Biography
Chaz Mostert's career is a narrative of explosive speed and hard-won redemption. He burst onto the Supercars scene not with gradual fanfare, but with a stunning, against-all-odds victory at the Bathurst 1000 in 2014 as a co-driver, instantly marking him as a special talent. The years that followed were a mix of blistering pace and frustrating setbacks, including a serious crash that threatened his career. Mostert's resilience, however, proved as potent as his right foot. A pivotal team switch revitalized his trajectory, allowing his raw aggression to be tempered by strategic maturity. This evolution culminated in a commanding drive to the 2025 Supercars Championship, a title that finally cemented his status as a complete and formidable force. Behind the wheel, Mostert is all attacking verve and relentless pressure, a driver who forces every lap to bend to his will, making him one of the most compelling figures in Australian motorsport.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Chaz was born in 1992, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
