Shane van Gisbergen is an Aussie V8 Supercars star. He can drive anything and knows Mount Panorama like the back of his hand. He was leading the 2009 Bathurst 1000 (the V8 SC race) until the car wouldn't restart after the pit stop. Man, was he mad!

He started racing in Formula First and Formula Ford about ten years ago...

BTW, you guys with iRacing can drive the RuF on Mount Panorama now. It's an incredible circuit, even to drive synthetically!

Good links to live timing are available. Streaming here: http://www.bathurst12hour.com.au/live/

Have hundreds of laps at that place in Sim. Definitely a bucket list item to drive for real.

The Gis' just ran in the Daytona 24hr too. Very cool to see him kick *** in multiple formats!

That's a great lap, thanks for posting. Not much room for error.

The whole lap is incredible, especially the part towards the end of the video where he takes that VERY fast kink to the right and threads the needle past two cars. The Gis is FAST.

The Mercedes SLS AMG has qualified fastest in Class A but I think those things are ugly. So many other beautiful cars though (Porsche, Ferrari, McLaren, Audi, Lambo, BMW). Hopefully, the Porsches can top the R8s during the race in Class B.

They must have to repaint those walls hourly to get rid of all the smears

Yeah, that place is bat **** for sure. One of my best friends that I met in Tokyo is a John Bowe's son. He is doing a PhD in comp. sci. in bioinformatics. His brother is a Googler. Not bad I would say; they grew up in Taz. Here is a video of JB 'round there:
. Still working on being able to link up for a race here in the US.
