In a remarkable turn of events, former Supercars adversaries Shane van Gisbergen and Scott McLaughlin have joined forces for the Rolex 24 at Daytona, co-driving the No. 91 Trackhouse by TF Sport Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R. This collaboration not only marks their first time sharing a car but also involves an unusual arrangement: both drivers are using the same seat insert.

Van Gisbergen provided insights into this unique setup, highlighting the adaptability required from both drivers. He emphasized that sharing a seat insert demands precise coordination and mutual understanding, as even minor discomforts can impact performance during the grueling 24-hour endurance race.
The partnership between van Gisbergen and McLaughlin is a significant departure from their intense rivalry in the Supercars Championship, where both clinched three titles each. Their collaboration in the Rolex 24 showcases a newfound camaraderie and a shared goal of conquering one of motorsport’s most challenging events.

As the race unfolds, all eyes will be on this dynamic duo to see how their combined skills and shared equipment influence their performance on the iconic Daytona circuit.
