New Zealand driver Richie Stanaway and Tickford Racing have parted ways after a shocking rookie Supercars season.
Stanaway finished 25th in his first full season in the championship, despite starting the year with high hopes after his Sandown 500 victory in 2017 as a co-driver for Cam Waters.
The 27-year-old had just one top 10 finish at Winton in May and Tickford announced on Monday the pair had mutually agreed to cancel the final year of his contract with the former Ford factory team.
"This decision is mutual, as team and driver believe it is best to part ways at this time," Tickford said in a statement.
