Supercars champ Kostecki to split from Erebus team in shock move
There are reports that Brodie Kostecki is on the verge of leaving Erebus Motorsport after a disagreement with team management. This comes after the departure of Will Brown to Triple Eight Racing, leaving Erebus potentially with two new drivers for the upcoming season. Tensions within the team have been ongoing, with a major fall-out between Kostecki and the squad last year. Despite being under contract with Erebus, it’s uncertain if Kostecki will be released to join another team, which may affect his participation in endurance events like the Sandown 500 and Bathurst 1000. Kostecki has been linked with a future in NASCAR, having competed in a Cup race with Richard Childress Racing. Erebus may potentially look to Todd Hazelwood as a replacement driver, who has experience with the new Gen3 racer. The team has also made structural changes, appointing Brad Tremain as the new Team Principal.
