Luke West is a life-long motorsport tragic who has turned his passion into a career. He is an Australian motoring historian with an eye for colourful characters, quirky content and significant moments. He has a special fondness for digging up previously untold stories and bringing them to life. He spent eight years as editor of Australia's favourite retro motoring magazine, Australian Muscle Car, which followed a stint at Auto Action.

He spent several seasons as a V8 Supercars on-course announcer, including twice anchoring the Bathurst 1000 PA commentary team. He's also dabbled in television commentary. He lives in Sydney's Hills District and is married with two teenage sons, who, thus far, have not caught the racing bug off their old man.
