- Summary:
-
"Built more than 50 years ago by enthusiastic young volunteers from the Queensland Motor Sporting Club, Lakeside circuit is now one of the world's classic racetracks. Fast and technically demanding, it has earned the respect of everyone who has ever raced there. Among the famous champions who have battled wheel-to-wheel on its hilly, twisting bends are some of the finest racers of all time, including the great Jim Clark, the incomparable Jack Brabham and his close friend Bruce McLaren, Jackie Stewart and Graham Hill, Chris Amon, Denny Hulme and Jochen Rindt, Lorenzo Bandini and Piers Courage. Whether driving a Lotus, BRM, Brabham or Ferrari, they have thrilled generations of Australian enthusiasts at Lakeside. The roll-call of Australian divers at Lakeside is headed by local heroes Dick Johnson and John French along with the likes of Kevin Bartlett, Frank Matich, the Geoghegan brothers, Frank Gardiner and Glyn Scott."--Back cover.
