In V8 Sleuth’s ‘Commodore Chronicles’, award-winning journalists Aaron Noonan and Stefan Bartholomaeus explore the history of every Commodore touring car and V8 Supercar to be built and raced in the period.

They outline the trials and tribulations of each car, ranging from the famous Commodores of the Holden Racing Team right through to the cars built by the small-budget privateer teams of the era.
