Why Kostecki’s Supercars absence isn’t all bad news
As motor racing films continue to make headlines, here’s a story pitch to consider: a wealthy motorsport enthusiast purchases a successful racing team, makes costly changes that ultimately lead to its decline, but then experiences a series of ups and downs ending with a victory in the biggest race of the year. A sequel follows, with the team signing two young drivers and aiming for the top. One of them eventually becomes champion, leading to emotional moments and further success for the team. However, in the present day, champion Brodie Kostecki is not participating in the opening round of the 2024 Supercars season due to a rift with Erebus Motorsport. While it’s not uncommon for drivers to leave teams after winning titles, the decision to sit out a season at the height of one’s career is unexpected. Prior to Kostecki’s absence, star driver David Reynolds also departed from Erebus under unclear circumstances. Despite speculation of internal issues, both the team and Supercars hope to resolve the situation for the rest of the season.
