SVG - Wild or Mad?

Shane Van Gisbergen tested a radical way of cooling his tyres at the Sydney Motorsport Park SuperSprint, the Inside Supercars panel ask - Wild or Mad?

[@clarissafarmer3547]

Don’t whinge he’s the best thing Supercars has had for a long long time

[@jye13b]

A bit of excitement on the track is always good to watch, i love the way he drives and drifts, keep it coming SVG

[@vangard3415]

blue thunder 10 this guy is great to watch in any car ,I would like to see him face in the drift cars

[@jamielovell4253]

He's good, as he said. Do we want to watch drivers go around single file? I love seeing him push for positions

[@gosportjamie]

It's not madness or wildness, the simple fact is that SVG has a huge amount of natural driving talent so he can get away with situations that would put other drivers in the wall, and he can read what sort of a car he has under him so well that he can have massive confidence in what the car will do. He also understands that motor racing is entertainment...

[@simonmul449]

Motorsport needs more SVG's, look at F1 (F__kin boring motorsport). SVG is to V8SC, what Senna was to F1 in the 80s and 90s. A great talent and the reason to go to races or watch them on the TV.

[@RBFR01]

F1 is just as exciting as V8 supercars

[@banyaga-di-palawan]

Still relevant...F1 is still boring.

[@RED0N3]

The champ can do what he wants

[@t3chztyl3]

dont hate on gis, the real reward is the exposure the sport gets when this is shown all over the world, plus exposure to himself which is what he is paid to do.. besides hes pretty much the sharpest blade v8supercars has right now... wild and approved =)

[@AidanMillward]

t3chztyl3 Shane's a legend in Europe amongst people who watch all forms of racing not just F1. Ask a hardcore racing fan if they've heard of him they'll say how good he is.

[@shardshunt]

Kimi raikkonen its not bloody f1 car. its a 2 ton 800 hp beast and it can deal with it otherwise they wouldn't use the curbs.

[@Schnooblers]

+shards hunt It's actually 620-650hp.

[@shardshunt]

pedantic ;p.. yeah its not actually two ton ether its 1400kg I'm just making a point. if you want to get technical there are a lot more reasons why the v8sc can deal with bumps and f1 cars cant, diff, suspension settings, steel frame vs carbon monocoque ect

[@AidanMillward]

shards hunt if a formula car loses its rear end it's a lot like a v8 Supercar: a lot of power going to the rear wheels and nothing weighing it down for grip

[@AidanMillward]

SVG predicted the 2022 iracing Spa 24.

[@rewinapier8474]

SVG is all the above and more, his car control in all conditions stems from his grassroots days on the farm with his dad Robert VG.

[@noelineroth6120]

Yeap No 8 wire !

[@lucusfrench2192]

I remember Skaife at lakeside in a gtr on a wet track driving onto the grass at the start of the race to overtake the 2wd cars. yeah speed was slower and he had 4wd but still. funny how he thought it was ok when he was young

[@Slaktrax]

I remember that start 🙂

[@matk4731]

Bloody nuts 🤪 Love it👍🏻👍🏻

[@bronco100001]

svg=legend

[@jakegladman2865]

svg=complete fucktard

[@markymarkmarkymark2688]

He won last season , & is winning races this season . I hear no drivers calling him a cheat . Thats all that matters , winning cleanly . Any risk is his to take . Thats the reason hes a champion , and Jake Gladman is nobody .

[@aus80srockradio94]

SVG is undoubtley a talent, but he picks on Dave Reynolds too much on track.

[@hungryspy1]

Hello Mark Scaife I can quite vividly remember when you fell off the track or were accidentally punted off as we all know it does occur. BUT I have seen you wave your clenched fists on live television and threatened to punch someone. You did say in this video that we should not show the younger generation the wrong things too do I feel if you live in a glass house you know the rest. Leave SVG the man alone he is truly a dead set genius.

[@patto505]

Skaife is pretty practiced in throwing stones around his glass house.

[@hyper2high]

hungryspy1 i think he was refairing to setting a bad example to young drivers.

[@rayjaymor8754]

Just noticed the age of the vid. I had mixed feelings on SVG at this stage of his career - sure he made for great telly but he also got a bit too keen to punt other cars off the road. That being said he's mellowed out a LOT and now he's a legit championship contender. Wasn't a fan of him in 2015 but certainly reckon he's got the goods this year though.

[@Slaktrax]

Many drivers punted other drivers off. SVG was no different, he just had more detractors at the time.

[@gerardcrabb4556]

Daniel Ricciardo found out at AGP it was a bad idea in the Renault at the start...

[@Slaktrax]

People have different levels of nerve and risk threshold (just like pain threshold) what is seen as too much by the majority is perfectly acceptable to the minority of guys with a gift like SVG has. Senna was in the same boat, so was Kimi Räikkönen.

[@4dshow]

Skaifes got it in for SVG big time, I do understand everything Skaife was saying,but he just came off sounding petty.

[@robbo_]

+4dshow he was never going to lose control lol, maybe others can't do it but there wasn't much risk for SVG

[@4dshow]

+Robert Clancy I never wrote SVG would've lost control did i? I guess it was more Skaifes sentiment rather than actual comments. I feel you've focused on the wrong part of my comment.

[@robbo_]

4dshow I feel like replying to someone on youtube everyone gets defensive and assumes they were saying the opposite. I was reinforcing your point...

[@4dshow]

+Robert Clancy fair call mate, My mistake.

[@ElectricRides]

He is a drifter, he probably has better car control than anyone else on the grid. Losing the rear end is not an issue for SVG.

[@hyper2high]

Skaife is a legend but gotta say his hair looks pretty weird in this vid lol

[@consmyth1346]

which leads me to- how do New Zealanders find sheep in the long grass? Very comfortable

[@deanpenney4431]

Wow, you sure are a funny guy. If it takes a IQ of 60 to tie shoe laces, why do you always wear thongs?

[@C.Griffin]

Classic Skaife. Throwing rocks rocks in his glass house. There are plenty of times you showed poor sportsmanship and terrible behavior on and off the track. Fool.

[@blair7967]

Calm down TinyDancer...... anyone would think he refused to suck your tiny little weenie the way you're carrying on

[@macsimeon7652]

MS doesnt like SVG at all

[@vineshnaidoo9402]

Skaife is talking like a boomer...

[@shellez101]

I remember svg leaving stone bros ......why let him behind the wheel , next tanty he has he,ll be gone again.

[@benpasquale6353]

i think hes dangerous...too much to prove

[@ghgkr3727]

No he is not he is the best!

[@petertaylor2148]

Typical media conversation 🙄 No sense of humor. If ya can't enjoy the topic then be smarter and don't have it on ya program, because you guys sound ridiculous !! Go SVG a bright light, a real star 🌟

[@jcmate1692]

These are pro drivers if they didn't think they had the skill and it was unsafe they wouldnt do it. I'd be more worried about fixing pit lane making it safer for all by having a 45 Degree center service bay so cars come in with the garage on their left and they turn right to enter their 45 degree service bay this way no teams are running over each others equipment pulling fuel tanks and air bottles that can and have started fires this saves pit crews from being run down fires dont spread to the garages any car in the service area can be pushed straight back across the entry lane and into their garage, drivers get to judge their own release because they will have a better view of other cars coming or exiting their service bay. All tires fuel and compressed air would be kept in this center service bay. There's more good points in a pit lane setup like this than bad points look at Nascar accidents in pit lane
