2025 MSS Security Melbourne SuperSprint - Tickford Racing Round Wrap-Up

Round 2 of the 2025 Supercars Championship saw the field head to Victoria for the 2025 MSS Security Melbourne SuperSprint. Sharing the same weekend as the 2025 Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix, the Supercars took to Albert Grand Prix Circuit for Race 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the 2025 Championship. Piloting the Tickford Racing Mustangs, we had Cam Waters in the No. 6 Monster Energy Ford Mustang and Thomas Randle in the No.55 Castrol Racing Ford Mustang.

Thanks to the Formula 1, the Supercars action kicked off a little earlier than usual with both practice sessions and qualifying for Race 4 and 5, and Race 4 itself taking place throughout Thursday. Practice 1 would see Waters go fourteenth-fastest in the session with Randle right behind him in fifteenth. Practice 2 would see the duo move further up the pack with Waters claiming the eleventh fastest lap and Randle taking twelfth.

Qualifying for Race 4 would prove challenging for the duo, with Waters and Randle coming out of the session with respective P21 and P22 results. Race 5 Qualifying would see Waters work his way up into the top ten to claim a P6 start on the grid for Saturday’s race with Randle earning himself a P18 qualifying result.

An epic showing from both Waters and Randle in Race 4 would see them both fight hard from the back of the pack with 29 track passes between the two of them throughout the 18-lap affair. They would ultimately end the day in the top ten with Waters claiming a P6 race result and Randle close behind with a P8 finish.

Race 5 would kick away on Saturday afternoon with Waters taking his P6 start all the way to the end with a P6 finish after numerous interruptions throughout the race. Meanwhile, Randle would end the day with a P20 race result after losing his left front tyre in an incident.

Saturday’s on-track festivities would start with Race 6 Qualifying and see yet another challenging outing for the Tickford duo. Randle would come out of the session with a P13 result with Waters finding himself further down the pack in P19. Waters would turn things around in Race 7 Qualifying, earning himself a P5 start on the grid for Sunday’s race with Randle claiming a P12 qualifying result.

Race 6 would cap off Saturday with another chaotic outing. Waters would manage to claw his way back into the top ten, crossing the finish line in P9 despite a multitude of disruptions. Meanwhile, Randle would suffer from a number of incidents, ultimately sending the Castrol Racing Mustang home to a P17 race result.
