WATERS AND RANDLE TICKFORD’S CHARGERS CAMERON WATERS and Thomas Randle will spearhead Tickford into a new era in 2024, with the retentions becoming official. Next year the leading Ford team will enter a new chapter, downscaling to two cars for the first time since 2009 and will not go racing with Tim Edwards calling the shots since 2005. Leading the way behind the wheel as expected will be Waters and Randle, who have survived the squeeze over James Courtney and Declan Fraser. The reason why the team is downsixing to two cars is to refine its focus on a first championship in nine years, with one TRC to Blanchard Racing Team where Courtney will be racing, whilst the other has been retired to Supercars. The driver of the Monster Mustang has been racing at the team on a full-time basis since 2016, but made his debut a year earlier at Sandown as a co-driver before stepping in when Chaz Mostert was injured. Following the departures of Mark Winterbottom and Mostert from the team, Waters has established himself as the undoubted leader of the Ford powerhouse and one of the stars of the sport. He carries plenty of momentum after being victorious on the Saturday of each of the last two rounds at Gold Coast and Adelaide.
Waters will be looking to push the team from being an occasional winner to a championship contender again and is excited to race in a more refined two-car squad with Randle. “I’m super excited about where the team is heading,” he said. “Rod, Sven, and Tim have put a massive amount of work behind the scenes to allow us to make the next step forward. “The two-car model excites me, and I can’t think of a better person to be teaming up with than Thomas. “I can’t wait to sink my teeth into next year.” The expected news is a big vote of confidence in Randle, who has only two full-time seasons under his belt but enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in 2023. The Castrol driver succeeded in South Australia, scoring his first three full-time podiums at The Bend. Randle then returned to the pointy end when the sport was back in the state, sealing another third place in the VAILO Adelaide 500 opener. It is unclear whether or not he will switch to the famous #5 being left by Courtney having driven the #55 throughout his career. Randle hinted he will be staying at Tickford for multiple seasons and is looking forward to challenge of stepping up and chasing a championship.
“I’m thrilled to be announcing today that I have resigned with Tickford Racing to continue piloting the Castrol Racing Mustang full time in 2024 and beyond,” he said. “Castrol has been a long supporter of mine, so to continue this partnership into the future is fantastic. “It’s been a great first two years in the championship, especially this year, grabbing my first pole position and a trio of podiums (at The Bend). “Being more streamlined with two cars and hopefully with all the parity stuff sorted, I feel like this is the team’s best chance of having a crack at winning the driver’s title and teams’ championship. Bring it on!” Tickford owner Rod Nash believes Waters and Randle can lead them to plenty of success. “2024 is going to be a complete freshen up of the team as we reduce to 2xTRCs,” he said. “With Cam and Thomas leading our charge, we are laser-focused on elevating to the full potential of what our race team has been working on over the last couple of years. “Cam is a consistent front runner and Thomas has been advancing well towards his full potential, so with this change to the team and driver combination, we believe we can mix it with the best within our great category of Supercars.”
STANAWAY’S GROVE DEBUT CUT SHORT RICHIE STANAWAY did not get a single racing lap in his first drive for Grove Racing which came to an early end after a scary crash at the Gulf 12 Hours race at Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi. Stanaway was driving alongside team owners Brenton and Stephen Grove in the Intercontinental GT Challenge finale on Sunday night. The trio started 16th with a best time of 1:53.187 in their Porsche 911 GT3 R run alongside Earl Bamber Motorsport. Brenton started in the car before handing over to father Stephen and the squad were in a great position after the
opening hour and a half. They were sitting third on the road and first in Pro-Am until disaster struck.
Approaching the braking area of turn 1, the Porsche on cold tyres suddenly shot across the track and speared
straight into the inside barrier before coming to rest at the end of the run off area in front of the circuit’s tower. Stephen Grove was unharmed from the crash but the 911 was not, with the entire front end bodywork torn off on impact. Up front the fight for victory proved to be an arm wrestle between Mercedes and BMW. The Valentino Rossi lead Team WRT #46 M4 GT3 ultimately fell 12.8s short of victory as Luca Stolz, Michael Grenier and Maro Engel prevailed in the Team GruppeM Racing Mercedes AMG GT3.
