JAMES Moffat has no qualms about swapping Monster black for Castrol green for the 2025 Ryco Enduro Cup.
Moffat has been a fixture in Tickford Racing’s enduro roster since the moment he finished up as a full-timer at the end of 2017.
After two years with Chaz Mostert, one with Jack Le Brocq and four with Cam Waters, Moffat is this year partnering Thomas Randle.
That followed Tickford’s recruitment of Mark Winterbottom, who has slotted in next to Waters, while Moffat was retained over fellow incumbent Tyler Everingham – although that part of the equation curiously was never formally announced.
“Yeah, I’ve been pushed across to Thomas, so, a bit of an upgrade for me, I reckon!” Moffat told V8 Sleuth.
“Looking forward to partnering up with Tom, I know he’s pumped up for it.
“Now we start to work a bit more closely together in the lead up to, particularly, Tailem Bend, but then Bathurst as well.
“Obviously, he’s been in the team as long as I have been a co-driver, so we know each other anyway before it was (decided) that we were driving together.
“I’ve just been keeping in touch with him after every round to see how he’s going.”
Moffat collected a pole position and race win during his solo Supercars days at Kelly Racing, and has troubled the podium at the Gold Coast 600, Sandown 500 and Bathurst 1000 (twice) as a Tickford co-driver.
He keeps sharp nowadays in the Trans Am Series, in which he won the 2023 title, and is in action today at the all-in Supercars test at Queensland Raceway.
