As with all AASA-sanctioned circuit events in 2026, the Tag Team Enduro was subject to a new-for-2026 driving standards system.<\/a><\/p>\nTaking inspiration from professional football codes, drivers are awarded with yellow or red cards for infractions.<\/p>\n
Yellow cards are to be treated as warnings for minor indiscretions, but the third will result in a red card, which brings harsher penalties into play.<\/p>\n
Taking to social media, Morris senior hailed the AASA\u2019s efforts to keep racing flowing, with yellow cards having a \u201cplay-on\u201d effect.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe yellow card\/red card judicial system for driving. This thing just works,\u201d said Morris.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt allows you to get in some dust-ups, some skirmishes, some payback, and not ruin your weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, our experience, we used them pretty early, we\u2019d run out by Sunday, but we kept our nose clean Sunday and managed to still get a result.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou saw in the final, there were some drivers that had some yellow cards up their sleeve, so they used it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt made the racing interesting. It\u2019s another strategy that the driver can use to affect a better outcome in the race.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kostecki and Morris notably had racked up two yellow cards across Saturday\u2019s sprint races and 40-minute enduro.<\/p>\n
In the Driver A race, Kostecki tagged the back of Kody Garland, forcing the Aussie Racing Cars champion into Cam McLeod, resulting in a spin for the latter.<\/p>\n
Morris was involved in his own rough and tumble action in the B Driver races, which included several Supercars and Super2 drivers.<\/p>\n

Later in the 40-minute, two-driver affair, Kostecki was involved in a battle with Walkinshaw Foundation Academy junior Pip Casabene while battling in the top five.<\/p>\n
Contact from Kostecki began a snowball effect which saw Casabene drop down the order prior to the pit stop cycle.<\/p>\n
Casabene\u2019s co-driver Ryan Wood spun on oil after taking over the car and was unable to get it restarted, resulting in a DNF.<\/p>\n
Wood was outspoken on the Sunday morning broadcast about the driving standards displayed throughout Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it was inevitable once Brodie probably got outraced a little and, unfortunately, he got into the back of Pip,\u201d said Wood.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was pretty egregious, as we would say, and it is what it is, but we\u2019ll fight our hardest.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know they\u2019ve [Kostecki and Morris] got no more yellow cards, so if they\u2019re going to use them up, use them well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got plenty of yellow cards in the bank, so I\u2019m sure Pip wants some redemption on someone, so\u00a0he can use them if he wants to.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think they\u2019re [AASA] really trying to make the racing keep flowing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a few that you could argue that probably could do a bit more than just a yellow card.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not like a yellow card and then you get a sin bin, it\u2019s like a yellow card and you just keep playing on.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not in the judicial box, but I felt like we were hard done by yesterday because then it really brought us back into the pack.\u201d<\/p>\n
