van Gisbergen won on debut with his new team and contended for the title the following season, eventually finishing runner-up to future teammate Jamie Whincup.
He moved to Triple Eight in 2016 as teammate to Whincup and Craig Lowndes and scored Holden’s 500th championship race win at Symmons Plains among seven race victories, plus he claimed the Enduro Cup with Alex Prémat and the Jason Richards Memorial Trophy at Pukekohe on his way to his first Supercars title.
He remained a regular contender in the years that followed and broke through for a Bathurst 1000 win in 2020, but finished off the Gen2 era with two of the most dominant seasons in ATCC/Supercars Championship history. van Gisbergen romped to the 2021 title off the back of 14 wins and 23 podiums from 30 races, including a streak of seven victories to start the season – a period where he also posted extracurricular triumphs in the New Zealand Grand Prix, GT World Challenge and Bathurst 6 Hour.
His early-season haul was all the more impressive given van Gisbergen broke a collarbone and cracked three ribs in a mountain biking accident after the opening Supercars round, driving through the pain to sweep the following event at Sandown.
He reset the record books in 2022 with 21 race wins across the season, including another emotional Jason Richards Memorial Trophy victory in Supercars' final visit to Pukekohe as well as a second Bathurst triumph alongside Garth Tander.
