2010 V8 Supercars Gold Coast Race2

The closing laps of the 2010 Australian V8 Supercar race from The Gold Coast. Jamie Whincup and Shane Van Gisbergen go door to door for the closing laps of this race. It's one of the best of the season.

[@SEAN518848]

This is the kind of video that should be in the core curriculum for auto enthusiasts.

[@directclutchservices9216]

OMG Jamie's ability to stay cool, despite all of that pressure! Amazing driving and self control

[@plaqueconspiracy]

This is fucking intense. I think I might start following this. Somehow.

[@lincooln]

This still gives me goosebumps watching it even now.

[@FireflyActual]

That was, without a doubt, the most exciting bit of racing I've seen since the days of BTCC Supertourers. In-frickin'-credible! Now I have to find a way to watch V8 Supercars here in Europe.

[@littleteethkeith]

This is the all around best racing series on Earth. I won't debate it.

[@littleteethkeith]

Máté Ágoston What's better? Don't say F1 because those new pussy engines sound like my grandfathers 1992 Chevy Lumina.

[@littleteethkeith]

Máté Ágoston Weak.

[@littleteethkeith]

Máté Ágoston Weak. Buh bye.

[@gixx3r]

Totally awesome, fantastic racing. Cheers from the USA

[@plportero2599]

NASCAR and V8 was great! nice driving, nice control of the car vamos que ha sido una pasada de carrera

[@stu1x69]

Amazing racing, Wincups a legend in motorsport. V8 supercars are an exciting series every year.

[@Mish93Will]

Reminds me of touring car racing of the 90's (getting the cars on two wheels over the curbs!!!) which was one of the best eras in motorsport...but truly one of (if not) the best Touring car series in the world!

[@jraybay]

Really enjoyed v8 supercars from 2010 to 2014

[@julianmx13]

This racing series looks sweet. I love watching NASCAR, but I'm going to be watching this too from now on.

[@alexanderpannu2598]

One of the best endings to a race for a long time

[@chriz00]

@Winterfang Technically you're right ...but, if you could imagine what is at stake here and put yourself in the shoes of one of these drivers ...then you'd get it. I love watching these battles, whether it be F1 or V8 Supercars, I always get a chill down my spine when watching them. Especially that last bit where they went through the corner together and the Ford was leading for a bit ...EPIC!!

[@OfficialWhatsGood]

Holy shit! Absolutely amazing. I miss V8 Supercars so much!

[@fjbutch]

ONE OF THE BEST FINISHES FOR A LONG TIME...LOVE IT !!!

[@Jvdx]

Sick driving, especially at the end. very thrilling.

[@SRAMEK]

Shane is really good a future champion. He adaptation to Holden was very fast and the way he drives is spectacular. Lowndes fan.

[@ray.shoesmith]

Fair call tbh 👏

[@jpocali]

I don't care who you are, where you are from, or what you drive, that was some good racing right there!

[@razbaybee8336]

6 years later, top 2 are teammates, Winterbottom and Courtney Swap REC owners

[@naracer]

@gggromay The race was at Surfers Paradise, they were meant to imitate Speedos from what I could tell. But yeah I agree it looked funny...

[@DOJIELDIENVE]

To be so evenly matched at the end of an event like this is rare then add the shear skill courage and determination of each of the 3 drivers and neither falling under the pressure. Matching, blocking, bumping on the last 3 laps. Just great racing, don't matter what type of racing you like. Though for me it makes it better that these are V8s.

[@gmanbeavis]

This was amazing. I wish I would've started watching these in 2010 instead of last year... I wish I could've seen this live

[@MozzarellaCheese69]

@SpecialAndNotDumb Your country is in recession, your comments automatically mean nothing, good day.

[@Dryzaum]

Nice fight at the end. Really epic.

[@dabooda49]

Everyone on the planet was going for van gisbergan

[@bf-sq4sj]

No

[@sashagluyas1207]

Oh man

[@308V8HZ]

I get goosebumps every 3 weeks !!!

