TICKFORD RACING TAKES ON THE SANDOWN 500!

A podium for Waters, a strong finish for Randle and a retro livery highlight Sandown.

The 2026 Penrite Oil Sandown 500 delivered plenty of action as Tickford Racing's Cam Waters and Thomas Randle took to the track for the penultimate round of the Supercars Championship.

With valuable championship points on the line and a place in the Adelaide Grand Final up for grabs for Waters, the weekend brought a mix of strong performances, challenging moments and a special tribute to Tickford Racing's history.

WATERS SECURES SATURDAY PODIUM

Cam Waters made an impressive start to the weekend in the #6 Monster Energy Mustang, qualifying second for Saturday's opening race.

Starting from the front row, Waters remained competitive throughout the 79-lap race, battling against some of the championship's leading contenders.

A strong drive saw Waters cross the finish line in third place, securing a well-earned podium for Tickford Racing and keeping his championship hopes alive heading into Sunday.

Unfortunately, Sunday's racing proved more challenging. After qualifying 18th, Waters faced an uphill battle to work his way through the field. Despite the team's efforts, he finished 15th, bringing his championship title hopes to an end ahead of the Adelaide Grand Final.

While it wasn't the result Waters and the team had hoped for, Saturday's podium was a highlight of the weekend and demonstrated the pace and determination of the #6 Mustang.

RANDLE FINISHES STRONG IN RETRO-INSPIRED MUSTANG

Thomas Randle also experienced a weekend of mixed results behind the wheel of the #55 Castrol Mustang.

After qualifying seventh for Saturday's race, Randle faced a difficult opening day, eventually finishing 19th.

However, Sunday saw a strong turnaround, with Randle delivering an impressive performance to finish sixth, securing a top-ten result for Tickford Racing to close out the weekend.

A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO TICKFORD'S RACING HISTORY

It was fantastic to see Thomas Randle's #55 Castrol Mustang turn heads at Sandown, with its striking retro livery bringing a touch of nostalgia to the track.

The iconic green, red and white design certainly stood out across the weekend, paying tribute to the 2007 Ford Performance Racing Castrol Ford Falcon BF and celebrating a memorable chapter in Tickford Racing's history.

As a proud partner of Tickford Racing, it was great to see NARVA featured as part of this special tribute, with our branding repositioned to maintain the authenticity of the original 2007 design.

A great sight to see on track and a fantastic way to celebrate the team's racing heritage!

LOOKING AHEAD TO ADELAIDE

With Sandown now complete, Tickford Racing turns its attention to the bp Adelaide Grand Final, bringing the 2026 Supercars Championship to a close.

While Waters' championship campaign came to an end at Sandown, the weekend still delivered some memorable moments for the team, including a podium finish, a strong recovery drive from Randle and a celebration of the team's racing heritage.
