Chaz Mostert has enjoyed a pain-free return to V8 Supercars, six months after a sickening crash at Bathurst.

The 23-year-old was back behind the wheel for the first time on Monday at Prodrive Racing's test day at Winton, since breaking his leg and wrist and suffering knee issues in a collision last October.

Mostert said he felt great in his new Ford Falcon FG X.

"I felt pretty comfortable in there, it's just like the old one," he said.

"The body held up really well. Super pumped for (the season-opening) Clipsal 500, I can't wait to get there."
