peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
another one who is probably a couple of years too late,

Good luck Todd, thanks for the memories. My favourite one was when he did the brotherly thing and let Rick win a race in 06, I guess he also took out ricks competitor that year also

Feeling a bit sad about this. Todd was the first V8 Supercar driver I ever met as a kid. (he was part of the Holden Rally Team which had the V8 powered Rodeo's that Peter Brock took part in and they stopped into a town checkpoint only walking distance from the family home)

Shame that injuries have played such a big part that he's had to hang up the helmet full time. But his loss will be Nissan's gain since they now have a full time owner rather than a balancing act of owner-driver.

Drivers have a long history of not being terribly understanding team owners once they hang up the steering wheel.

Of course everyone is different and Todd may break the mould.

Injury contributes to his retirement decision? Didn't he jetski across Bass Strait earlier this year? That would have done wonders for a bung knee.

With Nissan on the verge of a likely reduction or withdrawal from the sport, his replacement will be extremely interesting, do they go for a driver with budget or a gun for hire? Or find some middle ground?

Thought he'd go another year, to be honest.
