Win or bust for van Gisbergen in Adelaide

Fresh from success in New Zealand, Shane van Gisbergen is looking at a last-gasp Supercars title challenge in Adelaide.

SVG cleaned up in his Aussie Racing Cars cameo at Highlands Motorsport Park over the weekend, as well as finishing fourth in the Highlands 6 Hour in the invitational Brabham BT62.

He spoke exclusively with the Speedcafe Newscast on his return to Australia, getting ready for his title showdown with Brodie Kostecki. Listen here:

Going into the VAILO Adelaide 500 decider at the end of the month, van Gisbergen trails Kostecki by 131 points, with 300 points on offer over two 250 km races.

The defending champion – a street race specialist – will give it his all to end his Supercars career on a high before he heads to America for a new career in NASCAR. As well, SVG talks about his big move to America.
