It isn't 3 years old is it? Lee folded one up at one point and it had to be replaced?

Trackside mentioned that both Caruso and Heimgartner have both said their farewell to the Kelly's.

Assume Stanaway is out at Tickford? Talk of Holdsworth or Lebrock at Tickford, so assume the driver for the 3rd seat needs to bring funding?

I believe Lee has some funding. If Stanaway is out one wonders why he wAs ever in? One assumes a couple of blonde bimbo’s working for Foxsports have more influence than astute Motorsport observers? However with the struggles of Tickford are well known and he was alwAys going to be in an awkward situation. With two solid drivers confirmed for 2019 the Team will be the focus of a lot of eyes after a very below par 2018. After solid performances at Some late Rounds of 2018 Team 18 will be even stronger in 2019.

Apparently GTR does not think Macauley Jones is a chance for Team Cooldrive, Simon Fallon is a long shot. Good in F4 and Porsche Challenge though.

So out of all from 2019 the spoils go to DJRTP, but I want to single out Betty Klimenko for having the courage to restructure and move the team as she did while many thought she was mad. 4th in the teams with a rookie is no mean feat, beating those with much deeper pockets. Hats off to a very well presented, harmonious team.

Talk from Triple Eight is that Mr. Whincup is going to adopt #888 while SVG is going to get #88, ditching his #97.
