Tickford Racing (formerly known as Prodrive Racing Australia and Ford Performance Racing) is an Australian motor racing team which competes in the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship. The team currently campaigns four Ford FG X Falcons, driven by Mark Winterbottom, Cameron Waters, Chaz Mostert and Richie Stanaway. Winterbottom won the 2015 championship driving for the team. Tickford Racing also competes in the Dunlop Super2 Series with Thomas Randle.

NASCAR fan since late 2003. Reading The Spotter's Stand and its predecessors since at least 2016, but never posted until mid-2018.

Some of my favorite drivers are Jordan Anderson (assuming he hasn't done anything illegal) and Cole Whitt (hence my screen name), along with Michael McDowell, Brett Moffitt, Landon Cassill, Matt DiBenedetto, Ross Chastain, Chase Elliott, Alex Bowman, Aric Almirola, and Blake Koch.

Mark Winterbottom, who has driven for Tickford Racing since 2006, has announced he will not return to the team next season. He has been rumored to drive a Holden for Charlie Schwerkolt Racing in 2019, after having driven a Ford for his entire career Supercars.

Winterbottom earned his and Tickford's only drivers' championship in 2015 (when Tickford was known as Prodrive Racing Australia). Winterbottom has earned all 38 of his career wins (7th place all-time) with Tickford, but has not won since 2016.

Winterbottom is 13th in points as of 2 November 2018. If he stays in this position, this would be the first time since before he joined Tickford that Winterbottom has finished below 6th in points. (He finished in the top 5 every year from 2006-2015, and won the championship in 2015, but finished 6th place the next two years.)
