Leigh Diffy has earned his slot at the top. He's had to win over fans of Indy car and every other event he has called and he's won the fans confidence. I'm glad he's on the NBA Cup broadcast now.
When SVG won at Chicago, I was shocked they had a camera at his feet. Shane wouldn't let V8 Supercars film his footwork. He argued it was part of his winning advantage, even though all the other drivers heel, toed on their down shifts.
Ricky is spot on, Gibbs, Reddick, Bowman and Larson are already making gains on Van Cheeseburger. Heck, Chris Buescher took him to the woodshed at Watkins Glen.
SVG learned his craft in the V8 Supercars, no oval racing in Australia, passes are set up 2 or 3 corners before. I've said it before, but I will say it again, SVG is winning his circuit races, track/street, by being better on braking than the other drivers, three pedals not one. Did you guys learn nothing from watching Marcos Ambrose dominate at the Glen, there was times when he passed 2 cars under brakes. SVG is not so good on the throttle, which is why his restarts are his weakest point.
Love Ricky Rudd, he's one of my all time favorites, Iron Man for real, but his view of SVG is absurd. SVG doesn't pass anyone on a road course without roughing them up unless they just move over for him. What he did to Austin Hill to win the Sonoma Xfinity race was a road course version of exactly what Austin Dillon did the Joey Lagono. Center punch passing hack.
@@shawncarson8131 Baloney. Hill wasn't any where near him until the croquet ball, ricochet pass. SVG would have never made the corner with out the slam into Hill. There was NO slip. SVG planned it all the way. Used Hill up to stay on the track.
Hahahaha Shane...guys in Australia knew what he was doing, still couldn't keep him behind.. he will punish you for trying to cover and compromising your speed.
old fans i know,...don't give a crap about the kiwi fruit. As far as "cuz" carl,..im in Missouri and seen him as a prick at moberly raceway once. He had been at Roush a few yrs,..his lil bro got busted cheating there. "Cuz"..acted in pits like he was mr. Superstar Nascar boy and ignored fans not signing or posing for pics.
Gripping the wheel tight is death to lap times. When you breke, say into T1 at the Daytona road course, as you apply the break your hands should almost LET GO of the wheel, THe tighter yoou hold that wheel, the less the car will turn and you will lock up and miss the turn.
Drifters can let go of the wheel and let the mechanical magic work it out......road racers NEVER let go of the wheel by choice......even if lucky, you will still lose enough time to allow a slower car / driver to pass you.
Brilliant old gentleman, SVG fan learning about Nascar, and it's amazing how great it is.
Shane Van Gisbergen Is Awesome
We miss you on the track Rick.
One of the best interviews heretofore.
Leigh Diffy's Nick name back in Australia was Limp Dicky. 😅😅😅😅
Love your work LD.

Awesome Fact
I misread the title and thought it was Ricky Rudd reacting to SVG leaving NASCAR.
Exactly what I thought!!
Yeah same here . Wondering why this is the 1st I've heard of him leaving and WTF went down
Thanks for the feedback, guys. Upon further review, we can see why it may be read like that at first glance. We’ll adjust it!
Click bait got me. Haha
Australian, give yourself an uppercut bud, SVG is from New Zealand
For anyone from the US calling him an aussie, call them Canadian
Blah blah we adopted him cuz
We are both Anzacs mate that’s all that matters 😂😂
@joshoconner7448 Yeah, like Brocky was a great Kiwi driver! 😅😅
It will be a never ending battle but we are here for it😂
@@michaelcrane2475 😂😂
Get Ricky in the both finally someone that understands how Shane's getting it done these other guys are rubbish
Ricky is spot on, Gibbs, Reddick, Bowman and Larson are already making gains on Van Cheeseburger. Heck, Chris Buescher took him to the woodshed at Watkins Glen.
Legend
Love ricky and Kyle. I miss all the old farts. Rudd had great feet work on the road circuits
The Kiwis need to start calling all Americans Canadians or something cuz im starting to feel bad for them
Shane is a kiwi, from New Zealand
Maybe there confused because most decent kiwis live in Australia now and NZ has the levis brigade....501s
They don't know where NZ is

3-4 other supercar drivers would be top 5 most road courses in NASCAR as well.
@@jsmr451 Yeah, I though it, but didn't want to say it, you did. I agree.
If Carl is doing it them a trackhouse car is guaranteed to win😂😂
Just go to the races and enjoy yourself. Not that difficult.
Always thought Ricky Rudd was a great Canadian

Lol. Not correct. But nice story anyway.
Another's SVG derangement syndrome detected 😂😂😂
Hill pinched him down into the corner and he had no choice but to slide up into him. Wasn’t intentional at all on SVG’s part.

You are full of crap. SVG will do what is needed.

Who took the jam outta your donut bro? 🤣
