V8 Supercars championship winner Shane van Gisbergen has made the final year of the iconic Ford v Holden rivalry one to remember with a burnout to conclude the final race of the 2022 season at the Adelaide 500.

But it wasn’t just any burnout – the Kiwi champion whipped his Holden ZB Commodore around the trophy that was on display on the track.

Then, to the delight of the crowd, the three-time champion took off his racing boot and used it to keep the throttle pinned down while he climbed out of the vehicle and onto the roof to celebrate. 

‘It wasn’t too planned — I like to wing it,’ van Gisbergen said the amazing display.

‘We talked about what I was allowed to do, and they told me to do it somewhere around the trophy.

‘I was s**t-scared of hitting the thing, I left a lot of room.

‘I got out and it was still smoking — it was awesome.’

While van Gisbergen won the championship, rising star Broc Feeney has pulled off a memorable maiden Supercars win to give Holden fans a joyous farewell to the red lion at the Adelaide 500.
