The Essential Bathurst Annual
Bathurst 2010 The Great Race 30 tells the full story of the 2010 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000. This is the original Bathurst annual hard-cover book, the definitive publication on Australia’s Great Race. The story of this always-epic and often heartbreaking event is presented in 256 pages, illustrated by some 400 images shot by some of Australia’s best motorsport photographers. The book also boasts a comprehensive statistical analysis covering all facets of the race – there’s even a full race history record for each competing car. This fabulous annual hard-cover book is a collector’s prized possession, and a great gift idea.
