Supercars: Madness erupts in the opening lap of the Supercars in the Gold Coast with an eight car collision!
First lap CRASH in the Gold Coast | 01:43Brodie Kostecki has controlled the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 finale from pole position, on a day that started wildly on lap one and finished with the title fight shrinking from four to two contenders following late heartbreak for Ford star Chaz Mostert.
Kostecki claimed his eighth Supercars win and Erebus Motorsport’s first on the Surfers streets, with teammate Jack Le Brocq dropped from sixth to eighth after being hit with an unsafe release time penalty. Into Turn 11, Richie Stanaway fired down the inside of Anton De Pasquale, who sent Ryan Wood into the tyre barriers. James Courtney then sent De Pasquale into a spin, blocking the track.
Kostecki led the field to green on lap 7, with Brown immediately defending from Mostert. Behind them, Thomas Randle brushed the Turn 3 wall chasing James Golding, who opted to pit out of traffic. However, Golding suffered a disastrous pit stop for the second time in as many days, with the car dropped without the right rear wheel.
Kostecki retained the effective lead by 2.5s, with Mostert putting Brown under pressure. Kostecki caught the early stoppers, bringing Brown, Mostert and Feeney right back into play. All the while, Waters stopped from the race lead on lap 33.
