SVG knows a thing or two about racing with a broken wing, and it’s certainly not for the faint of heart!

Shane van Gisbergen, often referred to as SVG, has built a reputation not just on speed, but on resilience. Whether it’s battling through mechanical issues, unpredictable weather, or a damaged car, SVG embodies the spirit of a true racer—never backing down, even when the odds are stacked. Racing with a “broken wing” isn’t just about the physical damage to a car; it’s a metaphor for pushing forward despite setbacks, for finding strength when you’re not at 100%, and for proving that heart can sometimes outweigh horsepower.

In the high-stakes world of motorsport, where every millisecond counts, SVG has shown time and time again that determination and racecraft can keep you in the fight even when the machine is compromised. It’s the kind of grit that separates champions from contenders. He’s raced with damaged aerodynamics, ailing components, and under immense pressure—yet he finds a way to adapt, to survive, and often, to thrive.
