Special group of Falcon Supercars celebrated in new book

Ford have may moved on to race a Mustang in Supercars since 2019, but fans of the ‘Blue Oval’ still have a lot of love for the Falcon.

And it’s the 1990s and early 2000s history of the nameplate in V8 Supercar and Aussie touring car racing that is being celebrated by V8 Sleuth in the brand-new book, ‘The Falcon Chronicles’.

Available here now to order online and the ideal gift for Christmas, this hardcover book by V8 Sleuth’s Aaron Noonan tracks the period racing history of each of the EB, EF, EL and AU Falcon V8 Supercars.

The book outlines the trials and tribulations of each car, ranging from the famous Falcons of Dick Johnson Racing and Glenn Seton Racing right through to the cars built by the small-budget privateer teams of the era.

From Bathurst 1000 winners to Australian Touring Car and V8 Supercar Champions, every car covering the EB, EF, EL and AU model range is included, featuring never-before-published, striking colour photos from the AN1 Images motorsport photo archive.

This 192-page hardcover publication is the ready-reference guide to each and every one of these cars, starting with the EB Falcon that first appeared in Australian touring car racing in late-1992.

It goes on to document the period racing history of the EF Falcon that debuted in 1995, the EL that first appeared in 1997 and the long-awaited AU Falcon that arrived in 1999.

There are 73 cars featured in chronological order in this collector’s edition book.

This engrossing and information-packed book includes cars built and raced by Dick Johnson Racing, Glenn Seton/Ford Tickford Racing, Stone Brothers Racing, Gibson and 00 Motorsport, Longhurst Racing, Allan Moffat Enterprises, Brad Jones Racing, Briggs Motorsport, Mark Larkham’s M-TEK, Paul Weel Racing, Prancing Horse Racing, CAT Racing, Toll Racing, Steve Ellery Racing, and Paragon Motorsport.

Privateer teams cars are also a significant feature of this book with cars from Colourscan Motorsport, Playscape Racing, Garry Willmington and plenty others all included.

This publication is a must-have for any Ford fan, the motorsport enthusiast with a love of the cars of the period, as well as the general fan of racing history.
