The Great Race 21 - 2001 Bathurst 1000
Priced:
A$33.00
In
2001, the Bathurst 1000 started to settle down again. The race came
back to October, but one week after the traditional long weekend
date, and the support races had some pretty exciting racing on the
Saturday.
Mount Panorama threw its natural defences at the 39-car field this
year. Milllons sat in front of television sets, warm, well-fed and
almost unbelieving at the events unfolding as Brad Jones, who hadn't
come anywhere close to winning a race all year, chased down Skaife's
nearly-out-of-fuel Commodore during the dramatic final laps.
This year's race, with all of its trials and tribulations, proved
that Mount Panorama is the power, and the power behind the Mountain
is the V8 Supercar. That's exactly what this book is about, every
year. |
