Goddard, Kostecki secure Tickford co-drives

Tickford Racing has confirmed its full driving roster for this year’s Repco Bathurst 1000.

Zane Goddard and Kurt Kostecki join incumbents James Moffat and Zak Best at the expanded four-car squad.

It ensures Goddard will remain in the main game, albeit in a co-driving capacity, in 2022.

The former Matt Stone Racing driver recently tested both Gen3 prototypes.

Kostecki, the older brother of full-time Tickford recruit Jake, moved across from an MSR co-drive.

Moffat returns to the team for a fifth straight season, with Best previously confirmed to make his second Great Race starts with the team.

Moffat finished second alongside Cam Waters in last year’s Bathurst 1000.

"Having Moff and Zak on board with us again this year is a real positive for us.

"Bringing Kurt and Zane to the table gives us a very good group of drivers," team boss Tim Edwards said.

"Obviously Cam and Moff came second last year and Zak had one of the best drives of all the co-drivers, so it’s fantastic to have them back.

"Add in Kurt, who has been quite impressive himself the last couple of years, and Zane who has such recent main game experience, and we have a very strong group.

"These days co-drivers are extremely valuable in setting up your race at Bathurst, and we’re confident each of these drivers can put us in position to win on race day."

The team will confirm its driver line-ups for the 2022 Great Race in due course.

This year's Repco Bathurst 1000 is slated for October 6-9.
