Jess Dane: Bathurst Shane van Gisbergen New Partner and Net Worth 2022

Shane van Gisbergen, an RSC driver, and his relationship with partner Jess Dane has been an open secret till now.

At this point, everyone in the racing world would have been aware of their somewhat concealed but still secret romance with one another. But up until now, they had not publicized it or made it official.

Throughout the Bathurst 1000 weekend in early October, Gisbergen and his girlfriend acknowledged their relationship. They accepted it to be true to the Wide World of Sports, albeit they have otherwise kept their personal lives apart.

It has been stated that Triple Eight Racing is fully aware of and supportive of their love affair, even though two top staff members romantically engaging with each other may lead to complications with the team. Triple Eight Racing has expressed its full support for the pair. However, the organization was reticent to address queries about how a relationship between two top executives at a sports club may affect the team’s dynamic.

Earlier this year, Dane traveled to France alongside her boyfriend van Gisbergen to make his debut in the prestigious Le Mans 24-hour race. A week before the Bathurst 1000, Dane also participated in his World Rally Championship cameo in New Zealand.

Triple Eight Racing’s previous owner, Roland Dane, was heavily involved in operating the team after its inception, and his daughter, Jessica Dane, is a significant player in the organization.

She has a 30% ownership position in the Banyo, Queensland-based team and joined the ownership group in 2017, joining Supercars legend Jamie Whincup and Australian billionaire Terry Quinn.

In addition to his duties as the group’s business operations manager, Dane has also served as the assistant team manager for the club’s Bathurst entry this season, which features Craig Lowndes and Declan Fraser.

Supercars Champion Shane van Gisbergen has an estimated net worth of $3 million per Show Biz Corner. Meanwhile, his partner and wife-to-be girlfriend Jess Dane, the co-owner of Triple Eight Race Engineering, net worth is more substantial than his.

The 33-year-old racer is able to amass his fortune as a result of his prosperous career as a racer. He enjoys motorcycling and often can be seen riding his dirt bike off-road in his spare time.

Throughout his career as a race car driver, he has amassed an impressive number of milestones. The supercar driver from New Zealand, Shane Van Gisbergen, has two Bathurst 1000 racing championship medals, which increased his remuneration.

Because he is now the best racing driver participating in the Supercars Championship, Gisbergen is almost certainly paid one of the highest wages in the industry by the team he drives for.

The staggering number of 2493 points he has accumulated throughout his career demonstrates that he is deserving of both his current position and the advantages associated with it.

As the most successful member of the Triple Eight Race Engineering team, Van Gisbergen will get the lion’s share of the organization’s revenue due to his recent victories in the racing world.

Salary And Earnings 2022

An article in The Daily Telegraph claims that in 2015, the winning driver in the V8 Supercars racing series might earn as much as $1 million. Thus, he must be making a fortune. 

It is reasonable to pinpoint that Shane Van Gisbergen’s illustrious career as a race car driver earned substantial money. He doesn’t enjoy it when other people gravitate around him because of his success and fortune.

A professional racer is expected to maintain a high standard of living while earning a comfortable living wage. Although Shane did not disclose his current salary, his career as a racing car driver brought him considerable money.

By the time he was five years old, Shane had saved enough money to purchase a Suzuki ATV, and by the time he was seventeen, the aspiring racer was competing in the V8 Supercars for the Ford team Stone Brothers Racing.

Shane van Gisbergen and Jess Dane have an age gap of two years. Born on May 9, 1989, Gisbergen is 33 years old. Meanwhile, Jess Dane turned 31 on August 14, a couple of months ago.

Although Dane’s precise date of birth has not been out on the internet, one can figure it out by putting together her birthday posts she makes every year on August 14 on her Instagram account @jessdane14. She was born in the year 1991.

“Motorsport gypsy, happiest when moving, chronic multitasker, building my library,” Dane has written on her Instagram bio. Recently her relationship with Triple Eight Race Engineering racer Shane van Gisbergen came out to the public.

Although most people have known about their relationship from the beginning, the two have kept their romance a secret from those around them for quite some time. The possibility of their married is entirely off the table for now; thus, they are not yet legally married to one another.

Even so, there have been no rumors or discussions of an engagement taking place anytime soon. Because they have kept their relationship a secret from everyone else, they will probably conceal their engagement in the same manner.

After her father, Roland Dane retired and stepped down from the managing director role of Triple Eight Race Engineering in February of 2021, Jessica Dane filled in his shoes and became the new Commercial Operations & Team Co-Owner for the engineering company. Previously she worked as the racing team’s Team Coordinator & Communications Manager.

Shane van Gisbergen’s parents, Robert van Gisbergen and mother, Karen Wallace, are proud of their son.

And why would they not be proud? Their boy Shane has achieved so much success in motorsports that one can only imagine. In 2016 when he won the Sydney 500 racing championship, his parents, Robert and Karen, were in the stands.

Shane van Gisbergen became emotional after winning his first Supercars championship and paid respect to his parents’ efforts to support him in his quest to win the Supercars championship in 2016.

“I owe everything to my family,” Gisbergen added, “To have them there and be one of the first people I see after this moment was a really cool thing.” His father, Robert van Gisbergen, was a ferocious racer during his day, but relatively few people remember him now. Nevertheless, he was one of the terrifying racers.

Robert Van Gisbergen is a veteran rally racer, and when his son Shane was five years old, he purchased him an ATV, which likely helped launch Shane’s career. But even though SVG acquired the ins and outs of the business from RVG, it seems that RVG may suddenly be outclassed by his youthful apprentice.

Speaking of other members of his family, Shane has a sister. Lauren is the only sibling he has. Lauren Van Gisbergen often shows out to races to cheer him on. The race car driver comes from a loving family who are pretty pleased with his accomplishments thus far. According to their modern Karen, Shane’s sister is a born ice skater who enjoys it.
