Brodie Kostecki has confirmed his departure from Erebus Motorsport following an off-season contract dispute and will drive for Dick Johnson Racing from 2025.

Reigning Supercars champion Brodie Kostecki has split from Erebus Motorsport and will drive for Dick Johnson Racing from 2025.

Kostecki will share the garage with two-time Bathurst winner Will Davison after current DJR driver Anton De Pasquale announced his move to Team 18 this week.

Thursday's news comes after months of speculation Kostecki would leave Erebus following an off-season contract dispute.

"I am excited to join the Shell V-Power Racing Team, a team with such a rich history of success," Kostecki said in a statement.

"This partnership represents a new chapter for me, and I look forward to working alongside Will and the entire team."

After clinching a maiden driver and teams championship for Erebus last season, Kostecki failed to race at Bathurst and Melbourne because of a messy dispute with Erebus.

Kostecki returned to the driver's seat in New Zealand, in a surprise development considering how frayed the relationship seemed.

The nature of the dispute is still unknown.

Kostecki sits 23rd in the championship, winning just one podium in 12 races this year.

"Brodie is one of the top drivers in the series and we're excited to bring him on board the Shell V-Power Racing Team," team founder Dick Johnson said.

"He's an impressive young man and I've certainly got a soft spot for anyone who has as much mechanical sympathy and understanding of the car as he does."
