, and with Triple 8 being the only team to not forego payment so the final Pukekohe round could go ahead leaves me with the opinion he's a right proper tight-ass and has nothing more than his own interests at heart.... which also becomes very apparent in the Dr. RS interview regarding how both homologation teams have handled the obvious disparity last season when compared to 2019.
Time for Peter Adderton to buy the team!Things are getting worse for Erebus. Shaw and Partners gone, and doubts about Coke staying on.
Erebus loses big sponsor amid Kostecki saga

Gotta feel for Jack Le Brocq. Poor guy must of broken a mirror while crossing the path of a black cat and walking under a ladder on Friday the 13th.
Don't know about that. He's a bit too much of a loose cannon for me still, and while he does come across as well meaning I don't think it's his only motive unfortunately.

More sponsor are pulling out. Coca-Cola is also not on the Erebus website anymore. Wtf is going on?
I reckon it’s something more with the team than Brodie. I reckon Brodie wanted out of that situation. Someone’s needs to say something, because this is getting ridiculous. The championship winning driver doesn’t leave his team for no reason. Sponsors don’t all pull out of a competitive team for no reason. Someone needs to speak up.This in particular piqued my interest;
“People are making commercial decisions because we're fully aware that there's a lot more to the story, and if things do come out, they are potentially damaging to other people's brands.”
Confirmed Coke are gone too.

Best comment I've seen on Speedcafe for a long while.
It could be about the Coke branding on the products that have already shipped and/or new supporters signing up because Brodie was the champion but now appears to be in team wilderness somewhat. Even loosing Will could've made a difference to peoples support I guess... and this is all just a guess.
I absolutely don’t know, but I’ll give Erebus the benefit of Betty making that call.It could be about the Coke branding on the products that have already shipped and/or new supporters signing up because Brodie was the champion but now appears to be in team wilderness somewhat.

Yeah the rule is the driver is the one that can only use the number 1 not the team. I reckon they knew that, and that it’s just a test day with only some of the Vic teams no big dramas. I reckon it’s the team giving the middle finger to everyone.Is there any rules against anyone other than the reigning champion using #1 as a number, even in testing? Just feels strange that Hazelwood was using it today. Although, I guess with everything that's gone on over the past week, Erebus probably weren't bothered to change it.
And have to say as well that Reynolds livery looks great. Real retro vibes with this. I'm liking it.
Remember when DJR did it on the door, for testing I think, back when Courtney left for Toll Holden Racing Team, albeit a bit more subtly?

The same could be said of Roland. Stirring the pot isn't helping... especially when his column always includes his obvious backhanded swipes at people Triple 8 have had disagreements with.Supercars CEO: We are not taking sides in Kostecki-Erebus impasse

Just shut up.
Kostecki and Erebus, and their lawyers?... and possibly Supercars + Erebus' ex-sponsors. It's very easy to tell that everything else is conjecture by the use of the words possibly, apparently and seemingly carefully spattered through the stories that are currently available.
I’ve been following it pretty closely and it’s super hard to get anything concrete. Reading between the lines however, it seems to be a Brodie vs Barry issue.
