Tickford Racing has officially unveiled the Ford Falcon which rookie Richie Stanaway will campaign in the 2018 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship.

The New Zealander will pilot a #56 entry featuring a red, white and black livery with branding from MEGA Fuels and Tickford’s automotive arm.

Stanaway’s car, which ran a black livery at the Sydney Motorsport Park pre-season test, was revealed on the pit straight of the Adelaide Parklands Circuit ahead of this weekend’s season opener.

Adelaide will mark the 26-year-old’s solo Supercars debut with the Kiwi set to join four other debutants, including Anton De Pasquale (Erebus Motorsport), Todd Hazelwood (Matt Stone Racing), James Golding (Garry Rogers Motorsport) and Jack Le Brocq (Tekno Autosports).

Tickford Racing is set to reveal the livery of team-mate Cameron Waters’ Falcon later this evening.
