The Walkinshaw TWG Racing driver spat his Dick Johnson Racing rival off the road on the penultimate lap of the fourth Supercars race at Ruapuna.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mostert was deemed to be at fault for the incident and was penalised<\/a>, which dropped him to 17th in the result.<\/p>\n

Kostecki labelled Mostert\u2019s act \u201cmalicious\u201d<\/a> while DJR co-owner Ryan Story said Mostert\u2019s comments in the aftermath of the incident were \u201cunbecoming of a reigning champion\u201d.<\/p>\n

In recent days, the two drivers were pictured together with Will Brown, Jackson Walls, Ryan Wood, and Kai Allen.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s understood all bar Kostecki were in Toowoomba for filming of the latest Supercheap Auto Best Performing Oils campaign.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Mostert spoke at a media call promoting Supercars\u2019 upcoming visit to Townsville in July.<\/p>\n

Asked about whether Mostert had buried the hatchet with Kostecki at the \u201cshindig\u201d hosted by Brown, last year\u2019s champion said he was keen to move on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess we\u2019ll find out at the next event,\u201d said Mostert.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike any driver, you reflect on past races and in the moment you would of course do a different scenarios or change your approach, and that\u2019s what I\u2019ve had to do from the last event and try and reflect on myself and reflect on what I would do differently.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo doubt, it wasn\u2019t the outcome I definitely wanted in New Zealand, which I\u2019ve been pretty open about. You never want to see any competitors go off the track in the way that did. That\u2019s all on me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to the next event and try qualify up there and get some more results for our team. We lost a lot of points over that one. Looking forward to it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrodie is a champion of our sport. He gives his all on and off [the track] and I\u2019ve got enormous respect for him and it was good to go see him after the event and hopefully put it behind us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brodie needed to make that pass and it\u2019s resulted in DRAMA between him and Brodie Kostecki!! #RepcoSC<\/a> #Sueprcars<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/fKX05OeXaG<\/a><\/p>\n

Mostert\u2019s brewing rivalry with Kostecki is the latest in a series of feuds between drivers.<\/p>\n

The animosity between Ryan Wood and Broc Feeney continues to bubble away behind the scenes after their Adelaide Grand Final run-in.<\/p>\n

Mostert said there has been a noticeable year-on-year increase in intensity, helped in part by the Finals Series.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think everyone with their helmets on, everyone\u2019s got a rivalry against someone,\u201d said Mostert.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt might not be so much talked about off track, but definitely from last year to this year I feel like our racing has really taken a gear.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the Finals format and cut-off lines and all that sort of stuff and focusing on all these different stories, no doubt all us drivers feel that pressure.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn those pressure moments it either makes you or breaks you.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s pretty cool that we have these elements to talk about in our series where previous years we\u2019re talking about one or two guys that might have to fight for the championship throughout the year. Now it\u2019s all unknown.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exciting, it\u2019s exhilarating, the drivers feel the pressure of the teams and that\u2019s all just coming out a bit more. Other than trying to add speculation and add rivalry, they\u2019re already there. We just probably don\u2019t necessarily talk about them so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Repco Supercars Championship resumes at Symmons Plains for the Tasmania Super440 on May 22-24.<\/p>\n
