Moffat\u2019s future had been the subject of intense speculation behind the scenes, and now the Supercars veteran of 15 starts in the Bathurst 1000 has confirmed his exit.<\/p>\n

Fresh out of full-time driving with Garry Rogers Motorsport, Moffat was picked up by Tickford Racing to join Chaz Mostert in 2019.<\/p>\n

Moffat\u2019s best Bathurst 1000 result with Tickford Racing came in 2021 when he finished second alongside Cameron Waters.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter eight years, my time at Tickford Racing as an endurance co-driver has come to an end,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been some great memories with some great people in that period.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Gold Coast 600, two Bathurst podiums and a Sandown 500 podium were amongst the highlights.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst we didn\u2019t achieve the ultimate goal of winning the Bathurst 1000, I am proud of the work both on and off the track that was put in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to all the mechanics, engineers, tyre technicians, truck drivers, workshop crew, and management personnel for their tireless hard work and effort. Cheers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moffat\u2019s exit leaves a vacancy at Tickford Racing as Thomas Randle\u2019s co-driver.<\/p>\n

Tickford Autosport driver and Super2 Series leadar Rylan Gray has been snapped up by Dick Johnson Racing to replace Will Davison in 2026.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Lochie Dalton is Erebus Motorsport-bound to join Cooper Murray as his co-driver.<\/p>\n
