Motorsport fans are getting a look inside the career of one of the more recognisable names in Supercars. 

After 21 years, last year saw Mark Winterbottom retire from full time driving.  

His career included a championship win in 2015 in his infamous Ford at the height of the Ford v Holden rivalry, a Bathurst win, and 39 wins overall. 

Although he may have retired from full time driving, Winterbottom has signed on to be a mentor and co-driver for Tickford Driving – partnering with Cam Waters. 

He’s also taken the time to write a memoir, ‘Frosty - The incredible true story of the boy from Blacktown who became a Bathurst king’. 

Winterbottom comes from a working class background and his introduction to the world of motorsport came at a young age. 

“I sort of started motorsport at eight years old,” he told Mike Hosking. 

“And at 44 now, I love it more than I ever have.” 

“I’ve always thought of it as a privilege to race cars, but when you have that taken away from you, or your time stops, I think you appreciate it even more.”
