Brodie Kostecki Shines with Bathurst 1000 Pole Position
In a remarkable display of skill and determination, Brodie Kostecki, the reigning Supercars champion, has captured pole position for the iconic Bathurst 1000 at Mount Panorama. His astonishing performance during the top-10 shootout on Saturday has left fans and competitors in awe. Kostecki’s best lap time of 2 minutes and 5.5119 seconds was not just the fastest of the day, but also the fastest of the entire weekend, solidifying his reputation as a driver to watch.
What makes Kostecki's achievement even more impressive is the backdrop of challenges he faced throughout the season. The driver for Erebus Motorsport put his struggles behind him, showcasing his remarkable talent and composure on the 6.2 km circuit. The pressure was on as Kostecki was the fourth-to-last driver to take the track, but he delivered a lap that seemed unbeatable from the moment he crossed the finish line.

Reflecting on his performance, Kostecki admitted, "I wasn't sure I was going to get it. It wasn’t my best lap around here all weekend.” He went on to explain the difficulties he experienced during the lap, mentioning a concerning tire vibration that nearly caused him to lose focus. “I was starting to get double vision at one point," he revealed, giving insight into the high-pressure environment of competitive racing.
While Kostecki celebrated his achievement, his closest competitors remained hopeful for the race ahead. Cameron Waters, who qualified in second place, acknowledged the impressive lap Kostecki produced, saying, “I really wanted that, but Brodie’s lap was awesome. We are in the mix and the front row is pretty good.” Waters will be sharing the car with James Moffat, and the duo is poised to make a strong showing in the race.
Broc Feeney, who finished in third, expressed his disappointment in not securing pole position, noting the tough competition. He will partner with Jamie Whincup in the highly competitive Red Bull Ampol Racing team. Meanwhile, Richie Stanaway’s exceptional fourth-place qualifying effort adds another layer of excitement, as he has a history of strong performances but is currently without a confirmed seat for the next season.
With the Bathurst 1000 scheduled for Sunday, fans eagerly anticipate the 161-lap race, which promises to be filled with adrenaline and fierce competition. Kostecki's position at the front of the grid sets the stage for what could be a historic race for both him and Erebus Motorsport. As he prepares to share the track with notable drivers like Will Brown and Jack Le Brocq, all eyes will be on Kostecki to see if he can convert his pole position into a second consecutive victory at Bathurst.
As the excitement builds, the Supercars community prepares for a thrilling race. The atmosphere at Mount Panorama is electric, and the stage is set for a day of high-speed action. Fans can expect to witness Kostecki’s skills in full force as he and his team look to capitalize on this advantageous starting position.
