Team 18 unveils new three-round livery 

By Timothy Neal

Team 18 and Mark Winterbottom will contest Tasmania, Sandown, and the Gold Coast in a new Cub Cadet livery via a collaboration with DEWALT and Stanley Black & Decker.

Frosty’s #18 Camaro will feature the striking yellow livery in the colours of the Cub Cadet brand, who joined the team this year after its recent acquisition by Stanley Black & Decker.

DEWALT will remain as the major partner for the Bathurst 1000 and season-ending Adelaide 500, with Winterbottom currently sitting 14th in the Supercars Championship with two podiums at Albert Park and Darwin, ahead of the next round in Tasmania next week.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to reveal our stunning new Cub Cadet Racing Camaro. The yellow livery is really eye-catching, and it’s exciting to see Cub Cadet in such a prominent place on the car,” Frosty commented.

“It’s fantastic to have another brand from the Stanley Black & Decker family join us alongside DEWALT, showing the strength of our partnership,” he said referring to the seven year partnership.

“I’m really looking forward to hitting the track at Symmons Plains with the new livery. Tasmania is always a great place to race, and the fans there are incredible. With two podiums under our belt this season, we’re aiming to push even harder and bring home some strong results.”

“I also can’t wait for the fans to see the Cub Cadet Camaro up close at the Hobart fan event on Wednesday. It’s always special to interact with the fans, and I’m sure they’ll love the new design as much as we do. Their enthusiasm and support mean a lot to the team and it will be a great way to kick off the race weekend in Tasmania.”

David Kennedy, Brand Manager for Cub Cadet said it’s an honour to be on the 2015 Supercars champions car.

“Cub Cadet is now part of the Stanley Black & Decker family and havingCub Cadet as the primary brand on Frosty’s Team 18 Camaro is an extraordinary honour to have,” he said.

“For several years, Cub Cadet has been actively engaged with Supercars teams. Our dedicated dealers and enthusiastic users share a deep admiration for the power, performance, and control that this premier motorsport championship offers in Australia.”
