The stats that highlight Erebus' stunning form reversal

Few teams have been on a rollercoaster ride in 2024 quite like Erebus Motorsport, which after a horror start to the year, is in line to salvage some pride in the teams' championship.

The reigning champions have hit top form in recent weeks, with Brodie Kostecki dominating the Repco Bathurst 1000 and Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 finale.

Only Triple Eight Race Engineering (1026 points) and Tickford Racing (903) scored more across Bathurst and Gold Coast than Erebus, which would have split the two teams had Jack Le Brocq had better luck.

Le Brocq missed out on a top four in Bathurst after an ill-timed Safety Car, before he hit the wall on lap 1 in the Surfers opener.

Triple Eight, Tickford and Erebus have left behind their rivals in recent rounds, with an erroneous Walkinshaw Andretti United scoring just 573 points, ahead of Penrite Racing and PremiAir Nulon Racing.

Dick Johnson Racing has totalled 495 points over the last two rounds, with team boss Dr Ryan Story lamenting the team's inability to challenge for wins this season. Ironically, DJR will use Erebus-build chassis in 2025, the first year of Kostecki's deal with the Ford team.

Behind them are Team 18 (483), Brad Jones Racing's #8/#14 crew (480), Matt Stone Racing (471), the second BJR crew (456) and Blanchard Racing Team (342).

After the headline-heavy start to the year, Erebus couldn't match its 2023 title-winning form, waiting until three rounds into Kostecki's comeback to secure its first podium of the year in Darwin.

The team did sit as high as third in the standings in New Zealand, Kostecki's first round, before the struggles set in.

Where a Sandown podium and Le Brocq fightback looked to get Erebus back towards the top four, a DNF and last clash saw the Chevrolet squad total just 90 points, plummeting to 10th overall.

On the leaderboard, it seemed Erebus had hit its nadir, only to crush the Great Race and jump to eighth. Another win for Kostecki catapulted the team to sixth, its highest standing since New Zealand, and just 156 points behind fourth-placed Penrite Racing with 576 to win in Adelaide.

Despite losing Kostecki to DJR in 2025, Erebus CEO Barry Ryan is determined to leave behind the "shitfight" of the start of the season and "smash" the final two races in Adelaide.

“It's just been a bit of a momentum shift in the last three or four months. Everybody's happy and excited to be racing again,” Ryan said after Kostecki won the Gold Coast finale.

“We had a mission to win Bathurst as soon he stepped back in the car before New Zealand, that was the focus, and he smashed that.

“We are hoping to smash the next two races too.”

The 2024 Repco Supercars Championship will conclude at the VAILO Adelaide 500 from November 14-17. Tickets for the event are on sale now.
