MOSTERT SCORES ANOTHER PODIUM FINISH

Chaz Mosert has continued his great run in the V8 Supercar Development Series by taking out third place in race one at the Homebush street circuit in Sydney today.

Flying his new Team NAVY / simPRO livery – and sporting the new #100 number to commemorate the RAN’s centenary, Mostert capitalised on his second row starting position and kept his nose clean in the 17-lap race which claimed the skins of Marcus Zukanovic and Rodney Jane in an opening lap pileup.

Mostert held on to the leaders for the majority of the race to ensure a good starting position for race two tomorrow.

“We had a pretty good race,” Mostert said.

“I made a good start and then the three of us (Andrew Thompson and Nick Percat) pulled away a bit from the main pack … I struggled a little in the mid-part of the race but the car came on again towards the end and we were one of the quickest out there which was promising,” he added.

“We’ll make a few small changes for tomorrow but I’m very happy with the car and am looking forward to having another crack at it tomorrow … my goal for this weekend was to again qualify in the top ten and be around the top five at the end of the weekend so we’re on track to achieve that,” Mostert concluded.

Mostert and his Team NAVY / simPRO Falcon return to the streets of Homebush tomorrow for race two at 12.25pm.
