Have designed some driver and car profiles to display with my models. Profiles detail a short summary of history of driver and car together with a photo picture which is printed on glossy photo grade paper and framed. Interested to hear from others who have their own profiles etc. or have information where to obtain profiles eg. internet sites with this information.

So far I have done driver profiles for Dick Johnson, Alan Moffat and Peter brock as well as Car profile/specification for Bathurts Cars such as Johnson XD Tru Blu and Brock 28C.

Looking for information to do a profile on the 1977 Moffat/Bond 1 & 2 win at Bathurst and Johnson/Bowe 1989 Sierra Bathurst Winner.

Some good information recently seen in the recent Bathurst Mag.

What's this Bathurst mag? I get AMC and Unique Cars, but this sounds interesting! Is there a website address for them?

Great idea. Have though about doing something similar with my collection only have not had the time.

I can't give you any great web sites. Sometimes the best info comes from the telecasts of races. If you can watch some old Bathurst tapes/dvd's they might tell you something that you hadn't picked up on before.

As you siad the bathurst mag is a good source for info.

Good luck in tracking down the history and putting together the driver profiles.

Be interested to see what you get for the Holdens & Drivers

Nick Short,

The mag I'm referring to is 'Motor Racing Australia', 2002 Special Bathurst Edition. There doesn't appear to be a web site but you can contact the publisher 'Chevron Publishing Group' at email sales@chevron.com.au

In the mag there's a story on Brocky's first win, Fords shock '74 win by Goss and a story on various diecast models based on the Bathurst races.
