About Allan Moffat
Allan George Moffat was a Canadian and Australian racing driver known for his four championships in the Australian Touring Car Championship, six wins in the Sandown 500, his four wins in the Bathurst 500/1000 and his win in the 1975 12 Hours of Sebring. Moffat was inducted into the V8 Supercars Hall of Fame in 1999. Moffat and his long-time friend and rival (and later co-driver) Peter Brock are the only drivers to have won The Great Race at Bathurst in both its 500-mile and 1000-kilometre formats. Moffat first entered the Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC) in 1965, driving a Lotus Cortina. Moffat and his Coke Mustang were involved in two of the most memorable ATCC races on record. Moffat maintains the view that he never wanted to pit at the time and that had he been left "to his own devices", he and Alan Hamilton would have won 1969 500.
