Possum Bourne finished his book just a few days before a tragic and fatal road accident. The most successful rally driver to emerge from the Asia-Pacific region, Possum became a legend within his short 47-year lifetime.
He overcomes huge odds to become a professional driver in a sport that almost exclusively favours Europeans. He develops a long and unique relationship with the Subaru brand, wins the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship three times, and the Australian Rally Championship for a record seven years in a row. In 1993, a crash kills his co-driver and friend Rodger Freeth.
Dropped by the factory-supported Prodnve team for the 1996 season, Possum bounces back to the top on the strength of his determination and will to succeed.
With the support of his wife Peggy, and sister Kristine, he builds a team destined to become the most successful in Australasian rallysport
