Mark Skaife has been voted the 2nd greatest Australian touring car driver of all-time behind the late great Peter Brock, the 'King of the Mountain' who became a household name after a record 9 Bathurst victories.
The award was announced as V8 Supercars marked the 50th anniversary of the ATCC at the Norton 360 Challenge which has been themed as the 'Heritage Round'.
The top 50 drivers were selected on the basis of on-track success, their contribution to 50 years of local racing, dealings with fans and media, versatility and longevity across all touring car events in all eras, not just races with Championship status.
Brock, arguably the best known driver in the country and internationally for his legendary feats, particularly at the world famous Mount Panorama track at Bathurst, topped the list due to his prolific success, fan magnetism and his long-held status as the most famous race driver in Australia.
The only current ATCC/V8 Supercar drivers in the final Ten were TeamVodafone pair Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup.
The Top 10 Drivers in the History of the Australian Touring Car Championship, as voted by an expert panel of drivers, officials, the media, historians and statisticians, are:
