There’s been a few biographies on Dick Johnson, the driver, over the years but until now never one on the Dick Johnson team. Dick Johnson Racing: the first to 1000 celebrates the long and successful record of the Dick Johnson team as DJR hits the milestone of 1000 championship round starts. The fact that DJR is also the longest-lasting team in Supercars is remarkable in itself given that Johnson himself made his first Australian Touring Car Championship start a whole 10 years before the 1981 ATCC, which is considered to be the start of what we know today as Shell V-Power Racing. This superbly presented 330-plus pages book is widely available online and from retailers, but get in quick as the limited edition signed by Johnson himself has already sold out.
