Mark Winterbottom arrived at Tickford Racing to great hype alongside Cam Waters. After a runner-up finish at The Bend, Bathurst quickly fell apart for Waters/Winterbottom, but few would write them off in 2026 should Frosty go around again. James Moffat, who has been a Tickford co-driver since 2018, partnered Thomas Randle this year. With Rylan Gray off to Dick Johnson Racing, Lochie Dalton — who has won three of the last four Super2 races, and was solid alongside Gray in the team’s enduro wildcard — could emerge as next in line. Then, there’s Davison, who raced full-time for the team between 2011 and 2013, steered a satellite 23Red Ford between 2018 and 2020, and partnered Waters to second in the 2020 Bathurst 1000.