THE BEND ANNOUNCES 2024 MAJOR EVENT CALENDAR
THE BEND Shell V-Power Motorsport Park has finalised its 2024 major events calendar which is topped by three National Drag Racing Championship rounds at the new drag strip. Over 300 days of on-track activity are slated for the SA motorsport park in 2024 with the Driver Experience Program set to expand in participation alongside visits from manufacturers such as Audi, Porsche, Ferrari, Toyota, Maserati and Mitsubishi throughout the year. Among the highlights will be an April and October visit from the National Top Fuel Championship at the newly opened Dragway at The Bend, bringing their 11,000+hp machinery, with the NDRC Nitro Funny Car Festival State Nationals also visiting there on January 13-14. On-top of those highlights there will be over 80 days of action at the Dragway made up of Off-Street Meetings, Track Championships, Test ‘N’ Tunes, Jamboree and more. The Top Speed promoter who is behind the newly revamped Australian F4 Championship is also bringing back its Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia round on June 7-9 which made its successful debut there this year. Though not listed on its major events calendar, The Bend will also host the first two rounds of the Aussie F4 on May 4-5, and June 8-9. The SpeedSeries will visit there for Round 4 on the May 31 – June 2, whilst the Australian SuperBikes will once again host its season finale there in November. The venue has expanded its annual Event Pass to include the major events at its new Dragway, offering fantastic value for race fans and event goers. The final day to order The 2024 Event Pass to arrive in time for Christmas is Tuesday, December 12. “2024 will mark our biggest year by far with the Dragway at The Bend set for its first full year of operation, alongside another full calendar on the Main Motor Racing Circuit,” CEO Alistair MacDonald said. “We look forward to continuing to be a destination circuit providing a world-class experience for local, interstate and international visitors in 2024.”
ARC CO-DRIVER SEARCY SOAKS UP FIA NIGHT OF NIGHTS AUSTRALIAN RALLY Championship co-driver Ben Searcy celebrated his FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship title by attending the prestigious FIA Prize Giving Ceremony in Baku. The West Australian flew to Baku, Azerbaijan to attend the event where the who’s of who of the motorsport world were on show including Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen. Searcy was not the only Aussie in attendance with McLaren rookie Oscar Piastri, Formula 4 UAE Champion winner James Wharton, and Motorsport Australia President Andrew Fraser. Piastri was one of the stars of the show, being named the FIA Rookie of the Year. Reflecting on the experience, Searcy said it was surreal seeing so many famous faces and cars. “It was a good opportunity to catch up with motorsport people from all around the world, and although I spent more than 48 hours travelling to be there for just 24 hours, it was definitely well worth it,” he told ARC. “I ended up sitting at a table right up the front, so it was epic to see
everything up close, including Max Verstappen’s title-winning F1 car, Kalle Rovanperä’s winning WRC car, a Formula E, and the World Endurance Championship – it was all very worth it. “It was great to have a chat with the likes of Oscar, Andreas Mikkelsen, Hayden Paddon, and Andrew Fraser. “This year has been the toughest year of my life, trying to fit in full-time work commitments and using annual leave for ARC, APRC, and the WA Rally Championship – it’s been really hard. “But to then be in the same room as the best of the best and celebrate a title was a really nice way to wrap up the year. “I am not usually one for presentations and dinners, but I am so glad I attended.” It capped off a special year for Searcy, who achieved title success in the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship with Indonesian driver Rifat Sungkar in the Škoda Fabia R5/Rally2 Evo. The pair found themselves in a threeway title fight that went down to the final stage with 8s the difference. In a dramatic finale, Sungkar and
Searcy were able to hold their nerve win by more than 10 minutes after their rivals were excluded. Looking back on the campaign, Searcy as full of pride. “I have done APRC for many years, and although it’s different now with just one shootout, it was still one of the toughest and hardest rallies I have been involved with,” Searcy added. “All weekend, there was a lot of chopping and changing in the standings as everyone tried to handle the tough, muddy, and slippery conditions – in fact, Rifat and I were changing tyres and setups between every stage, just to try and be prepared. “Then leading into the final stage, which was our bogey stage, the car owner told us to either win it or bin it, and although we ended up going off twice, luckily for us, a lot of other crews went off too. “It was nice to get my first-ever APRC win – a nice reward for a lot of hard work I put into the year. “I’ve done alright for someone who isn’t a full-time competitor, so I am quite proud and pleased with a good year.”

