The team has surprised its 34-year-old star with an overnight livery change to the #1 Toyota, replacing sponsor Optus with a large 200 on the doors.
Mostert joined the squad in 2020, winning the Bathurst 1000 together the following season and the Supercars drivers’ title in 2025.
The 200 race milestone comes just one round after Mostert chalked up his 400th Supercars Championship race start in Darwin.
Mostert debuted with Dick Johnson Racing partway through the 2013 season before spending six years at what is now Tickford Racing.

Teammate Ryan Wood flagged the upcoming 200-race milestone in a recent team video, ribbing Mostert about how he would react.
“You get weird when you have to celebrate these things,” Wood said to Mostert. “You hate your birthday, you hate celebrating yourself.”

Mostert responded: “I feel bad for the team who’ve had to put up with me for 200 races. That’s not easy.”
