Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #28 Brodie Kostecki
Brodie Kostecki had an impressive season with consistent performance and impressive speed in qualifying, securing six race wins and 12 other podium finishes. He also achieved 10 pole positions, showcasing his talent in his third season as a Supercars regular. Kostecki adapted well to the new Gen3 Supercars, showing his skills on his home turf at Wanneroo and not allowing himself to be pushed around by more experienced rivals. He made his Cup debut at Indianapolis and is likely to follow Shane van Gisbergen to NASCAR. Erebus recruited new engineering talent to support Kostecki and his teammate Will Brown, including experienced engineer George Commins, who described Kostecki as the best driver he has ever worked with. Kostecki’s co-driver, David Russell, played a crucial role in achieving second-place finishes at Sandown and Bathurst. Despite any car issues, Kostecki consistently delivers strong lap times and effectively communicates with his team to improve performance. It is expected that Kostecki will have the same support in the next season as he aims for another Supercars title.
