About The Author
Colin Bond
Colin Bond OAM is an Australian former racing driver. Bond reached the highest levels in Australian motorsport in 1969 when he was recruited to the newly formed Holden Dealer Team. He quickly found success, winning the 1969 Hardie-Ferodo 500 mile race, now the Bathurst 1000. He was Peter Brock’s team-mate in Holden’s 1974 Australian Touring Car Championship-winning team. Bond won the 1975 Australian Touring Car Championship himself, for Holden, before defecting to Ford to support Allan Moffat’s championship dominance.
