Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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?

Book excerpt: A rollicking ride through the early days of Australian Motorsport set in 1900-1918 in Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, the true story of bitter rivalry between two Brisbane car importers/dealers: E.G.Eager Son and Canada Cycle and Motor (CCM). There are four main characters: Fred Z. Eager, Alec Fraser Jewell, E.G.Eager and CCM managing director A.V.Dodwell. The paths of speedsters Fred Eager and Alec Jewell collide on Christmas Day, 1916, on Southport Beach at the first attempt to set an Australian land speed record. Whitey in the premier motorsport event of hill climbs so they decided to stage an event of their own, bespoke for Studebaker. This race would nullify Fred Eagers driving skills and suit the big-engined Studey: A straight line speed contest against the clock on the firm low-tide sand of Southport (Surfers Paradise) beach. Only one of them could win ... Or could they?

Book excerpt: Magnificent stories often originate from humble beginnings. And so it is with Elfin Sports Cars.Built in a Besser Block factory in suburban Adelaide, Elfin's products were at the vanguard of competitive Australian motorsport from the late 1950s until the premature death of founder Garrie Cooper, at just 46 years of age, in 1982.From spritely closed-wheel sports cars to ferocious V8-powered Formula 5000s the greatest Australian drivers of the time - including Vern Schuppan, John McCormack, Larry Perkins, John Bowe, Frank Matich, Kevin Bartlett and Spencer Martin, and international luminaries, Formula One World Champion, James Hunt, and Ferrari ace, Didier Pironi - drove Elfin to 29 major Australian titles, along with winning the Singapore, Malaysian, and New Zealand Grands Prix along the way.Today almost every Elfin built remains extant and many are still competing in historic motorsport, the ultimate testament to the skilful engineering and incredible ingenuity of Elfin Sports Cars.With a foreword by ex-Formula One driver and Le Mans 24-Hour winner, Vern Schuppan AM, Elfin: The Spirit of Speed goes behind the legend to expose the extraordinary tales, many yet untold, from those closest to the manufacturer: family members, drivers, team members, employees, and Elfin owners; in fact more than 50 interviews were conducted by author, David Dowsey.Specially commissioned studio photography by Richard Weinstein, along with period historic images bring the story to life, while extremely high production values - and an imposing 704 page count - create a fitting legacy to this great Australian story.

Download or read book Fifty Magnificent Years of Bathurst written by Adrian Musolino and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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
