Bathurst 1000 champion Brodie Kostecki’s revelation that a member of his Erebus Motorsport team was attacked and hospitalized has sent shockwaves through the racing community. The incident, which occurred outside the Oxford Hotel in Bathurst, has left many wondering what could have driven someone to commit such a violent act.
Kostecki, who was still reeling from his team’s exciting victory, expressed his disappointment and concern for his injured crew member, Sam. “It’s pretty disappointing and kind of put a sour note on the evening,” he said in the interview. “So, we wish Sam all the best and hopefully he recovers fast, along with his partner, Tameika.”
The attack has sparked outrage among racing fans and pit lane insiders, who are struggling to understand why someone would target a team member of a racing team, especially on such a joyous occasion. “These young, innocent people were out celebrating a life achievement,” said Erebus Motorsport chief executive Barry Ryan, who has offered a financial reward for any information that could assist police in their investigation.
As the investigation continues, many are left wondering if the attack was a case of mistaken identity or if it was a premeditated act of violence. Whatever the motivation, it’s clear that the racing community is shaken by the incident and is rallying around Sam and his partner, Tameika, as they recover from their ordeal.
Meanwhile, Kostecki is still basking in the glory of his historic Bathurst win, which marked his first maiden victory in the prestigious race. Despite the shocking incident, he remains proud of his team’s achievement and is looking forward to the next events on the Supercars calendar. “This win will be so sweet for me because of all the drama at the start of the year,” he said. “He hasn’t been in contention because he missed those race meetings. To win Australia’s biggest car race is a life-changing moment.”
