Doubt Cast on Erebus Team Assault Claims

A member of the Erebus Motorsport crew was allegedly assaulted while celebrating the team's victory at the Bathurst 1000, resulting in hospitalization. Initial reports from team members, including champions Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood, suggested that the crew member was attacked by race fans outside the Oxford Hotel. However, CCTV footage later revealed the engineer appeared to have injured himself, casting doubt on the assault claims. Despite the conflicting accounts, NSW Police are investigating the incident, and Erebus Motorsport has offered a reward for information. The Bathurst 1000 win was a significant achievement for Erebus, marking a comeback after a challenging season.
