The worst kept secret in Supercars is closer to being confirmed after Tickford Racing officially announced star driver Chaz Mostert will be leaving the Ford powerhouse.
Former Bathurst champion Mostert has been strongly linked to a 2020 move to Walkinshaw Andretti United (WAU).
Mostert was even taped to a tyre trolley by cheeky Tickford mechanics and wheeled down the pitlane into Holden team WAU's garage after the season-ending finale in Newcastle on Sunday.
An official move to WAU now appears imminent for Mostert after Tickford's driver announcement on Tuesday morning.
"Tickford Racing can confirm that Chaz Mostert's tenure with the team has come to an end," it said.
