After colliding with Will Davison in race 18 at Hidden Valley Raceway in Darwin, Shane Van Gisbergen came close to losing his 50 race finishing streak.
Van Gisbergen is one of four drivers to have an active finish streak of 50 races.
Mark Winterbottom’s run of finishes at Winton and Darwin boosted his run to 52 straight finishes.
Davison has officially finished his last 55 races dating back to 2019, notably, he missed the balance of 2020 after 23Red Racing shut down.
The longest streak belongs to Nick Percat, who last retired from a race in Townsville 2020 due to an engine failure.
Van Gisbergen’s last DNF was due to a power steering failure in Townsville 2020.
Davison, Percat and van Gisbergen have a long way to catch Jamie Whincup’s benchmark of 136 consecutive races between Gold Coast 2013 and Albert Park 2018.
