The unusual sight of the Mustang-shod pair in Commodores is thanks to a precautionary decision from Walkinshaw Andretti United to not use its Gen3 cars at the ride day.

Instead, WAU is cycling its six-strong driver roster – Mostert and Wood, their enduro co-drivers Fabian Coulthard and Jayden Ojeda and Super2 regulars Matt Hillyer and Campbell Logan – through its two Super2 Holdens.
In a quirk of WAU’s impending switch to Toyota, Mostert and Wood could feasibly end up driving three different marques of Supercar in a single calendar year.
The team is currently developing the Supercars version of the Toyota Supra which will be formally unveiled on September 1 in Sydney, and debut next season.
The majority of Supercars teams are back running at QR for the sponsor day, following a full day of pre-enduro testing there yesterday.
