Special home for Erebus championship winner
By Thomas Miles
Date posted: 14 August 2024
The Chevrolet Camaro Brodie Kostecki steered to a famous Supercars Championship victory last year now has a special resting place.
In the gap between the Sydney and Tasmania rounds, Barry Ryan helped deliver the #99 Camaro to Erebus owner Betty Klimenko.
Kostecki’s championship winner will now take pride and place in Klimenko’s garage, along with a number of classic cars.
The Camaro remains in the same condition from when it took championship glory on the streets of Adelaide last year, with yellow numbers, the full Coca-Cola livery, championship signs and even some confetti.
The chassis called EM05 was retired after claiming the historic title.
Erebus hopes for more success at a track it enjoyed last year, Symmons Plains, this weekend.

It originated from the Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC), which held its first race in 1960 at Gnoo-Blas in Orange, New South Wales. The ATCC evolved over the years, and in 1997, it was rebranded as the V8 Supercars Championship, eventually becoming the Supercars Championship we know today.
Some of the leading drivers in the history of the Supercars Championship include Peter Brock, who is often referred to as the "King of the Mountain" for his nine victories at the Bathurst 1000, a race that is considered one of the biggest in the series. Other notable drivers include Dick Johnson, Marcos Ambrose, Craig Lowndes, Shane van Gisbergen, Jamie Whincup, who holds the record for the most championship titles, and Mark Skaife, who has also been a dominant force in the series.
The Bathurst 1000, held at Mount Panorama Circuit in Bathurst, New South Wales, is arguably the most famous race in the Supercars calendar. Other significant races include the Sandown 500 and the Adelaide 500, which are known for their challenging circuits and thrilling competitions.
