DOWNSHIFTING: Brodie Kostecki

Everything changes for former Supercars champion Brodie Kostecki in season 2025. But . . . not really. Even though he is suited-up in the red-yellow-white Shell colours at DJR on the Gold Coast, he has arrived with his engineer George Commins and his Bathurst winning co-driver Todd Hazelwood. And he will be driving a Ford Mustang chassis built by his former team, Erebus.

Probably the Bathurst 1000 last year. It was just something I’d always dreamed of winning.

7. Your greatest failure?

Bathurst 2023. It was just a poor race for us. That was pretty annoying.

Probably not listening to my grandfather more about life.

9. What is your guilty pleasure?

Beer. No particular brand. It only comes with celebrations. I’m not a champagne type, except for spraying.

Ricky Bobby – Will Ferrell.
