Success built on success! In part two we pick up the story in 1973 when Goss was already a well-established star in touring cars and had extended his racing into Sports Sedans and the fearsome Formula 5000's. The story continues to include his unsuccessful appearance at the le mans 24 Hour classic in a Porsche. Goss's early career rivals all his contemporaries - raced there, won that could have been his motto!

In Part 2 of our chat with Wally Storey, we move on to his time as a senior engineer in several of the bigger, more successful teams in the Supercars world. After his time with the Holden Racing Team he helped set up the Wayne Gardner/Coca-Cola-sponsored team, before moving on to Tasman Motorsport and Brad Jones Racing. His behind-the-scenes recollections give us a fascinating insight into how teams sometimes operate; how drivers like Brock Feeney got their start in the 'main game', and how s...

In the 1970s and into the ‘80s they were solid privateer touring car entrant/drivers. But as their careers behind the wheel began to wind down, both men would go on to become movers and shakers in the sport behind the scenes. Forbes tells us about his decision in 1990 to swap his Group A VN Commodore racer for the new and controversial all-wheel-drive Nissan GT-R ‘Godzilla’ – which delivered Bob Forbes Racing victory in the Sandown 500 and third place at Bathurst in 1991. Then, after se...

Warwick’s race-winning record is second to none in the fearsome Formula 5000 era! The only Australian ever to win the Tasman Series against all comers and the AGP joining Sir Jackie Stewart, Jim Clark, Sir Jack Brabham! He raced against Frank Matich, Niel Allen, Alan Jones, Mario Andretti, AJ Foyt and many others. His second-by-second retelling of the horrendous crash in the Lola T300 at Surfers Paradise Raceway in 1973 that almost took his life is chilling to hear. He says,...

John Smith was a fiery, super-competitive openwheeler star who in the early ‘80s matched it with then-current Formula One drivers in the Australian Grand Prix run at Calder Raceway in near-identical Formula Pacific Ralts. He is widely regarded as one of our best-ever in single seaters, but ‘Smithy’ also had a long and successful career in touring cars - in ‘works’ Toyota Corolla touring cars and then the Supra Turbo, which Smithy dubbed the ‘White Whale’. Join Smithy and Australian MUSC...

There aren't many, if ANY, Australian racing drivers with the resume as good as Colin Bond’s.
