The Latest Breaking News from Tickford

Tickford announced earlier today that, as long rumoured, it will scale back from four to two cars next season.

The famous Ford squad has long been expected to sell two of its Teams Racing Charters back to Supercars as part of the category's wish to reduce the field from 25 to 24 cars.

As revealed by Motorsport.com earlier today, Reynolds and Grove Racing have both become somewhat unexpected silly season players.

One one pairing will carry over from last year, with James Moffat joining Cam Waters in the Monster Mustang for a third straight enduro campaign.

Waters has been one of two key figures in what is proving to be a fascinating Supercars silly season, the other being NASCAR-bound Shane van Gisbergen.

Rumours that the team will scale back from four to two cars next year have been rampant in the Townsville paddock across the weekend.

The Tickford driver ran second-last in the Shootout, navigating tricky conditions to bank a 1m14.418s on his single-lap effort.

The 11 Mustangs in the field all rolled out with a new rear aero package in practice today off the back of a post-Darwin parity review.

The Gen3 Camaro continued its dominant run at Hidden Valley, the GM product having been first across the line in all 15 races so far this season - although Tickford Mustang driver Cam Waters inherited victory in the Newcastle season opener when both Triple Eight Camaros were disqualified.
