Tickford reveals 2025 warpaint
Castrol and Tickford Racing have used the backdrop of Mount Panorama to reveal the look that Thomas Randle will take into the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship
Randle enters his fourth season as a full-time Supercars driver this year, and for the fourth consecutive season, will race the #55 Castrol Racing Ford Mustang.
The 28-year-old Victorian comes into the new season off the back of his best-ever championship result in 2024 where he finished fifth and claimed his second career pole position.
Randle will race alongside the second Tickford Mustang of Cameron Waters who also continues as part of Team Castrol in 2025. The look of Waters #6 Mustang will be revealed on February 14.
Fans got an early opportunity to see the Castrol Racing Mustang on track at the world famous Mount Panorama where the team was part of a Supercars-run category testing sessions across the Bathurst 12 Hour weekend.
The bold stance of the red, green and white look is an evolution of the 2024 design, in line with Castrol’s new refreshed brand identity that launched Globally in 2023.
For the first time in 2025, the Repco Supercars Championship will see a finals system come into effect after the Bathurst 1000 in October. When the championship arrives for the final round at the Adelaide 500 in November, only four drivers will be in contention for the crown.
The opening round of the Repco Supercars Championship will be held at Sydney Motorsport Park on February 21-23.
Brand and Product Manager, Castrol, Jan Willink, said he is excited for the season ahead.
“Castrol is thrilled to continue its journey with Tom, Cam and the entire Tickford team into 2025 and beyond and we couldn’t be more excited about the year ahead,” said Willink.
“With 2024 seeing both Tom and Cam finish the Championship in the top five – and second in the team’s championship – we’re confident Castrol and Tickford can unlock an even higher level of performance this year.
“The #55 Castrol Racing Mustang looks phenomenal and the new livery brings a real edge to the car. It’s definitely one of the cleanest looking cars on the Supercars grid.”
Randle said he can’t wait for the season to start.
“It’s great to launch the 2025 Castrol Racing livery here at Mount Panorama,” said Randle.
“The car looks awesome, and for me, it’s another step up from last year. I’m really excited to get it out on track and hit the ground running for the first round at Sydney Motorsport Park.
“We had a really strong round in Sydney last year, taking a podium and had a Tickford front row lockout so we are keen to be racing there again under lights.
“Mount Panorama is Australia’s most iconic track and given Castrol’s history of success at Bathurst, it’s the perfect place to launch the Castrol Racing campaign for 2025.”