[@Yago174]

i dont even know any of the drivers n im on the edge of my seat

[@extrakid12]

This is so much more entertaining than F1. I would love watching this on television! And yea, FIA are you watchin?

[@FirstnameLastname-zk3ne]

Holden For The !@#$%&@ Win

[@PapaBaush]

at the end there when Matt White reckons he thinks he's seen it all...well The Giz gave him something else at the end of last year with the med car massage lol. great battle here by both. bring on COTF

[@Lyricoholic]

its something like touringcar racing? i watched this allways at motors-tv (cause here in germany nobody knows that races)

[@A2EReviews]

I just love all forms of racing. Le Mans, Formula 1, Touring Cars, V8 Supercars, Stock Cars, Rally, it's all very cool.

[@BadBoyClub]

Whincup meh

[@bitsracer6785]

Channel 10 and Foxtel do not give you the same enjoyment as Channel 7, Like their Camera Angles they had. The Rear wing cam and the front bumper cam, my favirote way to look at battles cause you can see how close the drivers where to each over. keeps you on the edge of your seat.

[@chrisdash83]

These two commentators are fairly good, from a german motorsport enthusiast's point of view.

[@TwizztidAngel]

I never said anything about someone or group of people being stupid. I lived in Germany and there are not many people that feel americans are stupid. Though they do think that we are far to arrogant for our own good (i agree to an extent). But I do find it interesting how the F1 drivers think Nascar drivers have amazing tallent for the fact they drive in highly unstable cars inches from each other at speeds between 170 and 190 on a regular basis. Its the fans that dont like them.

[@zgibs4]

ahahaha i say "man" to much okay well there are hardly any flies in Australia i doubt you have even been here because if you had you would know that is nice laid back and would know that there are hardly any flies maybe if you go to farms but you can go to any farm and there will be flies.Holden is owed by General Motors. V8 supercars is so much better then NASCAR, almost all of the races are this close and existing. Also American muscle is bad European cars are good such as Audi, BMW Mercadies

[@DocWolph]

@3nasacova I saw those articles. They are generally discounted by other more numerous and credible articles saying the next Falcon and Mustang WILL share the same platform, RWD, IRS, V8s, etc. Further, in the US, The Falcon's platform may underpin a new RWD (Finally) Lincoln sport luxury sedan. FORD is pretty fixed on the Taurus as is and Lincoln is undergoing a major overhaul.

[@37PSI_EVO]

To all the Americans that think this is boring and not exciting, I would love to see your precise little Nas Car drivers to do this, V8 Super Car's is much harder then you think, and if you think you can drive a V8 super car yourself, Try and drive on Bathurts track and then when you say "HOLY SHIT IT'S HARD" You will give us a break and say wow it's got nothing to do with Nas Car, Because you just drive in a Circle....

[@is_fpr5f1]

13 years later Jamie Whincup is the team principal of the team he drove for and SVG (car 9) drives at JW's team

[@308V8HZ]

I saw a set of tyres ready to go on a car at Bathurst with the words - R.I.P QUEEN - written in chalk on them , pretty damn cool !!!

[@Broncofivepointslow]

Lol as an American who came here to watch racing that I genuinely enjoy, why do I have to find insults to Americans in the top comments? Everytime anything from another country is involved everyone has to say how terrible America is. I'm enjoying part of your culture and not insulting anyone so why must everyone else always insult my country?

[@RRVCrinale]

@BRAD123FUN I wouldn't have. Nothing was gained or lost by them driving through, and attempting to throw themselves through the chicane would have resulted in a crash. But I know all that bumping from behind would have had other officials up in arms. It just happens in V8 Supercars and they go on. Awesome.

[@therrydicule]

@Sehre Being close on road racing is different than being close on oval, and rather... In Nascar, it happen quit often that one car up front for a while and than being overtakes to be forgotten in the pack after the mid-race... Because it is an endurance test and some are racing slower than they could to save the car. Here, there is a consistent show.

[@SimplyJoeboe]

@Winterfang If you are that apathetic towards this video then you either 1. Don't know much about motorsports 2. Don't understand how incredibly skilled both of these men are 3. Don't enjoy watching racing 4. A combination of the above Not meant to be an insult, I just don't see how it's possible to care about cars and motorsports and not enjoy this.

