Mostert apologises over controversial Kostecki clash
Chaz Mostert has publicly apologised to Brodie Kostecki and the Shell V-Power Racing team following the dramatic end to Race 13 in Christchurch.
On the penultimate lap, Kostecki fired down the inside of Turn 2, and hit Mostert's Toyota. Mostert returned serve, the two cars clashing before Kostecki was sent into the infield.
Kostecki came back across the road, and the out-of-control Shell V-Power Mustang sent the pack scattering. Notably, Will Brown narrowly missed Kostecki's stricken car.
Mostert crossed the line fourth, but was reclassified 17th after being slapped with a 30-second penalty. Kostecki finished 18th, and lost both the championship lead and the Jason Richards Trophy to Broc Feeney.

Mostert and Kostecki came to blows in the closing stages of the race as the latter tried to make a crucial pass that would have clinched the Jason Richards Trophy.
He got alongside Mostert on the exit of Turn 2 before Mostert bumped the Shell Mustang off the road on the run towards Turn 3.
That tipped Kostecki into a spin initially through the infield and then across the track at the exit of Turn 3, where he was narrowly missed by Will Brown.
Race control wasted little time acting, Mostert swiftly hit with a 30-second penalty by driving standards advisor Craig Baird.

Reigning Bathurst 1000 champion Matt Payne has registered back-to-back commanding wins to end the historic first round in Christchurch.
After cantering to victory in the second 37-lap sprint on Saturday, Ford ace Payne continued his hot pace in Sunday’s 200km race.
Starting on pole, the New Zealander was untroubled for the majority of the race to celebrate another win in front of home fans.
“It was really nice to have a quick car, just being able to execute,” said Payne, whose only two wins for this season came within 24 hours.
“That was the perfect race for us — a couple of safety cars — but we were just damn fast and it was damn enjoyable.
