Kostecki secured pole position for the 2023 running of the Great Race at Bathurst 1000 after an intense qualifying session. The single-lap dash for pole saw Kostecki, who had topped qualifying on Friday afternoon, start from the back of the grid.
A Challenging Start
As the session began, Broc Feeney held the fastest lap time. Kostecki had to chase a time of 2m04.755s to secure pole position. However, he encountered a challenging start to his lap. He dropped his right-rear tyre off the back of the exit kerb at the first corner, causing him to lose valuable time.
Trailing Behind
Despite the setback, Kostecki didn’t give up. He pushed hard, trying to make up for lost time. Although he was just under a tenth of a second behind Feeney, he managed to keep the gap close throughout the lap.
Pole Position Victory
In an impressive display of skill and determination, Kostecki finished his lap with a strong performance. He crossed the finish line with a time that put him ahead of Feeney, securing pole position for the 2023 Bathurst 1000 race.
This achievement is a testament to Kostecki’s talent and the team’s dedication in preparing the car for the qualifying session. With pole position, Kostecki now has a fantastic starting position for the highly anticipated Great Race.
Looking Ahead
The excitement continues to build as fans eagerly await the start of the Bathurst 1000. The race promises to be a thrilling event, with top drivers competing for glory on one of the most challenging tracks in racing.
