As the closing stages of the 2022 Logitech G pro invitational series Bathurst 1000 heated up, Two drivers in particular took the battle to new heights.
Lap 158 was one of the talking points of the race with contact between Brady Meyers & Brodie Kostecki bringing many opinions post race. The final restart commenced on lap 153, leaving 9 laps to get the job done. From the moment green flag racing resumed the battle between Kostecki & Meyers was on!
Everything came unstuck for the SSR and TTR spearheads on the exit of the chase on lap 158, Brady on the offence managed to obtain overlap on the exit of turn 21 which lead to both drivers being side by side for turn 22. Brady on the inside ran door to door with Brodie, slight contact on exit saw Brodie find himself with 2 wheels in the grass.
With this intense battle coming to a head, contact continued to follow with both drivers not willing to give a inch. This allowed TTR’s Madison down to capitalise on the situation along with Ethan Grig-Gault. Madison charged through to take control of second followed by Brady.
What the TTR duo couldn’t see was the out of control Brodie Kostecki who was clashing with ERT’s Grigg-Gault. As both cars neared the braking zone battling to maintain their positions contact was made, firing the #99 SSR/Boost Mobile Racing Commodore through the grass on approach to the final corner. Brodie became a complete passenger spearing directly into the door of Meyers narrowly missing the second placed car of Maddison down.Both cars made the tyre barrier on the outside of the final corner resulting in severe damage but we’re able to complete all of the 161 laps.
Brady and Brodie will both definitely be ruing the missed opportunity to take a step on the Bathurst podium finding themselves finishing 7th (Brady) and 11th (Brodie) respectively.
With only 2 rounds remaining in the inaugural 2022 Logitech G pro Invitational Series which driver will conquer their rival? Will Brodie strike back with race winning form? Or will Brady show his grit and determination to come out on top? Tune in on the 16th of November for the penultimate round of the championship to see Brady Meyers and Brodie Kostecki resume their battle!
