"You never gonna come in and smoke everyone".....then that's exactly what he doe's 🤣🤣

[@peteburness944]

That is one of the most relaxed and open interviews I have seen from Shane. Just shows the ability of the interviewers nature to bring the real Shane to the surface.

[@kinghock]

Yeah, Chad Neylon take note - don't ask dickhead questions and you won't get a dickhead answer!

[@Desmondo58]

I laughed when the interviewer said he'll be nice to him when they race 😅did you see the smirk on Shane's face priceless, Shane had just told him they have 3hr race's in the paddock crashing into each other 😀🤣👍

[@crazyhorse2995]

Yes, skaife n neylon could learn frm these guys.

[@wildeturkey2006]

SVG is a machine in so many classes. He has aced open wheelers, supercars, rally, sprint cars, etc, Enduro's, Le Manns, now nascar. he has amazing car control.

[@thatonenigeriansformula]

Arguably one of the best racers of our generation

[@theParticleGod]

Can remember shaking his hand and telling him how impressed I was with his performance in quarter midgets while walking in the pits at Wester Springs many years ago, and then again while he was rallying - he always made time to talk to me. He is a super nice guy and full of enthusiasm for the sport and the fans, as well an absolute master of any format he competes in. He's a great representative of New Zealand and motorsport in general. Never dreamed he'd go this far.

WHAT A WIN!!!! WHAT A DRIVER!!!!

[@piglos]

I rate him the best sedan car driver in the world, and I've been watching Australian racing since 1970. His car control is from another planet. And a street circuit is right up his alley

[@martinhami3]

Ahead of Scott? They had some ding dong battles. Also, prime SVG vs Whincup? Jamie was an absolute beast there himself for a long time.... Just curious to your opinion, always love a good discussion like that ;)

[@thatsimracer666]

@@martinhami3 I'm a whincup fan but SVG is more talented as he has won races in many different classes of vehicles and been in a lot of top 5 and top tens. Where SVG beats wincup is his ability to just jump in anycar and be quick where as whincup was really only winnning in v8 supercars

[@kaindog1007]

Shane won 3 races at Sandown Raceway in Melbourne Australia with a broken collarbone with pins in it. He’s on another level.

Great win today SVG. It's great to see him out of Supercars, he will be a big loss to them one day, but they continue to ignore his honest feedback. Great to see the old SVG chatting and enjoying himself. Revel in the win big man and in the words of Scotty - gave it some jandal!

I've followed supercars religiously for the last 16 years and he's beginning to become more and more frustrated with the direction it's going. The new class of cars has ruined Supercars IMO.

[@jdbb3gotskills]

He sure made it look easy at the end of the race. What a great drive from SVG

[@xDRAGONSTARx]

Go SVG, show them how good you are at steering! Even if you don't win, I am sure you will have them all wondering where on Earth you came from!! I am #97 SVG for life.. but on Sunday I will be #91. After watching this interview & seeing your responses, I don't think I would be too sad if you left Supercars for a NASCAR ride. All it means for me is I have to research NASCAR to learn the rules & I will be getting up early to watch races from here in Australia.

[@James-jf2cl]

on the plus side you'll see him race a hell of a lot more, plus he'll be close enough to imsa, gtwc, WEC to do some races if he wishes

[@marklittle8805]

He did alright I reckon....

[@stevenmelling6068]

Cheers for the interview ,I can feel the excitement building, Go the Giz

[@PeteChatteris]

Brilliant interview. The interviewers are obviously knowledgeable, friendly and asked wonderful questions. Loved the bit about Aussies are good, but being a kiwi is better. This entire experience has me very interested in Nascar. They seem to have respect and openness, very much like Indy. Supercars have it as well. Brilliant work all round
