Lee and Victoria weren’t the only ones to love “The Great Race: 60 years of the Bathurst 1000” by Aaron Noonan… Here is what the QBD crew thought:
Written by Australia’s premier motorsports journalist Aaron Nooan comes a 60-year recount of the Bathurst classic. With all the cars, stars, thrills, and spills you’ll ever need to know – let’s drive in!
Held on the world-famous Mount Panorama, the “Bathurst 1000” is undoubtedly Australia’s ‘Great Race’. From its beginnings in the 1960s as a 500-mile race for standard production cars, the “Bathurst 1000” has evolved into an annual multi-million-dollar battle between purpose-built, millimetre-perfect V8-powered Supercars. Now, Aaron Noonan takes us on a drive down memory lane, looking at the thrills, the spills, the legends, and the losers of the race’s history. This is an eye-opening account of how the circuit has evolved from a scenic tourist drive into a world-famous Mecca of motorsport – we highly recommend!
