ON THIS DAY: April 18

Delve into the Speedcafe.com archives and rediscover the biggest stories over the past decade which had us talking, and have gone on to help shape our sport.

On this day in 2012, Shane van Gisbergen was hopeful of signing a new deal with Stone Brothers Racing.

The 2016 Supercars champion said, “It would be pretty cool to carry on with Stone Brothers. Everything is pretty good here at the moment and I don’t see any reason why that will change.”

Van Gisbergen did sign a new three-year deal with the team which became Eerebus Motorsport but he controversially left the then Gold Coast squad at the conclusion of the season.

Take a trip down Speedcafe.com memory lane on this day, April 18.
