‘The Immortals of Australian Motorcycle Racing: the World Champs honors the country’s greatest motorcycle racers, from the nail-biting 500cc and MotoGP eras to the grueling Dakar Rally and the gritty Supercross and Speedway scenes.
Author and veteran moto-journalist Darryl Flack picks his top 12 riders before delving into the lives of some of Australia’s all-time greats, including Keith Campbell, Tom Phillis, Kel Carruthers, Wayne Gardner, Troy Bayliss, Jason Crump, and Gregg Hansford. The remarkable tales of each rider’s ascent to immortality are told in the book, along with the extraordinary adversity they overcame.

“Diving deep into the lives and achievements of the 12 Immortals was a very unique experience,” says Flack. “Focusing so intensely on what gave them immortality brought to light a number of important traits, including their obsession with excellence no matter the cost, their intelligence and commitment, and their extreme physical and mental toughness. Hopefully, I did them justice.”
