Few motorsport events capture the raw, thunderous spirit of Australian racing like the James Hardie 1000 at Bathurst's Mount Panorama Circuit, and this definitive volume chronicles the legendary 1982/83 race in vivid, authoritative detail. Edited by David Hassall with photography by chief lensman Garry Sparke, the book presents the drama, speed, and spectacle of one of the world's great endurance races — immortalised on the page through striking imagery of iconic machines, including the Marlboro-liveried Holden Commodores that defined an era of Australian touring car racing. Beyond the race itself, this volume stands as a vital document of Australian motorsport culture at its most passionate and competitive, capturing the personalities, rivalries, and mechanical mastery that made Bathurst a national institution. Garry Sparke's photography brings the circuit's iconic corners and high-speed straights to vivid life, while Hassall's editorial vision ensures that every moment of the 1982/83 running is preserved with the reverence it deserves — leaving any motorsport enthusiast to wonder just how close the battle truly was on that mountain.
