THE Mustang Supercar raced by NASCAR driver Austin Cindric<\/a> at the 2025 Adelaide Grand Final will be back on track this season, but in the hands of Cam Waters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Waters has been diverted into chassis TR-28 following the end-of-year handover of his existing car which had been pre-sold to Scott Taylor.<\/p>\n

Tickford Racing is in the process of building its first in-house chassis, but won\u2019t have that up and running by next month\u2019s Sydney 500.<\/p>\n

Hence the return of TR-28, in which Waters actually won the first ever Gen3 Supercars race.<\/p>\n

Waters raced that particular car throughout season 2023 and the opening round of \u201924 before shifting into a new build (the now Taylor-owned TR-30).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

TR-28 has had an interesting journey since then, cutting dirt speedway laps in Sydney<\/a> and being at the centre of wildcards for Lochie Dalton<\/a>, Rylan Gray<\/a> and Cindric.<\/p>\n

Tickford team manager Matty Roberts flagged intentions for its in-progress new chassis to open the floodgates for them to become a go-to supplier for other teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guys have started building it in-house, that\u2019s the biggest key we\u2019ve ticked off, but it certainly won\u2019t be ready for Round 1,\u201d he told V8 Sleuth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not rushing that fabrication\/build stage. Once it\u2019s ready, we\u2019ll debut it. We\u2019re not sure when yet, but hopefully soon.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately we probably want to be a supplier to the category as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Tickford Engineering side of the business, it\u2019s growing and that\u2019s what we\u2019re exploring.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully once it hits the track it will prove its worth and we can go on and market it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to its main game pair of Waters and Thomas Randle<\/a>, Tickford will again field four cars in the Dunlop Super2 Series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THE Mustang Supercar raced by NASCAR driver Austin Cindric at the 2025 Adelaide Grand Final will be back…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":437519,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":["post-437518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=437518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/437519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=437518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=437518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
