John Goss (racing driver)

John Goss (born 1943) is an Australian former racing driver. He is best known for his successes in touring car racing, particularly at Bathurst.

Goss began his racing career in the late 1960s, initially driving a Ford Capri. He achieved significant success in the 1970s, racing primarily for Ford. His most notable achievements include:

• 1974 Bathurst 1000 Winner: Co-driving with Kevin Bartlett in a Ford Falcon XA GT. This victory is particularly significant as it was the last time a V8-powered Falcon won the race until 2013.

• 1985 Bathurst 1000 Winner: Co-driving with Armin Hahne and Alfredo Costanzo in a Jaguar XJS. This victory marked Jaguar's first and only Bathurst 1000 win.

• Australian Touring Car Championship: Goss achieved numerous podium finishes in the Australian Touring Car Championship (now Supercars Championship) throughout the 1970s.

• Other Racing: Goss also participated in other forms of motorsport, including sports car racing and rallycross.

Goss retired from professional racing in the late 1980s. He remains a respected figure in Australian motorsport history, primarily remembered for his two Bathurst 1000 victories and his contributions to Ford's racing legacy. He was inducted into the V8 Supercars Hall of Fame in 2003.
