Mostert received the medal at the Motorsport Australia Gala on Sunday night in Sydney, where he was also officially handed the Australian Touring Car Championship trophy.
According to MA, the Peter Brock medal represents ‘outstanding driver ability whilst displaying a fair and sportsperson like attitude, respect for authority, the ability to support, encourage and motivate their peers, and a willingness and capacity to promote the sport within the wider community’.
In his acceptance speech, Mostert explained that the example set by Brock in terms of fan interaction is something that has shaped his own career.
“I’m absolutely honoured to win this award,” said Mostert.
“Everyone in this room probably has a Brock story or an interaction. For me it was a long time ago, back to when I was a 12-year-old. I was racing karts at the time and had a weekend that finally didn’t [clash] to allow me to go Bathurst as a young fella and experience it for the first time.
“At that time I was barracking for the other brand, the Blue Oval brand, but I had a really good friend who took me there and he said, ‘we have to line up for Peter Brock, everyone here has to see Peter Brock. If you’re not going for that car, or you are, you’ve got to see him’.
“It was the first time I got to meet Peter and his [autograph] line was about three kilometres long.
“I could understand why it took so long to get to the table and meet him, because still to this day, more than any other driver I’ve ever met, he had the most amount of time for the fans.
“I stood at that table for a minute and we had a conversation back and forth, and he had people trying to rush him off to get back to go drive a race car, and all he cared about was the fans and the people who loved the sport that he loved so much.
“To this day I try my best to represent that. But he was one of a kind.”
Other winners at the Gala included WA Formula Ford and AU4 driver Jensen Marold, who took home Young Driver of the Year, rallying star Taylor Gill, who received the Sir Jack Brabham Award.
Sportscar ace Matt Campbell landed the Motorsport Australia Gold Star Award.
