Kevin Harvick has a wonderful method of eliciting answers about driving from other drivers, this was a fantastic interview. Thank you!

He is a new man now. Loved watching him in V8's especially in the wet but he always seemed awkward with interviews.

[@jbrassic5434]

I reckon he'll be getting coaching for it, the media side is a huge component now. Americans love the camera, it's part of his job now.

Alot of pr control over what they want you to say and do in supercars. He said it after Chicago that he was taken a back by the freedom to interact with the media

Pride and talent can only go so far in todays motorsports. As SVG says, the technology is just about everything there is. Mind you this guy can drive the wheels off anything.

[@yffadkcud]

You’re an inspiration Shane God bless you

[@pagey007]

I am from NZ , Call me biased but that was an awesome interview , Go SVG 🙂

[@Hotrodclassic]

I really enjoy this guy racing in America ! Such a great attitude and talent ! That being said most of his fans are really over the top slamming most of the Nascar stars as some kind of hillbilly racers ..! There must be something in the water because yesterday some dude contacted me about how much he hates KYLE LARSON and hopes SVG MOPS THE FLOOR WITH LARSON in the next road course ? NOT SURE WHY HE CHOSE LARSON BUT….ANYWAYS SVG came here just in perfect time for several added road course races to the schedule and this will really help his points battle since his all out specialty is road racing !!! Ovals are a problem to all foreigners, but he’s doing great…! So don’t trash me KIWI’S ..LOL…😂🇺🇸🏁

[@ROWSELLTV]

I love conversation about foot work.. my 2 fav footcam videos ... shanes from chicago and kevins fancy foot work at Sonoma 2020

[@philipansell]

We new Marcus Ambrose never had the right team management and car set-up he needed. Let's hope Shane gets the right combo ongoing. Kevin Harvick was Mr.Smooth over the last 20 years. I am sure he will share his knowledge with our Shane!

[@alpeach9480]

Shane IS with the right team. !!

[@TheOneWhoMightBe]

Despite that, Marcus was always up near front on the super speedways. Just never quite had the luck to break through there.

Very good interview.

[@suedemays9046]

Great job Mr. Closer, you are a natural at this, great vibe. Great guest to. Keep on truckin brother, you got this.

[@crustydownunder]

Might be impressive tech, but Shane's living proof that you don't need all that tech to be a great driver! Sure, it might help a driver learn a track and a car a little faster, but in the end, you need a good driver and a good car. Same as always.

[@dannnsss8034]

SHANE'S lived a privileged upbringing. He went to St. Kentigern College (high school) in New Zealand, which is the best private highschool there (and costs a leg and arm). Glad to see him doing well.

@3:30 it's a matter of money, there just isn't enough of it in Supercars to utilise the technology that is available

He's right. They have progressively gotten slower

[@alpeach9480]

The best driver / car combination still wins.!

[@thequartersfooty]

One day, SVG is going to be like Kevin Harvick. Win the Championship in NASCAR. Go Shane van Gisbergen.

[@narelleday434]

Come on aussies and kiwis, accept that it’s different. They don’t have a Larko, no one to educate their audience. These chats with SVG WILL HELP US LEARN WHAT THE CIRCLES NEED. Oh, sorry for the Caps, I’m not really yelling. 😂😂

[@botabs.8247]

I think in a couple years svg is going to be a serious problem for Nascar. I mean great for the sport but he's gonna show us what Australia has to offer as a driver. Kiwi season is coming.

[@mintoxace5571]

I’m hoping Brodie Kostecki will come across and race NASCAR now that he’s not racing at Erebus coz he was seriously quick in his one appearance last year, and would have been in the top ten if not for having to swap to his backup car after qualifying.

[@_whyte.woods_1256]

Ambrose fans thought the same. He'll be a contender on every single road course, He'll learn super speedways but short tracks and intermediate He'll be mid pack

[@GDA_Sam]

​@@_whyte.woods_1256true.. but the major difference now is that the cars are alot more alike so going from supercars to NASCAR is not such a foreign feeling. Giz having to be in XFINITY now is the biggest hurdle because they are still the older style car setup

[@_whyte.woods_1256]

@@GDA_Sam Yeah, that's certainly true about Cup being more similar now. Pretty sure Super cars are solid axle though. But ovals are a different breed. You really need to feel comfortable throwing the car into that turn.

They should make a international league of sorts. Same cars. Same tracks. Just different races on the same weekend. So like if they’re at Vegas we’re at Phoneix.

It was called the A1 World Grand Prix, drivers representing their nations all in the same cars. Only lasted 4years.

[@HJK242]

​@@branco4979was it competitive at all? Cause barely any country's outside US even have oval racing, or any type of racing done with Nascar

[@branco4979]

it was open wheel, so a bit different to nascar. Was fun to watch, each nations' car was painted in national colours, drivers had to be from whatever country they represented. 2005 to 2009@@HJK242

[@joshanderson9391]

​@@HJK242there were no ovals it was all road and street tracks. Also it was based on nations, so there was team France, team UK, team Japan etc

[@jim394]

I hope it works out for SVG. He's not going to get more than 10 career wins just because of his age and also international road racers are only good at road courses or maybe Indy (I think of Juan Pablo then). Still would be fun to watch and maybe he'll prove me wrong.

[@rippedup1931]

lol you sure?

[@SnoodyMcFlude]

1000 feet basically from the top to the bottom. Actually is 571 feet (174 metres). In case some of you were wanting to know the actual height.

[@danieljames4584]

Is the Sim as good as actual practice on a track?

[@sriley064]

In a word,NO but it can help you get close what you need to do Bathurst for instance had cars running 5-7 seconds faster in race conditions than real life,part of that is not needing to fear for your life im sure

You can tell Harvik takes this seriously.

[@beano9343]

To be clear, it's not the elevation. The race is 1000km

with the new generation of NASCAR have the vehicles kept up with other similar series across the globe or are they still a bit "agricultural?"

The Cup cars now are more similar in nature to a GT3 IMSA car, but they have far less aero.
