Shane Van Gisbergen Drift Celebration

[NZTritium]

You can take the Kiwi out of New Zealand... but you'll never take the skids out of a kiwi.

[youluvana]

thats how the drift king started u know. true story.

[80sOldSkool]

That is spectacular, awesome car control & a great looking Ford Falcon! Great way for the Gis to celebrate his first win of two for 2011, at his home track made it all the more special.

[100pmoro]

That's the way all race wins should be celebrated!!

Agreed?

[Revenunt]

what a chief

[zerocool801]

Any one notice the girl at 0:46?

Thumbs up!!

[06KIWI66]

An awesome young kiwi driver with a huge future.Not many V8 supercar drivers throw the cars round like he can,great guy to watch driving

[Jellymaster332]

One of the craziest guys i need to see if i'm going to Oceania x)

[willyking35]

he miss all the clipping point. respect this young man

[catsanddogsarekillin]

whats with the hot girls in the garage at 45 seconds to 50?

[Tizzzla]

@catsanddogsarekillin They are called promo girls buddy

[catsanddogsarekillin]

@Tizzzla sure thought that was he's girlfriend. if it was he is a player lol

[Tizzzla]

@catsanddogsarekillin Haha he has a pretty hot mrs

[DeWina512]

that called The Fast And The Furious: Australian Drift

[frankisfunny2007]

Aussie commentators over Darrell Waltrip any day. The Aussie commentators make it more exciting, and much, much less annoying!

[HorseWhisperer2010]

Bahaha I love Shane. And here we have a perfect example of what he does best :)

[southsidestory1]

yeah his my favourite driver awesome

[d15z1sux]

he did that on racing slick tyres... id imagine its harder than on street tyres which are usually used for drifting?

[chipchuckchop]

@d15z1sux but also take into account this is a nearly 800hp full trim racing car with little to no steering lock setup to not go sideways and yet he can still do that.

[PS3ProGamer13]

@chipchuckchop They only run 600-650hp

[chipchuckchop]

@PS3ProGamer13 haha i actually realised that after i wrote it sorry im used to speedway where we are running close to 800hp haha thanks for the correction though

[thabasslover]

@chipchuckchop it's a Supercharged V8 with 600-650 hp

[catsanddogsarekillin]

@thabasslover no supercharger just a pure aussie v8

[khindustries02]

Great driver great team, well deserved victory and looking forward to more in the future

[tpthebull]

best car ever 

[charliebrown407]

where can i find the top gear one

[lansdowne666]

hes a kiwi ther born to drift

[charliemurphy69]

like a boss

[89sallad]

what a champ !!

[coreydela100]

Oh he ment to do that..

[eagle4397]

I now want him to win every race so he can keep doing that again

[FershLicka]

his good enough for D1 =]

[light2dark42]

hes using the foot brake tho so really its just snakies down the whole track,

still enjoyed it tho

[Basketball470]

@light2dark42 oh ur a true wanker mate for saying that, u dont even know 

[light2dark42]

@Basketball470 Lol what do you mean i dont even know, you can see his brake lights lighting up as hes going sideways dickwad, and i wasnt being a cunt about it like you faggot.

[Basketball470]

@light2dark42 yeh but ur saying it like u know everything, u don't know anything OK, v8 super cars and road cars are completely different, drifting is drifting at the end of the day don't matter how its done. i guess u call fast and furious, "Tokyo snakies" cos ur that much of a know it all.... wanker strikes again

[light2dark42]

@Basketball470 just stating a fact. i call drifting drifting and snakies snakies. theres a differance. your just mad you cant try either

[Basketball470]

@light2dark42 nah ur just a wanker now, all i can say is u dont know anything about cars so u fail at life and i owned u just then btw

[light2dark42]

@Basketball470 lol get fucked im not gona say i know everything about cars but i bet i know more than you, bet you dont even have your license just sit on your fat ass on the net all day "i owned you then btw" wat a gay cunt.

[Basketball470]

@light2dark42 thank you for defining the fact that i have owned you once again faggot. I don't need you saying i know more about cars than u. its a fact but cheers for the heads up.

[Basketball470]

@light2dark42 fuck i owned you good that time. fucking owned little boy cry cry

[dmied1]

@light2dark42 even though the other guy is a dickhead, that is by every term drifting. He's intentionally oversteering through turns while maintaining control of the car and keeping a high exit speed. 1:23 shows my point so, as much as the other guy is a dickhead, your still wrong regardless

[SirLukkas]

Epic. Perhaps V8 Supercar races should, upon finishing, immediately turn into a drift event for the remainder of the racers' tyres. 2-for-1 event. :)

[tylersmallz]

i like it how he says crag lowndes pulls up beside him!......(doesnt quiet pull up beside him) he then notices and says...in 2nd place!! no shit watch it and youll notice it haha

[simak2]

GANGSTA

[Nismo1015]

Dopeeeee

[jimmyflau]

Drift King =)

[shaunimiya]

@bootfloor nobody gives a shit.