ADELAIDE S5000 – A MASSIVE MISSED OPPORTUNITY S5000’S RECENT VAILO Adelaide 500 finale was dealt a late blow by Motorsport Australia, with an internationally experienced racer, just 13 weeks under Australia’s S5000 age minimum, refused an exemption to race. But it wasn’t just any international driver. Having arranged for ex-F1 star Giancarlo Fisichella to guest star at the VAILO Adelaide 500 last year, S5000’s Chris Lambden had a double-act agreed that would have created obvious category and event interest. “Yes … Would you believe, 1972/74 World F1 champion Emerson Fittipaldi was coming, to take on an ambassadorial role for us and the event; along with son Emmerson Junior – ‘Emmo’ – who was going to race S5000,” confirms Lambden. Despite two full years racing in international F4 in Europe, and this year in European Formula 3 Regional (the FIA age minimum being 16), MA’s Australian Motor Sport Commission refused an exemption for Emmerson to race here (Australia’s age minimum for S5000 has been set at 17).
“While MA’s committee was being convened – we’d approached MA first-up – everything else was in place: travel, team, sponsorship, pre-event testing … even the car livery, which was to honour Emmerson’s 1974 McLaren championship winner. “Everyone involved felt it was a fairly straightforward and reasonable request, but it had to go to this AMSC Commission … “They said no, and went on about safety; power-toweight; FIA … If you don’t want to take any responsibility, it’s just easy to say no, isn’t it. “There have been perfectly competent S5000 debutants here with a fraction of Emmo’s experience – Cooper Webster came from Hyundai Excels! – yet this group could not accept a very competent and safe young driver with three years international single-seater experience … Yes, I questioned their decision! “And furthermore, there was no appeal – an MA Commission decision apparently cannot be questioned/ overturned. So much for natural justice.
“So yes, I was pretty frustrated and annoyed. I had to call an all-time F1 hero of mine and tell him that unfortunately, Australian motorsport couldn’t see its way to allowing his son to race. “It was all called off. Emerson himself was very ‘understanding’ … he’s dealt with motorsport bureaucracies along the way … But it did move me to write to new MA CEO Sunil Vohra suggesting that a review of make-up of some of their committees and processes might be timely …”
THE CURRENT AMSC IS MADE UP OF:
Ryan Story (Chair) – Partner, DJR Vince Ciccarello (Deputy Chair) – MA official Matt Braid – Former CEO, Supercars and ARG Andrew Jones – Former racer, Supercars team liaison, driver mentor and TV commentator Craig Fletcher – Former events manager, Australian F1 Grand Prix Bruce Williams

LOWNDES AND TICKFORD STARS TEAM UP FOR 12 HOUR CRAIG LOWNDES and Tickford stars Cameron Waters and Thomas Randle will take on the Bathurst 12 Hour together in an all-star Scott Taylor motorsport entry. Having previously run in Pro-Am, the well-known STM Mercedes AMG GT3 will take on the fight for outright honours in 2024 with the Supercars stars at the wheel and Ashley Seward Motorsport working behind the scenes. The seven-time Bathurst 1000 winner is excited to chase an outright win again. “It’s always exciting to go to Bathurst knowing you have a shot at outright victory and I think this year we have all the pieces of the puzzle to do that,” Lowndes said. “To come back for a third year with the STM team and knowing the enthusiasm Scotty (Taylor) has for us to have a crack at winning the race is fantastic. “Cam and Tom are at the top of their game and were both really impressive in the Supercars Championship this year. They have lots of Bathurst laps so I’ve got no doubt they’re going to be very quick.
