Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (“GMG”) is delighted to announce a new partnership with Tickford Racing, bringing together two high-performance organizations to celebrate a shared obsession: turning small, hard-earned gains into potentially big competitive advantages. As part of this partnership, Tickford Racing, one of Australia’s leading Supercars teams, will trial GMG liquid graphene products including G® LUBRICANT and THERMAL-XR® as detailed below, display the GMG logo on its race cars, promote GMG on its website and in social media and host track/pit customer events.
This collaboration marks an exciting milestone for GMG as it showcases how graphene-enabled technologies can be explored in one of the most demanding and visible performance arenas in the world – top-tier Supercars racing. The partnership recognizes motorsport as a stage where preparation, innovation and execution are publicly tested at pace, and where every marginal gain matters.
Tickford Racing and GMG will celebrate this shared performance mindset through a “test, learn and scale” approach – starting with targeted trials, capturing real-world performance data, and building credible proof points that have the potential to extend beyond the circuit into everyday industrial applications.
The GMG branding placement on the Supercar is shown below:
Initial collaboration areas are expected to include:
- Operational efficiency trials across Tickford’s workshop and event infrastructure (where applicable), targeting any measurable reliability and potential performance improvements that both teams can share with key stakeholders.
- A structured case-study pipeline that documents outcomes, learnings and potential real-world application pathways for GMG’s customers and partners, highlighting results as they emerge.
- Content and storytelling that bring the excitement of elite motorsport together with advanced materials science.
- B2B engagement opportunities leveraging Tickford Racing’s partner ecosystem and corporate network, creating celebratory moments for relationship building, collaboration and commercial introductions.
Simon Brookhouse, CEO of Tickford Racing commented: “GMG’s work sits at the intersection of advanced materials and real-world efficiency, and that’s a space we’re passionate about exploring. While this isn’t about changing what’s on the race car, it is about applying an elite performance mindset to trials, insights and outcomes that can translate into everyday industry. Teaming up with GMG is an exciting step for Tickford Racing, and we’re looking forward to celebrating the innovations and results that come from this partnership.”
Craig Nicol, CEO & Managing Director of the Company, commented “Motorsport is the ultimate proving ground – everything is measured, everything is exposed, and performance is earned on the smallest margins. Partnering with Tickford Racing is a proud and exciting moment for GMG. They operate in a world where preparation, reliability and execution are non-negotiable, and that makes them an ideal partner to help us validate performance thinking in the real world. We’re thrilled to join forces with a team known for innovation and outcomes under pressure and to celebrate the proof points we build together through our test – learn – scale approach in support of GMG’s growth and customers.”
Jack Perkowski, Chairman & Non Executive Director of the Company, commented “Partnering with Tickford Racing is an exciting milestone in GMG’s journey from advanced materials innovation to real-world commercialization. As a board, we are focused on backing collaborations that can validate our technology in demanding environments and open doors to new industrial relationships. Tickford’s high-performance culture, strong brand and deep connections across the automotive and industrial sectors make it an ideal partner to help showcase what GMG’s graphene-enabled solutions can do, and to support our long-term growth ambitions.”