[Apex27]

Great stuff ... but craig lowndnes got fined $10000.00 for doing a burnout while van gis was doing this. wtf CAMS stop fining for everything just let them race/drift/celebrate they are professionals. A little bit of fun on the slow down lap should be manditory racing is boring without the drivers showing some emotion in there driving

[SkitzFan1]

@Apex27 The rules state only the winner can celebrate. Yes Craig won the round, the rules also state, no burnouts are to be done before turn 1 or after turn 14, Craig did a burnout on the strip metres from where the podium was being set-up. The fine was more because it was done in a dangerous area!! Just to clear that up!!

GO SHANE! GO FORD!

[paintballgundown8]

Thats what happens when you play FORZA3 with a RWD car. The game thinks you are playing with no tires left

[jamesyo7]

3 people are fuckin dumbcunts

[Apex27]

@jamesyo7 probably CAMS officials

[frowgli1]

this is fricken EPIC-especially considering that these cars have stuff all wheel lock movement and he STILL put its ass out and kept it there!!!

[jonnois]

this is why we should have a real drift comp here in australia

[hdtkid]

should be a new rule.....

if you don't do burnouts / drifting after a win you dont get any points for that race.

[TheTubeMaster01]

would like to see the winner of bathurst do a victory lap like this haha

[dogeatme]

I think this is my new favorite driver!

[DjMike00769]

ford & kiwi's combined = fricking AWESOME

[RFBOOM]

nothing like winding brake bias to front, clutch kick and then get on the brake and steer it. do that in my car too :)

[ronaldo92]

i was there was more inpressive in real life

[bscrud69]

i fucking love thiss

[Roadrunnerz45]

so who were the two dumbos that dislike this vid?

[Daimo988]

@Roadrunnerz45 one eyed holden fans?

[DirtRacerFan42]

@Roadrunnerz45 Aussies..

[TZABOY]

its tought to follow either holden or ford as they're the same these days, you just have to follow the driver. Brilliant skids at the end of the race!!!

[MaoriMadeProduction]

At the time of this post there were 2 dislikes, Bloody HOLDEN fans!! You're just pissed because if you tried that in a Holden the engine would let go!! Well done Kiwi!!

[eaze1984]

thats how kiwis dooze it!

@tomekii

[eaze1984]

thats how kiwis dooze it!

[drftme]

see Australia....we need more drifting!!!!!!!!!!!

[KarlosTheKiwi]

You the man Shane........you the man.

[YuppieGearhead]

This needs to become a trend.

[tomekil]

That's how we do it in Australia!!

[timpeterz]

@tomekil Thats how we do it in NZ? haha

[tomekil]

@timpeterz

'IN' Australia

[BurgsyKid]

Thankyou for recording this! I was watching it at home kicking myself for not getting it!

Good to see the blue oval back at the top!

[player1vladimir]

So the australians took the muscle car from the americans and made it better.

[hardwurkindaddy]

This is why Ford should import the Falcon to the US and get rid of the rubbish AWD/FWD Taurus from here!

[dzsGamefanx]

2 guys cant drift

[crazybiscut]

SpeedHunters Brought ME here!

[menpee]

Epic win! 

[DJLifemusic]

thumbs up if top gear brought you here

[sawyerbobby]

He smoked them, Literally. ;)

[HarwoodTech]

What a ledge

[Trooperx86]

this was awesome! Thank you Top Gear for showing me this!

[caiocrz]

That made me cry of awesomeness!!! "oh, he meant to do that" lol so epic!

[softwarehangout]

After F1 these are my favorite races to watch. Love them!

[MegaShark50]

Thumbs up if Top gear got you here!!!

[sofiathereal]

2'10" damaged wheel or do they run on that much negative gamber ?

[tholmesy26]

@sofiathereal Thats how they run them! :)

[Dpavetider]

the guy at 0:11 looks like Tom Cruise in tropic thunder

[CTrix301]

he meant to do that.

[mattwatson96]

Can't wait to see the likes of sebastian vettel drifting their F1 cars after a victory :D

[EricAlveal18]

top gear brought me here

[Elitewarfare3]

looks like he had the brake bias all the way forward to help keep that car pointing the right way when he was drifting but awesome to see it

[JensDhondtVEVO]

wow :P 

[TheAudiTTfan]

Love the Aussie V8's...sad how the US get the AWD and FWD versions of the Taurus...FORD, you should look at this video and change your mind!!!

[caseygtr]

@TheAudiTTfan We have the two door Mustang... the Falcon is nice, but no thx.

[TheAudiTTfan]

@caseygtr We don't have any good V8 sedans here though....

[Saladfingers21]

@caseygtr so you'd take the bloated turd taurus over the falcon..?

[KingKo101]

love it!

[Skylinetrw]

This is great stuff here...

[MrBuddo007]

Hahaha nothing like a win and then having alot of fun after it

[MasikOne]

haha anything with big horsepower,good lock, and keeping it rwd, u can punish those corners with kill of moves hahahahaha. chur bro props from nz.

