This book records and now preserves the history of Australian motorsport. Huge proportions of it were just on the very edge of being lost. By the time you have read this book, you will be unbeatable at Australian motor racing trivia around any race campground fire pit or BBQ. You will know what the deadliest day was trackside in this country, the speedway promoter who discovered and named one of Australia’s biggest international rock groups, the most extreme financial car racing venue disaster of all time, why many residential roads have names the people who live there don’t appreciate, and what venue built its own railway station which is still in use today. You will discover places worth dragging the family off to so you can take photos of rusting artefacts and sprout knowledgeable but boring nostalgic conversations. You’ll also be amazed at some of the historic car racing locations you’ve unknowingly been driving past. How do you locate old car venues when some were utterly demolished 90 years ago, an industrial complex built on the same spot, which was in turn torn down and replaced with a university, a lake or a multi-storey housing estate? This roll call of mine started out with two simple questions that most petrol heads in this country ask themselves sooner or later. How many car racing facilities have closed in Australia – and why?

Since 1950, fifteen Australians and nine New Zealanders have raced in world championship Formula One, the pinnacle of motor racing. Three - Jack Brabham, Denny Hulme and Alan Jones - have won the world title. Two have died in the attempt without ever facing the world championship starters' lights. So few drivers make it to Formula One. Ever fewer succeed in the fastest and most challenging four-wheeled sport of all. Now John Smailes, author of the bestselling Climbing the Mountain, Race Across the World, Mount Panorama and Speed Kings, gives us the definitive story of our involvement with Formula One, from the pioneer days in the aftermath of World War II, to the championship glory of Brabham, Hulme and Jones, the grit and determination of Mark Webber, and Australia's current Formula One star, the irrepressible Daniel Ricciardo, all the way to potential champions of the future like Oscar Piastri. With over 150 stunning photographs, and interviews with drivers past and present, as well as the engineers, managers and team owners behind the scenes, this is the must-have book for every Australian and New Zealand fan of Formula One.

This book takes the Immortals concept made famous in cricket and applies it to motorsport, choosing the best of the best from Bathurst and the Australian Touring Car Championship (now the Supercars Championship) and other local series. It delves into the careers and characteristics of icons Peter Brock, Allan Moffat and Dick Johnson along with modern-era champions such as Mark Skaife, Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup: heroes who are not just high achievers but influential identities who set a new benchmark and changed local racing forever through skill, determination and sheer will. It tells the remarkable stories behind each Immortal's rise, from the fabled tale of rock star Johnson to the little-known facts surrounding Lowndes' Bathurst arrival in 1994 that, a few hours earlier, teetered on the brink of disaster. The Immortals of Australian Motor Racing: the Local Heroes is the third instalment in Gelding Street Press's Immortals of Australian Sport series. In it, motorsport writer Luke West gives readers insights into his 10 chosen immortals and their influence on the national scene.

It used to be said that Australian motor sport only had one real race a year and all the rest was just practice. That race of course was the Bathurst 1000 (or the Bathurst 500 in the days of imperial measure). The 2012 event marked the 50th year of Australia's Great Race at Mount Panorama. While it would be unfair to all the other events on the local motor racing calendar to suggest the earlier statement is still true today, there is little doubt that the Bathurst 1000 remains the 'Jewel in the Crown' of Australian motor sport. For one weekend a year, this regional city, 210 kilometres west of Sydney, becomes Australia's motor sport Mecca. It is little wonder then that this race has become the most hard-fought and the most important to win of all races. A win at Bathurst can erase the pain of an entire poor season. If you said to most Australian race drivers at the start of a season, "You can have your choice of a good year in the V8 Supercar (touring car) championship or you can win Bathurst?" nine out of 10 drivers would choose the latter. There is no arguing that Bathurst is a sacred place for Australian motor racing and the classic 500-mile or 1000-kilometre races held at the famous Mountain circuit annually since 1963 have provided countless memories for many Australian race fans. Bathurst: The Legend of Australia's Iconic Motor Race, Third Edition was never meant to be a definitive history of the Mount Panorama classic. That would require a book of much greater depth. However, the authors of this publication have set out to produce an entertaining read that highlights the incidents that they believe made the legend of the Mountain what it is today. We hope you gain as much enjoyment by reading Bathurst: The Legend of Australia's Iconic Motor Race, Third Edition as we did by producing it. Allan Edwards, Publisher
