Tickford Racing has confirmed Cam Waters and Thomas Randle will continue to spearhead the Ford squad’s Repco Supercars Championship attack until the end of 2027.
Waters has emerged as Ford’s leading title contender and Randle is growing into one of the sport’s leading rising stars.
Each have signed two year extensions, while a further year option is on both deals.
The re-signing of Waters comes after General Motors is said to have made a significant play at the star driver as it rushes to replace reigning champion Will Brown and Broc Feeney following Triple Eight Race Engineering’s defection to Ford for next year.
Tickford Racing CEO Simon Brookhouse highlighted the importance of a stable, high-level driver line-up.
“This is a massive moment for Tickford,” said CEO Simon Brookhouse.
“Locking in Cam and Thomas for the next two seasons gives us consistency, leadership, and talent behind the wheel.
“Both drivers are integral to our performance strategy, and their commitment reinforces the direction we’re heading as a team.
“To keep this formidable driving combination together for the next two years places our team in a position of strength to have a two-fold attack at winning both the drivers’ and teams’ championships.”
Waters is a long-time driver for the team after winning the Super2 Series with Tickford in 2015 and being elevated to the Repco Supercars Championship the next season wants to convert this relationship into title success.
“Tickford has been home for a long time, and I’m stoked to lock in the next phase of my career,” he said.
“We’ve got unfinished business and I’m ready to keep pushing for wins and the championship.
“I’ve got an amazing team around me and to be working with them and Tom for another two seasons will be great, we’ve got a strong dynamic and I’m looking forward to the next few years.”
Randle is targeting his first Supercars race victory and wants to build on his steady improvement in recent seasons.
“I am super excited to be announcing today that I am re-signing with Tickford for 2026 and 2027,” he said.
“Tickford is where I got my start not only in Super2 but also in the Supercars Championship. We have done some pretty cool things in the last few years, had some great results together and I can’t wait to continue this journey with Cam alongside me as well.
“We’ve known each other for such a long time and had some pretty cool moments on and off the track together, I am looking forward to seeing what’s in store for the both of us in the future with Tickford Racing.”
