Zane Goddard and Jake Kostecki are locked in to represent Matt Stone Racing (MSR) in the All Stars division of Supercars Eseries.

The pair will alternate rounds throughout the series, with Kostecki set for the Bathurst Enduro round in week 5.

Both took part in the inaugural Supercars All Stars Eseries, achieving podium race finishes respectively.

In the 2020 Pro Eseries Goddard represented the Supercars drivers along with Shane van Gisbergen.

Triple Eight driver and current Supercars leader van Gisbergen had success on the screen, winning Race 12 at Charlotte Motor Speedway last series.

MSR is also entering the Pro Gamer division of the competition, announcing Andrew Gilliam as their representative.

Gilliam is well known to the sim racing scene and won the senior category of the 2020 MSR Challenge.

The virtual racer also performed well in the 2020 Supercars Pro Eseries, collecting five top 5 finishes, a podium and a win, finishing ninth in the overall championship standings.

Gilliam competes regularly with Pursuit Sim Racing, who he joined in 2018.

The gamer was excited to collaborate with professional drivers Kostecki and Goddard.

“I’m really looking forward to coming in and especially being able to drive with Jake at Bathurst will be a really cool and awesome experience,” Gilliam said.

“Getting to know the team in the workshop and being able to do some testing with Zane and Jake as they begin their preparation as well will be great.”

Supercars All Stars Eseries starts Wednesday August 25 and will run for six weeks.

Events will be held weekly on the iRacing platform.

Gilliam will be competing for the $26,500 prize pool up for grabs in the Pro Gamer division of the Championship, including a $10,000 prize for the winner.

All Eseries events will be broadcast live on Fox Sports 506, Kayo, 7Plus and streamed on Supercars’ Twitch, Facebook, and YouTube channels.
