Chaz Mostert, Sebastian Vettel, Valtteri Bottas and Hayden Paddon on the list of confirmed starters.<\/a><\/p>\nKostecki was a late call-up to compete in the Sydney event last March, teaming with Brown to put Australia in the Nations Cup final.<\/p>\n
Mostert meanwhile excelled in the individual competition, finishing runner-up to nine-time World Rally champion Sebastien Loeb.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had such a good time at ROC in 2025, and having Will and Chaz there made it even better,\u201d said Kostecki.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe go at it hard enough in Supercars, so getting to race them again in something completely different was a lot of fun. I jumped at the chance to be part of it again.<\/p>\n
\u201cWellington\u2019s a new challenge, and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing what the track throws at us, and to going wheel-to-wheel with some of the best drivers in the world again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brown is also relishing a return to the fun-filled event, which will this time be held on a purpose-built tarmac circuit inside Wellington\u2019s Hnry Stadium.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was one of the best weekends I\u2019ve had outside of Supercars, and getting to go racing with Brodie there was a highlight \u2013 we\u2019re rivals enough as it is on a Supercars weekend, so being teammates again on a track neither of us really knows was a different kind of fun,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cGetting the call to come back was an easy yes. Wellington looks like an incredible venue, and I can\u2019t wait to line up again alongside a field like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
