v8 supercars shane van gisbergen

Shane van Gisbergen — SVG if you’re in the know — is the Kiwi who made Supercars look like his personal time-attack session.

He claimed the Supercars Championship in 2016, 2021, and 2022 with Triple Eight’s Red Bull Ampol Racing, blending tyre sorcery with late-brake heroics.

In 2023 he casually popped over to the US and won the NASCAR Chicago Street Race on debut, because apparently jet lag is a performance enhancer.

By 2024 he’d shifted focus to NASCAR programs stateside, but his Supercars legacy is the stuff of pit-wall heart palpitations and last-lap magic.
