Fresh look for James Courtney for 2022

Tickford Racing has revealed a fresh look for James Courtney’s Ford Mustang ahead of the start of the new Supercars season in Sydney this weekend.

Having run in Boost Mobile colours for the past two seasons since joining the team after his split with Team Sydney, the former champion will now race in the colours of 4WD Accessories chain Opposite Lock – which has taken on naming rights for the #5 entry.

Opposite Lock is part of the same group as Autobarn and Chicane Tools; both of which are already involved with the Tickford squad.

“It’s great to be back getting ready for a new season, and fantastic to have Opposite Lock joining the team on the #5 Mustang,” he said. “On the race track we try and keep it on the black stuff, but I enjoy going off road with the kids away from the track so it’s great to have the support of a team that’s passionate about four-wheel driving.

“I’m really looking forward to this one, obviously a new season is always exciting, but I feel really settled in with the team at the moment. We had a positive test day last week which is a good boost of confidence heading into the first race of the year.

“The car looks great, and we’ll do our best to make the team at Opposite Lock proud this weekend.”
