From early 1976 until late 1984, Nissan Motor Co. Australia''s motor sports exploits were conducted by an internal entity known, until 1981, as the Datsun Rally Team and thereafter just as Nissan Sport. The management of the team came within the responsibilities of the Product Evaluation Manager, Howard Marsden. Between 1976 and 1981 the team won four Australian Rally Championships and four Southern Cross International Rallies as well as several other top level events in this "sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains, of ragged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains."* We saw it all along the way.Due to a string of fortuitous circumstances I was in the right place at the right time and found myself in the thick of it all until Nissan Sport was re-privatised and became Gibson Motorsport in ''85.Here collected are the facts and figures relating to the cars we used, the events we participated in, and the stories of the heroes and characters involved. For the years 1981 till late 1984 when we raced the Turbo Bluebird please see my companion book: Nissan Sport - Touring Car Racing in Australia.

¿There¿s probably no better sport than Formula E to present and study the science and practice of innovation within (motor)sport, and this book is a must read for those active within this fascinating areä.- Dr. Kristof de Mey, Sports Technology, Innovation & Business Developer at Ghent University, BelgiumThis open access book provides novel insights on management innovation and sustainability in motorsport. Utilizing the all-electric racing championship called Formula E as case, it draws upon data from multiple sources such as sustainability reports of Formula and its stakeholders, media data, podcasts and newspaper articles, partner publications, and social media outputs. It aims to generate a theoretical model that describes and explains the optimal conditions for innovation when it comes to enhancing a sport organisation's commercial product. Apart from its general transferability to sports research, this model enables further study of a motorsport phenomenon that has been hailed by media as the championship, which affirms money in sustainability.
