Kurt Kostecki

Kurt Michael Kostecki (born 4 July 1998) is an Australian racing driver of Ukrainian descent.

[1] In December 2014, Kostecki became one of the youngest people to drive a V8 Supercar when, at the age of 16, he debuted in the Dunlop Series support race for the Sydney 500 for MW Motorsport.

His season lasted four rounds, but with a best result of 14th he stepped down from the drive to focus on school studies and was replaced with privateer Phil Woodbury.

The Kostecki family purchased two Gen2 Holden VF Commodore chassis from Triple Eight Race Engineering (who Kurt worked for as a third mechanic), running Kurt and brother Jake from 2016 onwards.

His fortunes improved with six top 10 finishes (including two 4th placings) and 16th in the championship.
