Full Tilt: A champion's story of Ford, Holden and the defining era of motor-racing

Ford versus Holden and beyond, the story of motor-racing's greatest era through the eyes of a champion

Bathurst winner, Australian Touring Car Champion, and the only man to have won on both sides of racing's most iconic rivalry - Ford versus Holden - this is the high-octane story of motor-racing legend Colin Bond.

Against the backdrop of the golden age of motorsport, Full Tilt is packed with accounts of racing with and against other superstars like Peter Brock and Allan Moffat. It captures the drama, danger and intense competition of the sixties to the nineties, the incredibly engineered Monaros, Toranas, Falcons and Commodores, the dirty tricks, dodgy deals and maverick team managers.

A celebration of speed, skill and the defining era of motor-racing, Full Tilt is essential reading for any lover of the sport. Written with bestselling motorsport journalist John Smailes, this is the incredible story of a life raced at full tilt.
