2017 Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour | February 3-5Touring Cars

[LumpiestFish]

Really though, when will SVG ever learn patience?

 

[Northstar]

Of course my stream has a hiccup right when something happens.

 

[Spacegoat]

Fixed.

Yep.

Standard stuff from Shane there.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I don't follow V8 Supercars anymore, so I'm afraid that I'm not familiar with how he drives in that series.

Well, it was a prototypical SVG move. He might be quick and he might be aggressive, but he is the kind of driver who will move over on you going down Conrod Straight.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

If he waited a second or two longer, he would have passed him with no issue. Now it looks like he may have threw an outside chance of winning the race away with what should be an incoming penalty.

 

[NW48]

Yep.

Standard stuff from Shane there.

He'll never learn, will he?

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Now it looks like he may have threw an outside chance of winning the race away with what should be an incoming penalty.

It wouldn't be the first time. He and Scott McLaughlin tripped over one another going through the Cutting a few years ago that saw McLaughlin slide into the wall. While the stewards didn't issue a penalty, van Gisbergen was looking pretty good for the win when he stalled it coming down off the jacks in his final stop and he couldn't get it started again.

 

[Mike Rotch]

A haha! Kharma is a bitch

 

[CodeRedR51]

This race couldn't get any more ridiculous.

 

[Nexus]

Karma, yo.

 

[IforceV8]

What a hack.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Aaand he's binned it.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

A haha! Kharma is a bitch

I've often thought the Mountain has a long memory. I was just about to hit "post" on my last message - describing the stall in the pits a few years ago - when SVG hit the wall.

And of course, since it's SVG he's gone and parked it in the middle of the track.

 

[Mike Rotch]

What a dick, parks it in the middle of the track.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

What a dick

Can we start calling him Shane van Dickbergen?

At least in private. I know it might be an AUP issue.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Well, this is certainly the least exciting finish in this race over the last few years. Not a fan of a single car dominating races.

 

[NW48]

A haha! Kharma is a bitch

Took it straight outta my mouth I have never laughed so much in my life when that happened.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Can we start calling him Shane van Dickbergen?

I'll vote for that

 

[AnthonyD1993]

What a dick, parks it in the middle of the track.

I was literally going to say that. Straight douche move as douche move gets.

 

[Mike Rotch]

I'm looking forward to the amg garage mood when he turns up.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Haha, Maro sticking the boot into svg on telly! # legend

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I'm looking forward to the amg garage mood when he turns up.

Maro Engel just said "all I have seen this weekend is a lot of mistakes from Shane".

 

[NW48]

Also, Vilander and Lowndes were very classy when that crash happened.

Maro Engel, you are such a lad. Love you

 

[LumpiestFish]

What did Maro say exactly? I couldn't hear it

 

[prisonermonkeys]

What did Maro say exactly? I couldn't hear it

"It's not motorsport in my book. Um, I've got to be careful about what I say, but yeah. All I have seen this weekend is a lot of mistakes from Shane".

 

[Northstar]

I'm looking forward to the amg garage mood when he turns up.

Reports are the other teams have flocked to the AMG garage since it's so ice cold in there right now.

 

[NW48]

It's even funnier if you remember when SVG did that whole fake retirement thing, he was set to be teammates with Maro Engel at Erebus.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Can I just say, the commentary has been excellent on the feed. The English guy esp.

 

[turbofozz]

Called him out straight up.

 

[Spacegoat]

Maro Engel just said "all I have seen this weekend is a lot of mistakes from Shane".

Maro Engel is my new hero.
