Mostert Runner Up at 2025 Race Of Champions in Sydney

Mostert, a two-time Bathurst 1000 winner and class winner at the Spa 24-hour and Daytona 24-hour, was a late replacement in the ROC event for Swedish driver Mattias Ekström who had to withdraw on medical grounds.
 
He joined Johan Kristoffersson in a special Team All Stars squad for last night’s ROC Nations Cup before tonight’s individual Champion of Champions battle.

 
Mostert showed his versatility to overcome F1 star Valtteri Bottas and NASCAR Champion Kurt Busch in the opening group races.
 
He then went head-to-head with four-time German Formula 1 World champion Sebastian Vettel and beat him by 0.37 of a second in a Subaru BRZ tS before clinching a semi-final spot with a win in a Supercar Lite Rallycross car.
 
That win put him in the semi-final against reigning Supercars champion Will Brown, guaranteeing that an Australian would be in the final.

 
Brown had won his way into the semi-final after two quarter final race wins against former world F2 champion and F1 driver, Mick Schumacher.
 
Mostert beat Brown by 0.14 of a second in a Polaris RZR in heat one and 0.24 of a second in the FC2 Rallycross car in heat two.

Loeb took the early advantage in the final when he beat Mostert to the line by just 0.27 of a second in the opening heat in a Polaris RZR and then wrapped up the “best of three” contest with a 0.16-second winning margin in the FC2 Rallycross cars.
