The book cover
Featuring all 45 cars to race with the famous ‘lion and helmet’ logo of HRT, this hardcover collector’s book is individually numbered, making it a truly special collectable item.
The book includes all seven of the team’s Bathurst 1000-winning cars and more V8-powered hero cars driven by the likes of driving legends Peter Brock, Mark Skaife, Craig Lowndes, Greg Murphy, Garth Tander and many more through to the end of the 2016 season.
Holden moved its official backing from the team across to Triple Eight Race Engineering for the 2017 season, however the former HRT lives on today as Walkinshaw Andretti United.
