Think Ford and you automatically think of Allan Moffat. Although he raced many cars for other car makers throughout his long and illustrious career it will always be his exploits at the wheel of the factory-backed Falcons during the 1970s that will be most celebrated.
   
  Through his epic battles with the factory-backed Holdens, Allan did more than most to create the Bathurst legend and lay the foundations for the great Supercar V8 racing we so passionately enjoy today.
   
  Allan Moffat leapt to prominence in 1969 driving his red Coca-Cola Trans Am Mustang during the golden years of the Australian Touring Car Championship when the title was fought out between stars of the day like Norm Beechey, Bob Jane and Ian ‘Pete’ Geoghegan.
   
  The Trans Am Mustang became Moffat’s signature car, but it was his exploits at the wheel of a series of awesome Falcon racers that made him a household name throughout Australia.
   
  But there is much more to Allan’s career, like his American Trans Am outright winning achievement in a Lotus Cortina. His David and Goliath battles at the wheel of a Mazda RX7 during the 1980s, his against the odds victory in the inaugural round of the World Touring Car Championship driving a Holden Commodore at Monza in Italy in 1987 and winning the Fuji 500 in a Ford Sierra in 1989.
   
  Wherever he went, whatever he raced, Moffat succeeded. He was the consummate professional, never leaving anything to chance, with a rare blend of skill, mechanical sympathy and a steely determination to beat the odds and his rivals to the chequered flag.
   
  With four Bathurst victories and four Australian Touring Car titles to his name Moffat’s record speaks for itself including winning numerous endurance championships and the inaugural Sports Sedan Championship. Allan also achieved class wins in each of the International 24-hour classic races at Daytona, Spa and Le Mans.
   
  Allan Moffat is, above all, a winner.
