LIVE: Shane van Gisbergen Chicago Street Race In-Car Camera presented by Sunoco 

I'll be honest, I only watched this video from about 3:07:30, give or take, to the finish. It looked so much closer on the original broadcast. But watching this, you can see SVG clearly pulling away. It really wasn't even close.

It’s not a NASCAR, it’s a NASCAR race car.

@@josephdillon8946 Have to make sure people don’t get it confused

@@josephdillon8946 Alright cool 😂

Put him on a oval he would be a lap down in 10 laps😂

As a race fan that doesn’t watch NASCAR I enjoyed the racing once they got passed some of the issues early on with cars going into walls every 6 turns or so. If the weather was good and the whole race was like the end I would consider watching it more. The issue I have is I never enjoy watching ovals even with Indy car I skip all those races and that is most of what NASCAR is. Not saying they change their series for the outsiders. But I know I am not alone in that feeling and would be hard to overcome.

Just need to get rid of the "stages", stop going to ads every chance they can, and have the commentators know what's going on, there were a few points in the race where there were major position changes and it all happened while at an ad break, and nothing was mentioned about it. Other than that, it was a pretty good race! More streets! And bring them down to Australia!

​@kevincolwell3066 ovals are a lot more fun with nascar, especially the new car. I understand not liking it bc they do get spread out and are kinda long. Tracks like daytona, Talladega, and Atlanta constantly have passing for the lead if yo uever wanted to check it out

NASCAR was actually already well known, they have an equivalent in V8 Supercars.

@@teajaydesignsthe good ones

Definitely ... but not as much as I'd like to see NASCAR run a points race at Bathurst.

His late pit gave him a 16 lap fresh tyre advantage. He did say he was forced to pit for fuel. Could of been race plan, or it just worked out that way.

​@@Johnnosmitho6 laps fresher tires but his corner speed-car control and overall lap times were Faster showing his Skills for all to See. SVG was Teammates for Years with to of the Greatest of Australian V8 Supercars Driver's Craig lowndes and Jamie Whincup at 888 Red Bull Racing.

It Was A Late Pit Along With The Top 5 Guys He Was Racing All Day,No Excuses He Beat Everybody Fullstop

​@@Bogues_88 I think there was an issue with the forward facing camera. Nothing nascar can really do about that. It does suck though.

Yeah they forward cameras went to crap. Deff a learning experience for the production crew.

​@@Bogues_88makes my eyes twitch when people comment there wasn't much passing. I counted a lot from where I watched..lol Amazing to watch second time round not at work with ear buds in. Wicked sounds. Awesome race.

It helped that his car was faster.

@@ellisjames7192 how was his car faster? He's able to manage his tyres better which gives him the edge at the end of the race

@@IcyTamagotchiIt’s not as much about tires as it is knowledge on street courses. NASCAR drivers know how to manage tires, especially the elite. He said in his post race that the reason he’s so fast is because the nascar regulars were leaving extra track real estate on the back end of the course. They weren’t as close to the wall as he was in the tighter areas. That’s all due to inexperience on this type of course. Only 3 NASCAR regulars have ever done a street race.

@@sweetnasty2423 Who are the regular drivers who'd done a street race before this weekend? Off the top of my head I can only think of Allmendinger due to his background in Champ Car. And obviously the two guest drivers in van Gisbergen and Button have done plenty of street racing in their careers in Supercars and F1 respectively.

@@sweetnasty2423 what about the fact that the guy never set foot in one of these cars until this week. Steering wheel on a different side for a start. Was a really cool drive from this cam, the first half you could tell it was not easy, showed alot of patience and even got showed up by bell? and reddick for a bit. As the track dried out and he got some time in the saddle he got it ripping. from the 2:15 mark he was taking names, cool to see. Great he got the job done cleanly. It was a great race for Nascar. As a kiwi i am very proud. My dream would be to see SVG and Scott Mcglaughlin in 2025 going for it. Those 2 are insanely talented.

