Allan Moffat sits high in the pantheon of Australian motor sport. Through the heyday of touring car racing in the '70s and '80s his rivalry with Peter Brock was legendary. Over a 17-year period, either Brock or Moffat won at Bathurst on 13 occasions. Moffat won four Australian Touring Car Championships, Brock won three. But whereas Brock was the charismatic crowd pleaser, Moffat was notoriously taciturn and intense - a man of few words and most of them gruff.

Now aged 76, Moffat is telling his story for the first time. His book is the compelling account of a young Canadian who moved to Australia with his family as a boy and became one of our greatest racing drivers. It's a tale of the great rivalry with Brock, that surprisingly ended with a driving partnership and huge mutual respect, and it's about nostalgia for the glory days of motor sport in this country, when the concept of Holden vs Ford really did divide the nation, and when Mount Panorama was the true Mecca for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Australians. Filled with intense rivalries, huge egos, on-course stories and incidents, and all against the backdrop of our motor sport history over more than forty years, this is THE book for all fans of Australian motor racing.
