I remember growing up and having a massive dislike to Jamie. Now I’m getting older, I can’t help but appreciate what he’s done in his career, truly remarkable.

[@neilgale2292]

same

[@Andrew-ix6rb]

But have to agree with you there. I felt the same. I was also a little hurt by Craig going to Ford. But after that win in 06 everything seemed to make sense again. And Craig even eventually went back to Holden. It's a funny old game , race cars!!!🤣✌🏻🇭🇲

[@tomrachellesfirstdance7843]

I like the way he was speaking at the end very much at peace with his retirement. I loved that phrase "Pressure is a privilege" a lot of top sports people need to know that.

[@lamborghinisabbatini]

I buzzed out when he mentioned Novak because I always saw him as the Novak of Supercars. He could actually pass as Novak's Aussie brother tbh.

[@jraybay]

Makes me feel old 😆 Grew up watching Jamie over here as a young Canadian kid up until now. What a career, and he did it with class. Thanks for the memories Jdub 🏁👏

[@jraybay]

@@bb10racing Ha, that's alright I can see why you thought that

[@bossleonie7658]

I was 5 years old in 2006 when I first heard Whincup’s name (I liked him solely for his name). I remember watching on this old grey box tv when Lowndes crossed the finish line in 06. That 3 peat is something I will remember for the rest of my life. Congratulations on an amazing career and I wish you well.

[@mpcoulso]

Growing up karting, Jamie you were my idol, every race win I thought I was you, Thanks for everything and inspiring people J Dub ❤

[@tom.mcnamara]

Congratulations on your epic career, Jdub! Jamie Whincup has been an inspiration of mine since I was a kid, and I have been fortunate to meet him at the 2017 Sandown 500 - a moment I'll never forget! Good luck not only for your final full-time race this weekend, but in becoming both a father and the new big boss at Triple 8 in 2022! #CheersJdub

[@paulslavin1465]

Huge fan from the UK here. JDub has had one hell of a career, to win that series 7 times is incredibly hard. Sad to see him go, the end of an incredible era.

The V8 Supercar´s G.O.A.T., farewell! Thanks for entertaining us so many years. Best motor racing in the world. Greetings from Germany

[@robertwellner693]

Denk ich auch eine wahre Legende!

[@speedway_hype_videos]

Cya Whincup, sad to see you go😞 I remember watching you in your early days. You would've and still would be a great idol for a lot of people.You have had a great career, put smiles on people's faces, and kept going at it through your ups & downs. The three-peat was one of the greatest moments of your supercars journey, Once again sad to see you go, it has been one wild journey 👍😞

[@ClayLewis797]

Since I was a little boy I always cheering for you

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

First started watching Australian cars back in the days of Dick Johnson and John Bowe in the Sierra RS500s. Wasn’t keen on the V8s to begin with but as we had coverage here in the UK I soon got into it. Watching Jamie win his multiple championships was an honour. Seems like a genuinely nice bloke as well. We don’t get coverage here now so haven’t watched for several years which is a shame.

[@Cumshot-millionare]

Even though Im young and havnt seen him race as much it's still sad to see a legend like him not racing anymore but congrats to him he had a great run and did so much for the v8s👍

[@chopzmasta07]

I've had a love/hate thing for Jamie. A great driver, one of the best and I hated it when he won races over my favourites. Amazing career and he's cemented his name as one of the greatest ever.

[@anthony-me1wu]

I've loved every minute of it. Love him or hate him he has given us so much. Entertainment value is off the charts. Good on ya jdub

Congratulations Jdub on one hell of a career mate 🏅🏆🥇🐏 my favourite would be winning Bathurst with Lowndsey for the first ever Peter Brock Trophy 🏆 that was a special day and the pressure on both your shoulders that day must have been immense and you both pulled it off together. Deserving to be the Goat 🐐 all the best for all your future endeavours #JDub #1 Also best of luck to Roland Dane for your future too

[@danishwaqar9557]

JDUB is a force to be reckoned with! Missed the opportunity because of COVID to see his last full time drive! Cheers mate! Well done You are a hell of a motivation.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

End of an era. No more Jamie or Holden. :( It's been a great battle to watch (from a Ford man).

[@AyodanDownUnder]

What a true legend and an awesome driver, you will be missed.

[@weburnitatbothends]

Would have love to have seen Jamie and Scott McLaughlin in Volvos together for a few years with GRM just to upset the applecart a bit more, still love the last laps of that race in Adelaide on Volvo debut with J Dub vs Scott, top shelf racing

[@darianistead2239]

Jamie couldn't do what Scottie did in the Volvo, hell, he couldn't beat Scottie in a Volvo driving a triple 8 Holden.

