“We are delighted to bring Bendix aboard the Supercheap Auto Racing Ford for the 2019 season,” Wilesmith said. “Bendix is a tremendous partner of Supercheap Auto, and of course produces high-performance braking products. It is only natural to pair them with the high-performance industry of auto racing, particularly Tickford Racing and the Supercars Championship.”
Mostert enters the 2019 season optimistic, having finished the previous campaign with a string of top five and top ten finishes, including a dominating win on the streets of Gold Coast in October.
“Supercheap Auto has so many great trade partners who have supported us the past several years, and its great to add Bendix to the fold. They’re very excited to be a part of the team, and really we appreciate that enthusiasm. It’s been a good start to the year, and hopefully we’ll share plenty of success together in 2019.”
Tickford Racing recently attended the preseason test at Phillip Island on February 14th with its four team-prepared Mustang Supercars, ahead of the 2019 season opening Adelaide 500, February 28 – March 3.
