Why Kostecki’s Supercars absence isn’t all bad news
A wealthy motorsport enthusiast purchases a successful racing team and makes expensive changes that lead to their decline. However, through a series of hardships, they ultimately win the biggest race of the year. A sequel follows, where the team’s star driver leaves and two young drivers are signed. Together, they achieve success, winning titles and defeating their competitors. But now, Supercars champion Brodie Kostecki is no longer with Erebus Motorsport, and the reasons for the split are yet to be revealed. Kostecki will miss the opening round of the 2024 season, and it remains uncertain if the rift can be resolved for the rest of the season. This situation is uncommon in motorsport, as drivers typically find new teams or opportunities after success. Nevertheless, there were signs of trouble at Erebus when their previous star driver, David Reynolds, abruptly left in 2020. Kostecki had plans to pursue a NASCAR future and was scheduled to race in the USA this season.
