Description: 2023 Australian Legends of SupercarsMint Unhinged Set of 4 Booklet Stamps(One from each booklet)OverviewSupercars racing is the top category of Australian motorsport. The 2023 Australia Post Australian Legends Award honours four living legends of Supercars racing – Allan Moffat OBE, Dick Johnson AM, Mark Skaife OAM and Craig Lowndes OAM – whose record-setting achievements are inspiring the next generation. Not only have these racing drivers achieved excellence on the track in the Bathurst 1000, the Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC) and the Repco Supercars Championship, but they have also made significant contributions off the track, through industry involvement, advocacy, education and charity work. Stamps in this Issue $1.20 Alan MoffatAllan Moffat OBE (b. 1939) moved to Australia as a teenager with his family in the 1960s and went on to become one of the most successful drivers the country has ever seen. He cemented his name as a champion at Bathurst, winning both this famous race and the ATCC four times. $1.20 Dick JohnsonBorn and raised in Queensland, in 1945, Dick Johnson AM is one of the most famous faces in the history of Australian motorsport. Johnson won the ATCC and Bathurst 1000 in 1981, and went on to win four further championships (in 1982, 1984, 1988 and 1989) and the Bathurst 1000 two more times (in 1989 and 1994). Johnson retired from full-time V8 Supercar racing at the end of 1999 to focus on running his famous Dick Johnson Racing team.$1.20 Mark ScaiffeOriginally from the Central Coast of New South Wales, Mark Skaife OAM (b. 1967) remains one of the most successful drivers in Australian motorsport history. A six-time Bathurst 1000 winner, Skaife won his first Bathurst 1000 in 1991 and backed it up the following year, the same year he also won his first ATCC and the Australian Drivers Championship for open wheelers – a unique treble unlikely to be achieved again. Skaife won the ATCC again in 1994 and won the V8 Supercars Championship three years in a row, from 2000 to 2002 $1.20 Craig LowndesCraig Lowndes OAM (b. 1974) is often referred to as the “people’s champion” of Australian motorsport. Lowndes won his first “great race” at Bathurst in 1996, the same year he also won his first ATCC. He won further championships in 1998 and 1999 and cement himself as a V8 Supercar fan favourite. A seven-time Bathurst 1000 winner and six-time winner of the Sandown 500 in Melbourne, Lowndes has also won the Bathurst 12 Hour for GT cars twice, in 2014 and 2017.
