Before regular TV broadcasts, we relied for race reports on the written word published by newspapers and magazines. 

The Australian motor racing media in the 1960’s and ‘70’s were trail blazers for today’s TV and social media ‘talking-heads’.  The written word had to convey fact and emotion to the reader in a way that could be understood by the millions who read their reports and opinions.

Two of the best exponents of this ‘black art’ are Phil Christensen and Peter McKay.  Now both ‘retired’ from their previous occupations, their memories of racing, drivers, cars, overseas trips to Grand Prix, le Mans and more, plus numerous controversies will keep you entertained and enlightened!
