Australian Touring Car Championship four times, the Sandown 500 six
times and the Bathurst 500/1000 four times. He is one of only two
drivers to have won The Great Race at Bathurst in both formats-500
miles and 1000 kilometres. He was inducted into the V8 Supercars
Hall of Fame in 1999, and became an Australian citizen in 2004.
After he retired from racing he became an expert commentator on
motor-sport telecasts for Channel Seven, Channel 9 and the ABC.

combative height of the Ford versus Holden wars. He is the author
of a history of the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport.
