Mostert and Wood crash out of Bathurst 1000
Walkinshaw TWG Racing drivers Ryan Wood and Chaz Mostert crashed in the Bathurst 1000.
Wood lost control of his Toyota Supra at Reid Park on lap 139 of 161 and hit a concrete wall.
He returned to the race and finished 24th with co-driver Jaxon Evans.
Mostert crashed at Forrest’s Elbow on lap 156, hitting a tyre barrier after clipping the inside wall.
He said he was lucky to hit the tyres rather than the concrete wall.

What people are saying
In the end when you are pushing hard, you can get unstuck pretty quickly around here and that’s what happened for me.
The hit was pretty big but I was lucky to hit the tyres not the concrete wall.
Just a big sorry to the crew and I’m really glad Chazzie is okay cause I know how it feels down there.
I’m gutted for our whole team, sponsors and fan support.