💯

SVG was too stout for Elliot and all the others.

He got put 17th sure, on fresh ass tires. That’s how it works when you pit, you lose position. I’m pretty convinced 1/4 who entered the pit were tipped off that the race would be cut short, there was no other reason for those cars to go in and get fresh tires. If bell or Reddick wouldn’t have drove into the wall this race more than likely would have ended differently. Bell was outpacing Gisbergen by 2 seconds or more the entire race. I would have loved to see the guys with the freshest tires who were all running the fastest all day battle it out in the end. Unfortunately we had to end up with Haley Vs. Gisenberg and Haley’s tires were going on 40+ laps whereas Gisbergen’s were in the 20’s. Not hard to make it look easy taking down half the pack when everyone is fighting for grip and you’re able to push the car hard. Not to mention he gained 7 positions in a single corner with the pileup and 4 more positions from wrecks. 18 to go on a restart he only had 7 people in front of him and all those people were on worn rubber. All he had to do was keep pace and go for 1 move in position every 2 laps. The late restarts also helped him.

​@@Sobriatee Tyres last longer in the wet. An hes really hard out on his to get to the lead. Justin Haley could still have won the Race, he easily retook the lead, in the dying stages, an never blocked after, if that was Carl Bush or any old hand Gisbergen would be second.

​@@user-li5vr6cd6oShane drives right side and shifts with different hand normally..absolute beast coming to nascar and dominating in first race

@@Sobriatee NASCAR reverted the running order back during that traffic jam yellow. That's why Byron didn't lose any positions despite starting the whole thing. NASCAR will do anything for Felon Motorsports.

please no. Lets leave this limited run as the special thing it is.

@@1320crusier He said after he finishes his year contract in New Zealand.

@@mountaingreen8360 In Australia.

He gets eaten alive in a series, a couple podiums maybe. Possibly a road course win. But I would be surprised to see him make playoffs. Will love to see what happens when he gets a bump at 190mph at Daytona. Y’all ever seen a kiwi fly?

@@Sobriatee Hes doing pretty well in Xfinity now, hes picking up the ovals quick.

I'd also put Liam Lawson,Marcus Armstrong,Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy in that list as well.

And Hartley and Earl Bamber

Greg Murphy

He is very good but there are others just as good back home in supercars.

​@@frasercrone3838💯

if they run it again, they need to adjust the one corner where 70% of the incidents occurred.

​@@JuannyRum23 turn 6? I think they just need a dry track instead. They need to move the start finish line as well so they can have more orderly double-file restarts

They Australian NASCAR had a 100km race at Bathurst

1000km race is Bathurst

💯

Terrible job by the person operating the cameras.

They'll Stay Left Foot Brakers

Everyone knows that , Please remember blah blah blah.

What a boneheaded comment. Who said that Nascar drivers were the best in the world? And do you even know what is going to happen once SVG goes to the oval? Different ballgame there, and the other drivers have much more experience than him in the oval. In the circuit track, SVG has more experience than the other drivers. So the outcome here is not that surprising...

Nobody said that except for you…

Technical issues with the forward facing camera, can’t be helped

@@Matt_Wilson01 what’s your source? I disagree. They have done this every time they do this stream.

03:10:42

It's expensive to go racing. You have to get sponsorship to get the ride. The big names attract sponsors. It's not fair, but life isn't fair. That said, I enjoyed watching this guy put on a clinic as much as anyone. The reduced traction of the damp track really showed the difference in skills.

245k now

I forgot if between as and a

Marmite mate, he’s from NZ, not aus 😂

Throttle management is great

@@rolandhicks1874 Yes indeed, and his foot work on the pedals.. very talented

you HOLDEN yes ,thats his bread and butter car

The Front Camera Died

Left Them Like They Were Standing Still 😂

That's why I set the time aside to watch... Still watched it all hahaha
