In 2024, he will really consolidate the NASCAR field, but Shane van Gisbergen still performed a historic job in his final season in Supercars.

Australia’s largest series, Supercarsiden, has also delegated drivers to the NASCAR Cup Series field, including Shane van Gisbergen, who won the Chicago street race, creating a particularly buzz in America. The New Zealand driver gained the trust of the Trackhouse Racing team, which signed him next year, but due to his lack of experience on oval tracks, he will not complete a full season in the Cup Series yet.
Their racing calendar revolves around the Bathurst 1000 each year, staging an unusually long race on the legendary, difficult track. There are usually three races in one weekend in the championship (two and sometimes four), but the race around Mount Panorama presents a real long-term challenge.

The 1,000-kilometre (161-lap) race is completed by two people per car, as it would be very difficult for one person to pass the 6,213-meter circuit several times in one lap. The 6 Hours race was won by Shane van Gisbergen for the third time this year, marking Triple Eight Race Engineering’s tenth success in the famous race.
He and New Zealand co-driver Richie Stanway were unable to catch pole-sitter Rudy Kostecki, who is also preparing for a NASCAR race, in a single lap, so they set the car on race pace, which paid off in the end.
Finally, without problems, with 20 seconds I arrived at my destination In front of Kostecki and his partner, so there can be no doubt about their victory.
