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. |

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.
