2014 Bathurst 12 Hour - Shane Van Gisbergen vs Bernd Schneider & Mika Salo - Epic Battle

[@ReprogrammedToHate]

After SVG's win in chicago this appeared on my recommended section, i didn't know he raced against Mika Salo !!!!!!!!!!!! OMFG

[@Xav1ez]

The entire 12 hours of the race was well worth watching, best racing I've seen ever.

[@dukeallen432]

Only 6 hours of racing. 6 hours of feel good people reaction waste of time. Arghhhh. Is great racing.

[@RandomDuude]

3:08 I must admit, those little fiats are faster than I thought they would be

[@wendigockel]

Two touring car legends from two different eras duking it out on track without contact. And then they both got overtaken by one of the most underrated F1 drivers of all time. What a race!

[@SaintKimbo]

Great clip, but why are all these racing car Directors so obsessed with those lame pit crew 'reaction' shots ?? They all do it, Le Mans coverage is just insane for it, continuously showing shots of bored looking pit crews who just want to see what's going on, like the rest of the viewers, it's gotten out of hand. EIGHT times in a 5:21 clip we get to see pit crews sitting around, instead of car racing !!!!

[@Rally4Life1982]

Now that is racing.

[@scottcoulter2751]

The 12 hour is the best race on the calendar hands down!

[@abhibeckert]

That's the thing about SVG. He can keep a car under control even when he's pushing the car way beyond what it should be capable of. Well over 200km/h with all four wheels on the grass and he barely even slowed down, let alone crash. I think that was a safe overtake he attempted on the Ferrari, he was far enough forward on corner entry that in a V8SC race the Ferarri would have been black flagged for illegal blocking. The corner at the top of mountain straight can be taken flat and there's plenty of room to pass a slow care side by side. SVG did it on the previous lap with another car. If the car overtaking you can get up on your inside on the grass and still have enough grip to avoid crashing you out, then the Ferrari definitely had enough grip to take a wide line through the corner.

[@speedymouse2859]

Abhi Beckert Yeah he had the gap, Salo just turned down on him like a wanker

[@petertimowreef9085]

+Abhi Beckert That corner is not flat what are you talking about. If you go flat you get launched over the rise and you'll never get down fast enough to steer in. Maybe in quali. And anyway it was a dumb place to attempt a move by Gisbergen. Yes Salo was in the wrong, but Gisbergen should've known that that place is very dangerous to overtake and that there is always a chance the guy won't see him and shuts the door. A black flag for Salo isn't gonna get Gisbergen back in the race should they collide. A complete driver knows this and wouldn't have risked crashing the car and screwing over his entire team. But Gisbergen is young so I guess he's got plenty of time to calm down.

[@Naptic]

+Abhi Beckert being he was lead lap the Ferrari would of been getting a blue flag and was ment to be letting him past.

[@aaronhunter6049]

I think Salo should have opened his eyes. He was on cold tyres, had SVG right behind him across skyline and the blue flags are waving - So get out of the way! Also these cars are not V8 Supercars, so they actually handle well and do things that would be crazy in the V8's.

[@rickybramham3693]

They have v8 engines, just more aerodynamically sound

[@MichaelLutz]

Love these cars and racing action. Real racing! I hope F1 doesn't destroy itself with the BS they pulled in recent years (especially 2014)

[@vidtrax662]

Was going to post similar comment. So +1 for you.

[@Bamwich]

VID Trax Yet he has 0 +1's haha

[@mattromanes]

The22yardstare LOL nope

[@mattromanes]

I find WEC and Le Mans more entertaining than this. I'd still watch F1

[@WildWildWeasel]

"MP12-4C" Really mate? smh

[@jayjay3013]

@Cruz Jude what is it

[@Feuerbasis]

Schneider never made it in F1..but he always performed VERY well in anything else :-) He ´s around for decades now!

[@korranbado]

Ils sont fous ces australiens... Courses et bagarres magnifiques. C'est autre chose que les courses de F1 qui sont devenues d'un ennui absolu où il ne se passe rien ou pas grand chose. Faire cohabiter des Fiat 500 (fussent-elles Abarth) avec des Supercar de 500 ou 600 CV c'est juste dingue. Mais quel spectacle et quel circuit magnifique !! Le Bathurst est vraiment une merveille.

[@HowYaGoin.88]

Except he’s from New Zealand, not Australia

[@korranbado]

@@HowYaGoin.88 Je parle de la course de Bathurst en général, pas des pilotes dont je ne connais généralement ni le nom ni la nationalité même si, je l'admets, les plus fous sont les pilotes.

[@HowYaGoin.88]

@@korranbadooh right sorry my bad 😅!

[@jaredtallott9950]

Murphy got some worry on his shoulder With SVG up for contention for being best NZL circuit racer. Mate the way the car shakes around at the corners at 200kmh Plus is Either the car beyond the Limit Or Van Gisbergens Astonishing Car Control. Fantastic driver!

