Mark Winterbottom’s 2018 livery has been reveled

Tickford Racing has unveiled Mark Winterbottom’s livery for the 2018 Supercars championship season.

“I think the car looks sharp,” said Winterbottom. “The aggressive lines and variance of colour make it a bit different than the last couple of years, but it retains that classic green of The Bottle-O, so you’ll definitely know who’s coming whether you’re a fan in the stands or a competitor on the track. It’s a big year ahead and I’m looking forward to getting The Bottle-O Falcon on the track.”

The 2015 champion finished sixth overall last year and is hoping for a much better season this year.

“I always love this time of the year,” said Winterbottom, “it’s like the first day of school. As a driver you’re always wanting to get back in the car, and I’m ready to get the new season started. Obviously 2017 was a struggle for us, but we finished the year pretty strong which was good. I know we’ve got the ability to run up front, so I’m extremely motivated to get to the pointy end and stay there.”

2018 will be Winterbottom’s 15th full-time season in the Supercars championship.
