About the Author

Luke West, editor and compiler of Australia's Greatest Racecars is a lifelong motorsport tragic who has turned his passion into his work - if you can call it that. He is an Australian motoring historian with an eye for colourful characters, quirky content and significant moments and has a special fondness for digging up previously untold stories and bringing them to life. Luke had a stint at racing newspaper Auto Action prior to spending eight years as editor of Australia's favourite retro motoring magazine, Australian Muscle Car. He was also a V8 Supercars oncourse announcer for several seasons - including anchoring the Bathurst 1000 PA commentary team - following the series around the nation.

Luke was born and bred in Sydney. The first word he uttered was 'car' and as a toddler he gave peace signs pronouncing 'Hey Charger'. He attended his first race at Amaroo Park in 1979 and drove his siblings crazy holding mini-Bathurst 1000s around the family home using Matchbook cars. He once owned a Fiat. Luke lives in Sydney's Hills District and is married with two adult sons, who have not caught the racing bug from their old man. He is the author of the Immortals of Australian Motor Racing: The Local Heroes and his previous book was Supercars: The Holden vs Ford Era.