Never gets old SVG beast mode

[@efeick2002]

what TV service can i get that will show more races like this? i have velocity but its pretty boring shows 90% of the time

[@Bamwich]

Google. "Australian Motorsport Coverage"

[@DashHoundRacing]

V8s Superview. You get qualifying and every race for a steal $/race.

[@89me11]

LOL. Watches 5:00 highlight reel of a 12:00:00 race and then complains about other motorsport being comparatively boring for 90% of the time... Sorry, I do actually understand where you're coming from - Bathurst is a great track, GT cars have the best engines, and these are arguably some of the best (certainly most prolific) drivers in the world. It just made me laugh a little, of course 12 hours' worth of racing in 5 minutes is going to look pretty exciting :)

[@efeick2002]

why cant there just be an awesome channel that shows racing like this all day..

[@tylersim9025]

Eric F Australian V8 super cars, heaps of crazy kiwis and aussies.

[@cptvane3439]

Gizzys Adrenaline must've been going off, fukn love it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Knite_13]

Why are there Fiats?

[@jacobholgate9212]

Multiple classes are racing at once.

[@koraxi8958]

I think there are 4 classes in total, the fastest being the FIA GT3 cars. Multi class racing thats just how it's done in long distant racing there is always a battle on track, but they tend to focus on the GT3's a bit much at bathurst 12 hours I find we don't really get to see other battles in the other classes but rather just word of mouth during the races

[@ferrariandersen]

Do you have a recording of the following pitstop where SVG and Schneider pits at the same time?

[@Unk87327]

I Searched Bathurst 12 Hrs Drift, And I Found This Video.

[@agustincaffer4463]

Que categoría es ????

[@SimonWorlds]

That's the way you drive in a 10 lap sprint, not a 12 hour race, It looked great for the spectators, but definitely a move I wouldn't have called very wise.

[@paulswain635]

Giz had his nose in front of Salo's A-Pillar, thats a fair move, racing room required. nothing wrong with that.

[@yommish]

it’s more of a stupid move than a dirty one

[@thethirdman225]

“Bad decision making… a low percentage move.” I agree. He’s a fast guy and I don’t think anyone questions that. Salo was no threat to him, especially since Schneider had clearly backed off.

[@iqbal610]

there's a FIAT right there

[@donatobianco8226]

That lil Fiat musta shit himself hahahaha

[@FordFalconAu]

@Abhi No way could the Ferrari have gone wide onto skyline at mcphillamy 2 reasons, he had cold tyres on and there is a lot of marbles on the outside around there and it curves around a lot more than it looks. But I do think Salo turned in on him, had he kept the steering open a touch long Shane would have been able to sneak through or at least to side by side. Just my opinion. But I must say what a great race this was, the battles were unbelievable. I don't like Shane but the bloke can drive and he puts on a good race that's for sure. Well done maranello motorsport as well. Great work by everyone. BRING ON 2015

[@PeatCowman]

Yep, that was confirmed when the Lambo tried to let them pass up there. Got wide, Big crash.

[@kylewaddington1983]

Real Supercars thankyou

[@xThisGameRx]

Wow gizzy risky moves there

[@petertimowreef9085]

Two exceptional drivers. I'm especially impressed by Schneider, he's the one under massive pressure. Ha! And then he says: meh I've got 7 hours to go, this guy looks like he's about to crash, let's back off for a bit. What a pro.

[@bremCZ]

Would be a boring race to watch if everyone did that.

[@petertimowreef9085]

Brem G Racing is about controlled aggresion.

[@bremCZ]

Peter Timowreef Absolutely, but its a boring ass first half of a race if everyone just moves over because theres a long way to go. Endurance races use to be about getting the car to the end, which meant you couldnt just run flat out all the way, modern cars can and do just go flat out all the way and the drivers that win do the same.

[@petertimowreef9085]

Brem G Yea great isn't it? We sure are living in some excellent times for GT and endurance racing enthusiasts!

[@fatjay105]

looks like a good battle....

[@wrecklesSForce]

Epic racing highlight: *exists Every comment section: fuck F1

[@jasonkuy7100]

Svg and max verstappen are my favorite drivers

[@fabi57iamracer]

those drivers are top of the world

[@plebtile3347]

Why is there a Fiat racing on the same track at the same time as a Mclaren, Ferrari, Mercedes etc...

[@xXilisminusXx]

Because it's a multiclass race?

[@juhaimmonen]

Close doesnt count.

[@poxyute2037]

SVG was just letting Salo know he was there.

[@sergioquero9743]

absolutely the best car, that's why I always run in Iracing with McLaren. I love that car hahaha

[@deadgum11]

I gotta ask, why is the Ferrari 'racing' the mclaren when he's a lap down?

[@emstar85]

2:48 fiat 500

[@ack434]

Through the whole video I was just cringing at how the commentator mixed up the Mclaren's name.

[@MrNeoWizard]

WOW!

This shows both sides of the Giz, Half the time a driving god but the other half the time a complete nut case who shouldnt be on the track

[@alexwu8077]

+Nick P Salo should have gotten out of the bloody way, there were blue flags everywhere and he knowingly cut right into SVG's line despite the McLarens front being in front of the windscreen of the Ferrari.
