Supercars

Description

V8 Supercars is a great Australian sporting success story, still going strong for over a quarter of a century. It was the first local race series to gain a mainstream national following, catapulting the likes of Peter Brock and Dick Johnson to fame against the backdrop of Mount Panorama, Bathurst.

These days the sport draws huge crowds, attracts big-dollar TV rights deals, and a new generation of heroes have appeared battling over old territory, plus a host of new street circuits, turning this Australian motorsport into a globally recognised phenomenon.

The V8s have evolved into today's Supercars Championship, creating household megastars such as Craig Lowndes, Marcos Ambrose, Jamie Whincup, and Scott McLaughlin. Supercars gives detailed insight into how each and every championship was won, tracking the development of the Supercars class between 1993-2010.

This comprehensive and absorbing account of a uniquely Australian sport is a must for any race fan's bookshelf.

About the Author

Luke West, editor and compiler of Australia's Greatest Racecars is a lifelong motorsport tragic who has turned his passion into his work - if you can call it that. He is an Australian motoring historian with an eye for colourful characters, quirky content and significant moments and has a special fondness for digging up previously untold stories and bringing them to life. Luke had a stint at racing newspaper Auto Action prior to spending eight years as editor of Australia's favourite retro motoring magazine, Australian Muscle Car. He was also a V8 Supercars oncourse announcer for several seasons - including anchoring the Bathurst 1000 PA commentary team - following the series around the nation. Luke was born and bred in Sydney. The first word he uttered was 'car' and as a toddler he gave peace signs pronouncing 'Hey Charger'. He attended his first race at Amaroo Park in 1979 and drove his siblings crazy holding mini-Bathurst 1000s around the family home using Matchbook cars. He once owned a Fiat. Luke lives in Sydney's Hills District and is married with two adult sons, who have not caught the racing bug from their old man. He is the author of the Immortals of Australian Motor Racing: The Local Heroes and his previous book was Supercars: The Holden vs Ford Era.