[TwinTurboRS]

be not that funny? announcer guffaw!

[zacharyyyskeet]

We need more Shane Van Gisbergens in the world.

[jimmey138]

He can show Mad mike up!! Go the Kiwi , puts on a better show that other winning drivers XD

[xCzechify]

Ford styles g

[fergus1494]

what a gun, i remember watching that horrible show that was top gear Australia when they couldn't get one around a round about due to the lack of steering lock.

[R31Mark]

Fuck yeah.

[fjbutch]

I'm a holden man, but I enjoyed this heaps....awesome !!!!

[gazjatt]

got respect for this bloke, not easy to drift a car which is set up for circuit racing

[mashy0001]

2 BTCC fans don't like this.

[rokermoe]

you can tell this guy is a kiwi!

[mauricioalfredo83]

2 Hybrid drivers dont like so far XD jajajajaja

[StingRayINC]

[cheers369]

Very Nice

[prototethys]

1000 likes

[lionpress999]

haha awesome

[DRIFTCATracing]

nice thumbs up!!

[RBKAOS]

typical kiwi celebration haha

[LTDHO]

Who says you need a Skyline to drift?

[DRFTmonkeh]

@LTDHO nobody does...

[AndrewJZX100]

Why sideways? BECAUSE VAN GISBERGEN

[bootfloor]

This is why Ford Australia should save the Falcon and keep it RWD and not bring the rubbish AWD/FWD Taurus from the states.

[Apollo3T]

@bootfloor I'm American and I support this statement. Falcon > Taurus

[hexagonview]

@bootfloor Yeah but awd is better than rwd. But I hate the tarus and hope they keep Ford Aus

[Alex19al]

@bootfloor well too bad its gonna die anyway

[symustafa1996]

@bootfloor For drifting? AWD sure offers more grip on the road than RWD.

[bootfloor]

F@symustafa1996 Why have an AWD drive Falcon now?? Been without it for so long. If you want grip u buy a WRX. Who on earth will be taking every corner fast in a Falcon? RWD is the joy of going sideways. We dont need it. There are already heaps of AWD SUV's on the market. AWD in a large sedan is pointless. If i was to buy an AWD i will get a Subaru who make them for a living or an Aurion for FWD.

[symustafa1996]

@bootfloor I mean for racing. This isn't the D1 Grand Prix, its V8 Supercars. Grip is more useful around the corners, yes?

[bootfloor]

@symustafa1996 Yes but wont be reliable for large V8 sedans and also the extra weight it will have therefore will be a slower car unless they make more power out of them. It would cost too much to maintain and could u imagine how many drive shafts will be breaking if cars keep bumping each other?? Especially turn one on every track when they are still bunched up.

[Softrockman]

@bootfloor, anything from the US is bound to be crap, its all about build costs and nothing about the drivers.

[roflex2]

@bootfloor It will certainly be a very interesting car though! I doubt they will can the RWD model, I imagine their performance FPV cars will still be RWD jsut the daily driven cars will be AWD/FWD, the AWD turbo ones will be very interesting.

[Pitbull27k]

You bloody legend bro, good one you mate you deserve it!

[StockcarMad1]

on the limiter again!!! goodshit SVG!

[MrKnightstale]

AWESOME VID!!!! MUCH LIKED!!!!

[loftiemax]

This is pretty impressive - given that these cars aren't made to drift!!!

[liftedview]

@loftiemax LOL any car with RWD, fat engine, and traction control OFF will drift if you want it to... just sayin

[loftiemax]

@liftedview - Clearly you haven't driven a V8 supercar, a TVR, or anything that is 'a little tail happy'

I am aware that big horsepower, heavy foot, and turning hard = sideways....

But sideways and spinning out is not drifting my friend...

[mic09dcsm09]

@loftiemax he only spun out at the end after taking several corners, also this isn't a drift event, the cool thing is his victory hoo rah was D R I F T I N G not just a burnout.

[ManuelC572]

@liftedview Yeah right... What do you know about cars?

[loftiemax]

@ManuelC572 Plenty more than you I would guess Manuel.....

[awsit1]

@loftiemax They're stiff, they're powerful...why wouldn't they drift? ha ha ha good shit! V8 "Supadrifts"!

[rthy]

@loftiemax so which cars are made to drift?

[light2dark42]

@rthy ummm wat sort of question is that, drift cars obviously.

[1239kieran]

Well done Shane but I'm a Holden fan and nice drifting

[anotherwhitegtb]

If he fails in V8 supercars, which i highly doubt he will. He could always give formula d a go. Go van jizzburger!!! Your a legend

[PioneerComputers]

SKIDZ!!! ON TV NO LESS!!!

[MrCaseguy]

F*CKING AYE!!!!!!!!! good shit The Giz!!!!!!!!

[RichoMk1]

Just saw this on tv, had to see it again. Awesome win, better celebration.
