MOSTERT WINNING HOLDEN UP FOR AUCTION

Walkinshaw Andretti United have put Chaz Mostert’s Holden up for pre-sale auction.

The chassis, WR026, is the car that Mostert currently drives and used to score his first two wins since switching over to Holden, Race 8 at Symmons Plains and Race 12 at Hidden Valley Raceway earlier this year.

While the new owner won’t be able to take delivery of the car until the completion of the 2022 Supercars Championship, the team will also include the engine that Mostert along with co-driver Lee Holdsworth will use in this years Bathurst 1000 as part of the package.

“This is a rare and incredible opportunity to own a car that will go down in the Australia motorsport history books.” said Bruce Stewart.

“Not only is it the car in which Chaz Mostert took his first win for our team in, his first ever Supercars win in a Holden, but it’s also the last current generation car we will build.”

“It’s also the first time we are including an engine in the sale, which in itself is an incredible item to have the opportunity to own.”

“That means when the car is delivered to its new owner, there will be nothing more to do. It will be ready to turn a lap, or ready to display as it raced.”

“Chassis 26 has already achieved two wins this year, but there’s plenty of more opportunities to add more success, including the Bathurst 1000 this year when Chaz teams up with Lee Holdsworth, and that engine they use in the Great Race will be the one delivered to the new owner at the end of 2022.”

“The team at Lloyds Auctions do an amazing job, this car is part of a fantastic collection they are auctioning, and we can’t wait to see how it goes.”

According to the team, the car will come in full running condition, in the specification it competes in at the 2021 Bathurst 1000, and the new owner will be able to choose any livery the car runs in during either the 2021 or 2022 season.

Chassis WR026 made its debut at the opening round of this years Supercars Championship, the Mount Panorama 500, where Mostert scored two podium finishes over the two races.

It will also be the last Gen2 chassis built by the team before the switch to the Gen3 regulations, currently scheduled for midway through next season.
