An all-star car • It’s the only Holden Dealer Team-built Torana to have been raced by Peter Brock, Colin Bond, John Harvey and Bob Morris. Uniquely, not one of them ever raced it on mainland Australia - while for Harvey, it was the vehicle that catapulted him into an 11-year stint with the HDT.

Last of a kind • It’s 10 years since Holden released the Craig Lowndes Special Edition VF Commodore which brought the curtain down on 50 years of racing driver signature editions.

The legend Part 2 • From the rubble of a disastrous Bathurst that could have been his financial ruin, Dick Johnson emerged as the new Ford racing hero, beginning a what would be a hugely successful 20-year career as a professional touring car racer.

Red-hot Holdens • Holden’s illustrious touring car racing history did not start with the V8 Monaro. It started 60 years ago with Norm Beechey and Brian Muir in their highly-developed, triplecarbied EH Holdens. This is the story of how Beechey and Muir electrified race fans in 1964 with their spectacular red-hot Red sixes

Postcard from Oulton Park • For an Aussie motorsport enthusiast on holidays in the old dart, attending this year’s British Touring Car Championship round at Oulton Park was like stepping into a time machine and traveling back to Oran Park in the ‘90s.

Stan the man • Stan Pomroy’s name is not written large in the Aussie motorsport and automotive hall of fame, but like so many car lovers his four-wheeled life story is fascinating and worthy of celebrating. From economy driving champion in the 1950s, to Bathurst 500 top four finisher in the 1960s, to team manager of Chrysler’s Series Production racing effort in the 1970s, Pomroy did it all.
