"The Great Race" is the only annual book in the world to focus on a single motor race, and has done so since the first annual (of the 1981 race) was produced. The book concerns itself with more than simply the race, beginning with a detailed analysis of the major Australian touring car events leading up to the October enduro — the backdrop from which Race Week at Bathurst begins.
This book (now in its 11th annual edition) takes the reader behind the scenes of all the unfolding drama at the famous Mount Panorama road circuit, beginning from the moment the teams arrive at Bathurst a full week before the race. It is the only publication that provides all the race details and all the behind-the-scenes information of the people, the vehicles and the event itself during one of the most fascinating week's in Australian motor sport.
Throughout the story of the 1991 Bathurst 1000 arc team placings at various important stages of the six-hour race, and breakouts giving meaningful statistical and information background. The team contributing to "The Great Race" includes five senior motor-sport researchers, a team of reporters covering the pit lane action all week and no less than 11 of Australia's top motorsport photographers.
"The Great Race" is a very important reference book for motorsport enthusiasts each year. Nowhere else is Australia's biggest motor race covered in such detail, which includes the Australian Touring Car Championship. full results of the Great Race itself, the only lap chart published as well as biographies and photographs of all the drivers in this year's unique event.
One of the most important events on the Australian sporting calendar, this uniquely Australian event ranks among the world's greatest endurance races. This is the story of Australia's greatest motor race — you can't get it anywhere else.
