Defending Australian Supercars champion Brodie Kostecki is shifting allegiances in 2025. He’s ditching his current Chevy team, Erebus Motorsports, and joining forces with Supercars Ford team Dick Johnson Racing (DJR) next year, but he won’t be without Erebus equipment. In fact, the Chevy outfit will produce the chassis for Kostecki’s Ford Mustang GT.
According to a report from Supercars.com, the chassis bound for Kostecki’s Supercars Ford will be built by fabricator James White. White is responsible for building chassis for Erebus and has helped the organization capture several wins at Bathurst, along with building championship-winning race cars.
The Supercars Gen3 race cars are control specification items, meaning they must conform to the sanctioning body’s specifications. The chassis are built separately from the bodywork and teams can purchase a ready-made chassis, or can buy kits and assemble it themselves. The Ford Mustang or Chevy Camaro bodywork is installed once the chassis is complete.
Previously, Supercars Ford team DJR has sourced chassis from PACE Innovations. In 2010, the DJR secured the driver’s championship when James Courtney outperformed the field in a Ford FG Falcon underpinned by a Triple Eight Race Engineering-sourced chassis, which had just swapped to Holden that year.
Erebus has been supportive of Kostecki’s move to DJR. Erebus CEO, Barry Ryan, attended the announcement alongside DJR co-owners Dick Johnson and Ryan Story. It’s worth noting that while Kostecki has partnered with GM-backed teams for most of his racing career, he did drive a Ford race car in the 2017 Super2 Series season.
Todd Hazelwood, another Erebus-allied driver, is expected to follow Kostecki to DJR in 2025 as codriver for certain enduro races.
