Shane Van Gisbergen might not be a household name everywhere, but the race car driver from New Zealand has mashed together his day job with his hobby in the form of a VF Holden Commodore Supercar modified for drifting. Yes, that is a road-racing car repurposed to go through corners sideways instead of planted. And nobody will do that better than Van Gisbergen.

SVG, as he’s known casually, has spent the year hopping back and forth between racing GT cars like the McLaren 650S and his “day-job” Holden Commodore, which leads the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship by seven points over teammate Jamie Whincup. Van Gisbergen occasionally has competed in New Zealand drift events since 2012 so combining the two events makes sense in a perfectly crazy way.

We should clarify that when we say “Supercars,” we’re talking about the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship—a series that features 640-horsepower race cars knocking wheels around road courses in Australia and New Zealand—rather than the curvy high-price road-car offerings from Ferrari, McLaren, or Lamborghini. Van Gisbergen races in the Supercars Championship—formerly called the V8 Supercars Championship—for Red Bull Australia, who turned one of the team’s retired Holden VF Commodores from a road-racing car into a tire-shredding drift machine.

Red Bull Australia left alone both the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Holden V8 and the rear-mounted six-speed transaxle, but changes were made to make it more driftable. That included massive fender flares, a round steering wheel instead of the usual flat-bottom one, and repositioning of the gear shifter to make room for a handbrake handle, which the car usually does not have.

Unsurprisingly, Van Gisbergen hit it out of the park, drifting Sydney Motorsports Park mostly by track lighting after dark. We know good tire smoke (and so do the great people Down Under) and this is good tire smoke.