“As a team we are a very well balanced driving line up so we’re all pretty excited to get there next February.” For the first time Lowndes will join forces with longtime rival Waters, who will name his third start at the 12 Hour. He paired with British team Strakka Racing in 2018 on his debut in the race, finishing 7th outright, before joining forces with Tony Bates’ team in 2022 – finishing 11th in an Audi R8. Waters is flying from two wins in as many Supercars rounds at Gold Coast and Adelaide and is looking forward to racing a the three-pointed star again. “I’ve raced the Bathurst 12 Hour a couple of times and it’s always been really enjoyable. It’s cool to partner with my Tickford Racing teammate Tom and with Lowndesy to have a crack at winning the race this year,” he said. “It didn’t take much time to say yes when they came to me and asked if I wanted to be involved. “Scotty always does things the right way so we know we’ll have the package to be competitive. “The race has come a long way since
I last drove a Mercedes there in 2018 but I know we’ll be up to speed quickly and I can’t wait for the challenge and for racing at Bathurst two weeks in a row next February.” Next February will be Randle’s first taste of the Bathurst 12 Hour, but he is no stranger to GT3 racing. The five-time Supercars podium finisher has raced a Bentley Continental GT3 in the Aussie Tin Tops category in 2020 while he also has open wheel experience in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Randle knows the 12 Hour will be different gravy and can’t wait for the challenge. “I’ve always wanted to compete at the Bathurst 12 Hour so to be able to do it with Cam and with Craig makes it an extra special way to make my debut,” he said. “I love driving GT3 cars, they’re an awesome race car and I can’t wait to drive it around Mount Panorama. “The 12 Hour has become such a must-win race in the world of Endurance racing so to be going there with a realistic shot of a good result is pretty exciting.”
WALLS TO TAKE ON PORSCHE CARRERA CUP MIDDLE EAST AFTER FINISHING a close second in Australia, Jackson Walls is turning his attention to the upcoming Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East. Walls will team up with powerhouse Lechner Racing to make his debut in the six-round championship that has just begun. The series started at Bahrain in November where Theo Overhauls and Robert De Haan took the wins. Walls will join the field at this weekend’s second round also at Sakhir International Circuit. The Aussie will continue driving the Objective Racing supported Porsche 992 GT3 Cup car for the remainder of the season which travels to Dubai and Abu Dhabi before a high-profile finish to the year.The final two rounds will be in the Formula 1 spotlight at the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix. Walls arrives after a successful 2023 Carrera Cup Australia campaign where he came a close second to Callum Hedge with one win at Albert Park and 10 podium finishes. Now with the opportunity to race on the global stage, Walls is ready to take it with both hands. “It’s a cool opportunity that has come along,” Walls said. “I’m excited and can’t wait to get started with everyone and meet people I’ve been talking on the phone to for the last month or two now. “This all came about at Bathurst after speaking with Harri (Jones) and he mentioned how it really benefited him as preparation for Porsche Supercup and Carrera Cup Germany. “I got an introduction and from there we decided we were going to do it.” Walls is particularly excited to race for Lechner Racing, which is the biggest Porsche team on the planet with 15 Porsche drivers titles. “I’ve got so much to learn still and racing with a team like Lechner, who have won so many drivers, teams and rookie championships as they have done. “It’s just going to be so good to take in and the take out anything I can into whatever else I do in the future, particularly in the next year or so. I’m just going to soak it all in. “For me, It’s the mileage, the laps and all these things to keep me as sharp as possible when people wouldn’t usually be racing. “Thanks to my Dad (former Carrera Cup racer, Tony) for letting me do this and giving me the opportunity, I’m super fortunate for that and forever grateful. We’re still working on a few things for 2024 but this is a good start.”
