The Bottle-O Racing Team and Supercheap Auto Racing

Established in December 2002 after UK giant Prodrive bought Glenn Seton Racing, this four-Ford squad becomes known as Tickford Racing in 2018.

The team won back-to-back Bathurst 1000s under the Ford Performance Racing banner and then its maiden drivers’ title with Mark Winterbottom in 2015 as Prodrive Racing Australia.

Winterbottom enters the new season looking to bounce back from a tough two years since winning the championship that included a winless 2017 campaign.

Its 2014 Bathurst winner, Chaz Mostert won three races and was the team’s top finisher in the '17 championship in fifth place.

He also teamed up with Steve Owen to win the PIRTEK Enduro Cup.

Tickford Racing’s other two Falcons will be driven by Cameron Waters and Richie Stanaway.
