DJR TEAM PENSKE
CARS: Ford FG X Falcon
DRIVERS: Fabian Coulthard, Scott McLaughlin
DJR Team Penske scored its first teams’ championship and helped Ford to its first manufacturers’ championship since 2009 last season, going some way to compensate for Scott McLaughlin’s last-lap drivers’ championship defeat. While Holden teams update to the new ZB Commodore, DJR Team Penske and the other Ford teams have continuity by campaigning the FG X Falcon for another season.
TRIPLE EIGHT RACE ENGINEERING
CARS: Holden ZB Commodore
DRIVERS: Jamie Whincup, Shane van Gisbergen, Craig Lowndes Triple Eight may have lost its place at the end of pitlane to DJR Team Penske but did secure a seventh drivers’ championship for Jamie Whincup. The factory-backed Holden team leads the development of the new ZB Commodore and will field a wildcard entry powered by the new twin-turbo V6 at select events. Whincup will run the #1 plate for the seventh time in his career in the Red Bull Holden Racing Team entry, while Craig Lowndes will be in new colours courtesy of Autobarn.
TEKNO AUTOSPORTS
CAR: Holden ZB Commodore
DRIVER: Jack Le Brocq
Tekno Autosports will run the fourth Triple Eight-built ZB Commodore. The customer team struggled to build on its 2016 Bathurst 1000 win last season, so the switch to the new car with the support of Triple Eight gives Tekno Autosports the chance to bounce back in 2018, with Jack Le Brocq stepping up from Super2 and Adrian Burgess appointed team manager.
TICKFORD RACING
CARS: Ford FG X Falcon
DRIVERS: Mark Winterbottom, Cameron Waters, Chaz Mostert, Richie Stanaway

Who are the greatest drivers in the 60-year history of the Australian Touring Car Championship/Supercars? We rank the top 60 with an emphasis on best championship finishes, race-winning percentage and competitive longevity. Only drivers with top 10 championship finishes were considered, to emphasise championship performances over part-time or endurance campaigns. Also, results from the Bathurst 1000 and other endurance events were only factored in when they were part of the championship.
