Tickford Racing will host a Wildcard entry at Townsville, Ipswich and The Bend to be shared by two of its young Super2 drivers.
Sharing the chassis Thomas Randle has used during the last few seasons, Reuben Goodall and Ben Gomersall will share the duties.
Goodall was confirmed as Randle’s co-driver for the upcoming Ryco Enduro Cup earlier this year, but will make his Repco Supercars Championship debut in Townsville.
“I am really excited to secure a solo wildcard round at Townsville in the Supercars Championship,” Goodall revealed.
”Having the opportunity to work closer with the race team, Waters and Randle in the lead up to the Ryco Enduro Cup is fantastic preparation at a critical part of the season.
”The team have been great to work with to get more Gen3 seat time before the Enduros, so I will be looking to really learn every step of the way from now until then.
”I can’t thank those who have backed me enough, from family to sponsors across my racing career, it is another step to my development and goal of reaching the next level of racing.”
At Queensland Raceway, Gomersall will do likewise by making his maiden start before continuing on for the opening round of the Ryco Enduro Cup at The Bend of which the co-driver will be confirmed in due course.
“I’m super excited to make my main game Supercars debut in the coming months at my home round at Ipswich, and later compete at The Bend 500,” Gomersall said.
”This is something that I’ve always dreamed of throughout my whole motorsport journey.
“I’ve worked incredibly hard to get to this point and to be rewarded the opportunity by Tickford Racing is a dream come true after a strong start to our Super2 campaign together.
”I’m really looking forward to all the learnings I can take away from both Ipswich and The Bend 500 to gain some valuable experience for not only prospects of a main game drive in the future, but my Super2 campaign as well.
“I’d just like to thank all my sponsors and family who have put in massive contributions to get me this far in my career.”
Both drivers will undertake a test in the Ford Mustang at The Bend in preparation for the program.
