The exhilarating roar of precision machines, rivals contesting on the track, egos clashing behind the scenes, ambition, passion, dreams — it's all here, told for the first time, in the story of the Holden Racing Team.
The Holden Racing Team is one of the most popular motorsport teams in Australia. It has won six of the past seven V8 Supercar/Australian Touring Car Championships— a record unsurpassed in the history of the Championship. The story of the team is rich in controversy and conflict, peppered with motor racing's most famous names. From the legendary rivalry with Ford and the continued success of the team at V8 Supercar rounds across the nation and in New Zealand, to recent upheavals within the organisation, The Holden Racing Team looks at the nuts and bolts of the well-oiled team, its supporters and the sport of motor racing itself.
Behind the famous names of Peter Brock, Mark Skaife and Jason Bright, and the mechanical marvels in every Holden car, is a team of ordinary people with the drive to achieve extraordinary feats. Insightful interviews and anecdotes explore the vision and commitment of the people who create the team's success — from the drivers and caterers, to the pit crew and supporters. Lavishly illustrated in full colour throughout, this engaging and revealing book is an essential read for all motorsport fans. |
