Brodie Kostecki came close to a podium finish in the Supercars Bathurst 1000, but was left to rue a near-miss with a recovery vehicle that allowed Chaz Mostert to get ahead. Here's what the Erebus driver had to say on the matter ⬇️
Supercars racer Brodie Kostecki says his bizarre run-in with a recovery vehicle in the Bathurst 1000, which potentially cost him a podium finish, was the result of"bad luck".
Mostert was allowed to keep the position for the restart several laps later, the defending event winner going on to finish second while Kostecki ultimately slipped back to fourth behind Cam Waters' Tickford Mustang. "It is a bit disappointing as it might have put us on the podium. I’m not really sure. But we didn’t have a fast enough car today [to win]. We will have to try again next year."
While Moffat managed to keep his spinning Mustang off the wall, the delay dropped him 21st on the road. "That was a race of track position at the end. If we had the track position, which we did when Brodie turned us around, we would have had a good chance of winning the race.
