Supercars slates “misleading” bias claim in Kostecki-Erebus standoff
Last week it was announced that Supercars champion Brodie Kostecki would miss the entire 2024 season, but Erebus clarified that he would only miss the opening round at Bathurst. There were statements made suggesting that Kostecki was dealing with a mental health issue related to defending his title, but that was not the case. Erebus has recently lost key sponsors, including Coca-Cola, Shaw and Partners, and Southern Cross Truck Rentals, and even long-time backer Boost Mobile has pulled out of negotiations. Supercars received criticism for its perceived silence on the matter, leading CEO Sean Howard to write an open letter addressing the situation and providing clarity. The ongoing situation between Kostecki and Erebus has yet to be resolved, and efforts are being made to find a solution in the best interests of all stakeholders.
