Kostecki confirmed for Pro Eseries wildcard

The Supercars Pro Eseries will welcome a fresh face this week, with Penrite Racing co-driver Brodie Kostecki stepping into the sim.

Kostecki will join Erebus Academy young gun Jobe Stewart for round three at Mount Panorama as a wild card, albeit onboard the Penrite Racing Commodore.

A well-known sim racer, Kostecki featured in the All Stars Eseries earlier this year.

“I did a lot behind the scenes with the All Stars Eseries earlier this year and I can’t wait to get back behind the wheel and have another crack,” Kostecki said.

“Sim racing isn’t new to me so I’m very comfortable jumping back in and putting my best foot forward for the team.

“I have a fair bit of experience so I’m looking forward to see how I stack up against the professional sim racers.”

Kostecki finished second multiple times in the All Stars Eseries at Mount Panorama earlier this year, and also made it inside the top ten from a full reverse grid where he started from last.

He will race the same livery he raced in the real world at Bathurst only last month, with the additional of long-time partner Method Wheels.

Tonight’s racing will feature two races unlike the first two rounds that saw three races each night.

Both races order a compulsory pit stop for each driver as well as a mandatory full-field caution implemented at the discretion of the stewards.

The grid for the first race will be set by a 20-minute qualifying session while the second will be a full-field reverse grid.

Fans can watch the races from 8:30pm AEDT on Fox Sports 506, Kayo Sports and Sky NZ, Supercars Facebook, Youtube & Twitch pages.
