included the appointment of veteran Dean Orr as team manager.<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cThe key is having an engineering group that\u2019s focused on team results first,\u201d said Ryan, who will now focus on management duties.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, race engineers are allocated to cars, but success comes from the whole group working together and pushing in the same direction.<\/p>\n
\u201cDaniel came recommended by Barry Rogers, and that matters. Just as importantly, we\u2019re committed to backing our own people.<\/p>\n
\u201cAidan\u2019s rounds at the end of 2025 engineering the #9 car have set him up extremely well, and he\u2019s now in a position to contribute strongly to the group. Creating pathways and supporting that progression is a big part of how we operate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stewart, 21, said he\u2019s already begun working closely with Frencham ahead of the championship getting underway in Sydney in late February.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like that Erebus doesn\u2019t do things the obvious way,\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n
\u201cDaniel\u2019s come from a strong program and a great team. He\u2019s been great to work with already and for me as a rookie, having that level of support and trust around you makes a big difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
Murray also expressed a desire to continue building momentum following his rookie season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWayne\u2019s been a big part of my development from the early days as he has been with Jobe,\u201d Murray said.<\/p>\n
\u201cErebus gives people opportunities, backs them, and expects you to grow. It\u2019s why this team works, and why it\u2019s had the success it has.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully we can keep building on that in 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
