winning the 2015 Super2 title in a Falcon before graduating to the main game in 2016.

"I feel very fortunate to be bringing up my 300th race start this weekend. I love racing no matter if it’s on dirt or bitumen, but to have raced for this long in Supercars is very special,” Waters said.

"It is very cool seeing the number 300 go on the car for the Sunday race to mark the milestone. The support that Tickford, sponsors, friends and family have played in my career has been huge in getting me to this point today.

"I am super pumped to keep pushing for years to come and work on bringing more success to Tickford Racing.”

Tickford Racing Managing Director Rod Nash added: "Cam’s record speaks for itself when you look back over his amazing career in Supercars.

"At Tickford, we have been amazed with how Cam continues to develop that competitive edge he brings every round.

"He has really grown in his time at Tickford into a top talent that features on today’s grid and has delivered fantastic results for the organisation.

"We look forward to continuing the support for Cam and pushing forward as a team to deliver the best results.

"Cam is a great sportsman and really gives back what he has been given to date and it’s a pleasure for the team to continue to work hard with him to make him the champion he deserves to be."