[@MarcoMcNuggets]

fantastic !

[@cancerousKeebs]

I really dislike the "thumbs up" requests in posts. If a post is good, people with give it a thumbs up, don't ask for it. It makes you seem desperate. On a side note, V8 Supercars has some of the best racing in the world, and this video proves it ten times over.

[@robertneale7326]

@ SpecialAndNotDumb, you're a funny one. I'm not going to get sucked in to your comments. Especially from the false sense of toughness from behind your computer screen. But the NASCARS are soo far removed from the vehicles they are supposed to be representing, that they lose a lot of character.

[@robertneale7326]

WOW... You talk so much about other people hiding behind their computer screen, but what are you doing? And if this guy here is soo insignificant, enough for you to say so much so that youre not even worried about him, you sure put a lot of effort into responding to him... Why so angry?

[@The.only.one.that.matters.]

@Sehre Oh there going fast and turning left and another left guess what they r turning left again NASCAR CAN not touch this any day of the week ROAD RACING RULES NASCAR IS FOR FOOLS !! These guy need to bring this to CANADA I Flag for SCCA and this is some good door to door racing !

[@MattA1GP]

@rdlx3m Sprint Cup races at Watkins Glen and Infineon, the N'Wide series runs at Watkins Glen, Road American, and Montreal(yes, that Formula One track). Oh, and the Nationwide guys have raced at Montreal in the rain twice, yes with rain tires and windscreen wipers. Ignorance is amazing.

[@TheFarngathen]

First, you can not compare that type of serie as V8 supercar with the nascar in USA. Those super car were not race in oval track ,they are made for road race circuit only. Is it enough clear for you,Nascar is 10 sec off in the same track of those one,may be more so.....

[@TwizztidAngel]

Yea I dont know what happend with that last bit, I realized I went off in left feild on the conversation after I posted it and just said fuck it. Hell I am not sure where the conversation is going. I think I took one of my pain pills that night...

[@eaglesdood16]

@Sehre nascar is super close because all the cars are identical and the track is a circle. this take so much more skill to keep the racing close its not even worth mentioning nascar in the same sentence. thats why its so much more exciting to watch.

[@DocWolph]

I stopped being a NASCAR fan in the late 1990's, right after FORD discontinued the MN12 Thunderbird. I want TRANS-AM BACK (the car, too)! That was the best American Auto Racing. We got the cars now and generations of prospective fans in waiting in the wings.

[@Numbah893]

@SkwerlStyle yea way better than nascar.nascar you are just taking a left turn then another left turn and you keep taking left turns. racing like the australian v8 supercars and other race car series are way better.road racing wins against oval racing

[@MyMakkun]

brilliant!! Very very good drivers!

[@ender330]

people who dont like racing havent seen this. what a great racing series.

[@mdr279]

@RIEKSONE nascar on a road course is sloppy as fuck. You'd swear with all the money poured into the sport they'd be able to make well sorted cars. I have no doubts in saying that the V8 supercars are quicker on a road course.

[@LarsHavelte]

I don't understand why V8 Supercars is being compared to Nascar all the time. I mean, they have nothing to do with each other. Other forms of road racing, like the WTCC, GT1 WC and so on are much more like V8SC.

[@Sehre]

Clearly a lot of people have never watched NASCAR and don't realize it's consistently the closest action motorsport around. Nearly every race is this close, the whole league was designed to be this close every time.

[@robertneale7326]

but there was something gained and lost. Vangisbergen had that corner, Whincup didnt yield. But Whincup came out the other side infront...How is that not an advantage?

[@robertneale7326]

NASCARs just dont look right on a road track. Its like they just dont have the knowledge to set the cars up properly, but they sure know how to set up an oval racer...

[@Sehre]

@rdlx3m Who said anything about turns? Thanks for being at all relevant, try again later champ. P.S, the exclamation point is not a substitute for a space.