[@seanwhyte3008]

@@darianistead2239 jamie never said he was a super natural like Scott, Shane or Craig. But why is the best, well because he worked harder than them all. Scott prob would have passed him but.

[@Wheeznbreezn]

@@darianistead2239 correct, he even says at 4:30 that they had a performance advantage in those dominant years because of all th3 custom parts they made.. that was evident right up until penske turned up and was able to match them for spending time and money on those sorts of things

[@paulorchard7960]

One of our greats, but Jamie like every other successful driver will say, being good at it is not all you need, being in the right place at the right time to get the offers from the right team with the right car at the right time is what puts it together!

[@RevoRob007]

He may have his haters but J-Dub is probably the greatest touring car driver Australia has produced.

[@MinhLe-kt5zg]

Gonna miss this man. Cheers for the memories mate ❤️❤️❤️

[@edxr6949]

Thanks for the Ford wins Jamie. All the best mate ,✌️👍

[@Tribunilus]

Jamie Whincup was what ford needed at the time to get the wins back. When they had to change to Holden due to ford only financing factory teams, Jamie became the enemy that had to be beaten lol.

[@trinityshields9807]

good job jdub you deserve the best and i hope to see u in the car with shane van gisbergan as co driver next year

[@leongt1954]

So no Whincup next year Roland Dane retiring David Couchi leaving along with Lowndes most likely big shake up at 888 racing for 2022 and just as I suspected from 2008 onwards the team was more centred around whincup but huge credit to Jamie for saying that, it's very rare that a driver says the team favoured him over his teammate

[@alanluscombe8a553]

What a legend.

[@jimclarke1108]

All Australian legends

Go watch some. Old races mate. Around the 2013 back to 2000 its amazing

[@charlie0101]

You will bloody love it. I'm a huge Nascar fan, love the short tracks, Bristol Martinsville & Richmond. Love it.

[@richardquinn7712]

I got into supercars because of wincup

[@arkangelgaming35]

I remember seeing Jamie when I was 12. Wasnt fond of him, I guess because I was Holden at the time and Skaife/Kelly/Tander were my team and this rookie was beginning to upset the league. His career has been nothing short of amazing. Shame hes leaving so young but his mentality and his tenacity have been amazing. I hope he pulls one last win up at the mountain.

[@paulslavin1465]

7 times champion says it all

[@holzmann-]

The title is misleading. He didn't die, he merely retired from racing. Still sad, but he could technically return.

[@andrewbonney6208]

Will be a couple driver at the end of the year like lownse

[@PaulRobinsonRacing]

Joined the right team at the right time. 2014 Bathurst 1000 lap 161 was my career highlight.

[@shanebraund9987]

Remember being out at Sandown in 2007 when Whincup qualified the car and Lowndes didn't and accepted right there that he had started to overshadow Lowndes.

[@sspacegghost]

i think Jdub will do more for the sport out of the car - than he ever did in it - hes that sort of guy...

[@chrisbraid2907]

Sadly a runner up this year but nevertheless a good end to a great career, I expect to see you on the mountain again backing up these awesome new generation of Drivers !

[@FormerleyMonsterJamFan]

wait he retired

[@doctorsloth213]

I remember when he squandered a Bathurst victory because he refused to respond to team orders.

[@nathanielpillar8012]

was that regarding the time he ran out of fuel? Apparently it was later worked out that if he went to pits to refuel earlier, he would have ended up much farther back than 5th. So it was a gamble that paid off well.

[@doctorsloth213]

@@nathanielpillar8012 Nope ,he simply needed to lift a little or short change . He kept pushing and subsequently ran out of fuel.

[@rainman3269]

All he hade to do was roll out of the throttle thru the last 6 laps to save enough to get the end and would have won ... Asked multiple times to do just that over the coms but oh no ... Another race thrown away thru arrogance

Are you ok in the head? He has been in the best kit sure but he has helped develop that for years, because you have a good car doesn’t equal good results. To say the goat of this sport has no skill you must on some serious drugs. Adelaide 2012 was one of the most challenging races for him losing hid dad just before and for you to say he has no skill how is he am7 time champion. Go to the doctors you salty Ford fan

Won titles in both a Ford and a holden, check. Won titles in a project blueprint car and car of the future, check. Beat his more highly credentialed team mate 9 years straight, check. Won more titles that anyone else, check. What else more do you want? People like yourself could never imagine what success looks like because you've only ever been a failure.
