Mark Skaife Story, The - Australian Motor Racing Legend

Mark Skaife is an all-time Australian motor racing legend. He has dominated the V8 Supercar landscape over the past two decades. He is a five-time Australian Touring Car/V8 Supercar champion, and in 2007 he eclipsed the great Peter Brock’s record for the most number of championship round wins. He is also a five-times winner of the Bathurst 1000 – only Larry Perkins, Jim Richards and Brock have won more Bathursts. But few drivers can match Skaife for versatility, for he was also highly successful in openwheelers - the only driver to win Bathurst, the touring car championship and the openwheeler Gold Star title all in one year. An exciting driver with a reputation for racing hard but always fairly, and a supremely fast qualifier, Mark Skaife was the complete package: a fiercely determined and highly talented racer. Undoubtedly one of the best we’ve ever seen
