MELBOURNE, VIC | Tickford Racing today announces its 2026 Co-Driver lineup with Mark Winterbottom (Car #6) and Reuben Goodall (Car #55) to challenge this year’s Ryco Enduro Cup in the Supercars Championship.

Winterbottom will once again partner with Cam Waters in the#6 Monster Energy Mustang. The 2013 Bathurst 1000 Champion returns to Tickford Racing for the second year in the Co-Driver role bringing with him highly regarded wealth of racing knowledge that spans over two decades.

‍

Dunlop Series driver Reuben Goodall will notch his firstSupercars start at The Bend in September as he joins Thomas Randle in the #55 Castrol Racing Mustang. The South Australian driver was part of the highly successful Tickford Autosport program for the 2025 season, securing 5 podiums and finishing4^th in the 2025 Dunlop Series Championship.

‍

Winterbottom and Waters entered the 2025 Ryco Enduro Cup as one of the strongest partnerships on the Supercars grid with their combined racing status. Securing a second place at The Bend was a strong start to their campaign before heading to The Bathurst 1000.

‍

A gruelling Mount Panorama threw everything at the Car #6 side of the garage in what was a challenging way to end the Enduro campaign for the two experienced drivers as they came home in 12^th position. The duo still finished a respectable third in the overall standings for the Ryco Enduro Cup.

‍

Randle delivered consistent results when behind the wheel of the #55 Castrol Racing Mustang, finishing 9^th and 11^th atThe Bend and The Bathurst 1000 respectively.

‍

The Bathurst 1000 was incredibly important for Randle who was battling to remain in the Top 10 of the Championship. With a strong final stint at Mount Panorama, Randle secured his place within the inaugural FinalsSeries and finished 9^th overall in the Ryco Enduro Cup.

‍

Goodall brings recent success in his upcoming Supercars debut, with a 3^rd place finish at the Bathurst Dunlop Series round, narrowly missing out on the Round Podium.

‍

Both Winterbottom and Goodall will participate in theSupercars Test Day at Sydney Motorsport Park on Wednesday 18 February.

Tickford Racing CEO Simon Brookhouse said:

‍

It is fantastic to have two Co-Drivers who are integral to Tickford Racing contest the 2026 Ryco Enduro Cup. As we prepare for the Ryco Enduro Cup we feel we have selected the best lineup to head into the two-race series. Overall, we have 4 drivers who are very much part of the Tickford Racing family and have the collective buy-in for the teams goal’s in 2026.

‍

Winterbottom is synonymous with Supercars and a legend of the sport, so to partner him with Waters again is the perfect way to strengthen their chance to achieve more at The Bend and Bathurst this year.  

‍

For Reuben, we feel like the time is right to provide him the opportunity to step up to a main game Co-Drive. His development over the past 2years in the Dunlop Series has been key for him being ready for this occasion.

Car #6 Co-Driver, Mark Winterbottom said:

‍
It’s great to head into 2026 partnering with Cam and the team again for the Ryco Enduro Cup.

‍

Finishing 3rd overall last year was a strong result but after Bathurst we knew it was an opportunity we missed to achieve something special.

‍

It’s a bit of a wait between now and September when we get to The Bend, but we will have a really good couple of test days to tune everything up in the meantime and looking to be back at the front of the grid at The Mountain.

‍

Car #55 Co-Driver, Reuben Goodall said:

To be given the opportunity for my first Supercars Co-Drive is incredibly exciting and to do it with Tickford is just that much better.

‍

It’s still very early in my racing career but I feel like last year’s Dunlop Series was a huge jump in my development and race craft.

‍

I can’t thank the team and Thomas for providing me this opportunity to tackle this year’s Ryco Enduro Cup. Additionally, all of my supporters and family who have been behind me since day 1, this is thanks to them and their belief in me.

‍

My focus now is on executing a strong Dunlop Series campaign up to the Enduro races and I cannot wait to be on the grid Sunday morning atMount Panorama.