[@RBFR01]

When they went 2 wide into the chicane Shane backed off but Jamie kept it full throttle thats why he got in the front, both should have kept it flat to the floor threw it but that rule they have with passing after missing that I guess it would be in one of the drivers favors.

[@zgibs4]

ahahaha i say "man" to much okay well there are hardly any flies in Australia, and Holden is owed by General Motors. V8 supercars is so much better then

[@asshatnowhere159]

@RIEKSONE idk man. i kind of like nascar but on road courses it's just too sloppy in my opinion. this seems so much more precise and fierce

[@idnageol]

AFTER 12 HOURS!!!!!! IN 12 HOURS OF SEBRING 2007 FERRARI V.S PORSCHE!!!!!! THIS IS A REAL VIDEO!!!!! SEARCH IN KZbin AS "12 HOURS OF SEBRING!

[@naracer]

@gggromay The race was at Surfers Paradise, they were meant to imitate Speedos from what I could tell. But yeah I agree it looked funny...

[@naracer]

[@gcdasto]

LOL @ guy talking nascar is that good, sorry but only turn left isn't awesome like this... in V8 they need to be that awesome to handle the pressure for 10 laps...

[@SelbySavidge]

@Sehre Saying NASCAR has as good action as V8 Supercars is like saying a merry-go-round is just as exciting as a roller coaster.

[@R34GTRR35]

This racing is shit boring in Australia , its lame lets stop the racing or change the format and bring some real cars in !

[@Petrucciisgod123]

@Sehre Clearly NASCAR is a circle and is boring. These cars are pretty much built to kill you every time you drive one.

[@gggromay]

why the hell would they want to simulate red underwear over their driving suits? that looks weird, like superman

[@keynotedude]

If NASCAR had corners like this, it would be a whole lot more interesting, otherwise it's just tedious going round and round in circles.

[@quasiphatpaul]

I love NASCAR and F1. But I love all motorsports equally and think arguing over which is best is for wankers.

[@YUBU8]

its funny how nascar haters feel the need to comment on nascar HERE on a v8 supercars video wow never knew it was THAT popular lol

[@mathsalv]

pega do bão!

[@robertneale7326]

Id be surprised to find someone who doesnt like road/circuit racing, as opposed to oval track racing.

[@zgibs4]

Dude chill out man and how racist do you want to be man there is not even many flies in Australia man,

[@Hackzoid]

holy fuck that was intense. awesome driving. can someone tell me where did the race take place? name of the city.

[@DarkMikaruX]

Best race finish in history! Only thing that comes close is this one! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKOxpZWXgsaXjpY

[@ftghb]

man, this is some awesome racing....i live in the states and Ive gotta say....the racing is totally better than nascar. this is true stock car racing

[@heeeeeeeyyyyyyyyy]

wait till you hear one in person. best Sounding cars..after top door slammers of course.

[@guxplod]

@NinjajoeIsBallin NASCAR is NASCAR. Gotta like it. but this race really was incredible.

[@martiner]

wooow Ford touches his nose to holden's tail! but Holden is too fast at straight line.

[@cossaintnick]

bumper to bumper in a right hand turn you don't get that in nascar. v8 supercar FTW

[@yehgiddaymate]

yes i agree nascar isnt racing sorry,but gizzy boy great racing mate bring 2011 on?

[@FOne_Fan]

@NinjajoeIsBallin I agree 110%. This is some of the best racing I have EVER seen.

[@KingMatto]

@Sehre They're only that close because they don't race like V8's, theres a caution every 2 laps

[@JBofBrisbane]

@Dimitri0809 - That's because they're bloody heavy compared to "real" racing cars.

[@Christoffski]

Best wheel to wheel racing series on Earth.

[@CarverSTi]

@TheChubaka3000 I'm American and the only notes I take a rally notes. ;) Rally America FTW.

[@cv8z231]

At 4:20 on the main straight is that someone on the track on the LHS of screen??

[@mdfk667]

Import these great championship to Europe, at least for a couple of races!

[@TheChiliLime]

So the difference between this and WTCC is in this one cars is more heavy?)

[@PaulRobinsonRacing]

and yet in saying that here you are watching Australian V8Supercars.... enough said
