God Team18 has gone wrong flinging Frosty and keeping Reynolds.
I know people in sponsor land and Frosty is a gun on that side.
Maybe BJR?

Lots of stories around about how Mr Winterbottom discovered he was surplus to requirements too. None seem to reflect well on T18 management if accurate.

I agree with Pye. Poor form from Charlie.

For anyone who thought Mr Winterbottom was just going thru the motions….

Might suggest that the pit garages at T18 for the rest of the year might be about as fun as the Erebus one is reported to be…

Nice sentiments from the fan however

Bit rough, really. Frosty hasn't been exactly underperforming. He'd be a better bet for PremiAir than Slade though. Is PremiAir the best seat available for Frosty?

Does anybody think that Reynolds and dePasquale are the team to launch Team 18 further up the standings?

I have said in the past, Team18 looks like a team playing motor racing. That starts at the top. I know nothing about Charlie, apart from what's out there. Just going off what I've seen and heard from him since running Team18. He is just playing at the game, he probably loves it, but he's not the guy running a front running team. And I know the DJR history. I don't see a hand nose no nonsence guy, I see a just happy to be there guy. That driver line up won't change anything anytime soon.

Frosty maybe a good fit for 888 as a codriver for 2025 enduros.

A safe pair of hands, seems to be sponsor savvy.

Maybe they are going to announce Ms Gracie is going to host Playschool next year?

The fan has the same name as Frosty's wife and from the small picture, looks similar as well. Maybe just some heartfelt praise from his life partner, rather than a fan watching from afar?

Presumably some contribution to the timing of the exit was related to getting the new DJR pilot announced.

Some sponsors truly get it.

Be nice to understand what kind of package could appear with these guys, and other notable long time supporters in perhaps a lucrative financial parlay.

I worked with the manager of that program nearly 20 years ago (we sponsored Russell Ingall..) and I know how much Frosty puts in on the "off track" and "at track" activations. Like Macca Jones sometimes the commercial value is there even if a guy isn't winning all the time.

I think this is a mistake by Charlie.
