Official SPEED World Challenge 2004 Yearbooks
Announced by John Thawley

Detroit – Motorsports photographer, John Thawley, announced today the 
release of a series of photo books commemorating the 2004 SPEED World 
Challenge GT and Touring Car Series. The books are officially licensed 
by SCCA Pro Racing Ltd. Titles include:

2004 SPEED World Challenge Yearbook
2004 Audi Champion RS6
2004 Cadillac CTS-V
2004 Turner Motorsport BMW 325i

Three of the books will focus on individual teams from the World 
Challenge Series. Choosing from over 25,000 images, Thawley has created 
a book on each of the Cadillac CTS-V and the Champion-Audi teams from 
the GT Series and the Turner Motorsport BMW team from the Touring Car 
Series.

“I’m really excited about this project,” stated Thawley. “Utilizing 
print-on-demand technology, I am able to offer individual books 
tailored to a specific audience. When I looked back on the year, 
certain teams really stood out. Audi and Cadillac went down to the wire 
with their factory-backed teams tied going into the final race of the 
season. And, Turner Motorsport’s domination of the Touring Car division 
was amazing. With three car’s in the top-10, a driver’s championship 
and rookie of the year title, it’s a story that needs to be told and 
remembered.”

Each book is hardbound and 9”x11” in size. There are 30 pages featuring 
over 45 full color images. The books will retail for $49.95.

Additionally, Thawley has created the SCCA Pro Racing’s 2004 SPEED 
World Challenge Series Yearbook. The 2004 SPEED World Challenge 
Yearbook features each of the 10 top finishing teams in the drivers’ 
championship in both the GT and Touring Car Series.

“I’ve been so impressed with the racing in World Challenge,” Thawley 
continued. “This is a highly competitive series and I wanted to create 
a book that recorded the teams and their accomplishment of finishing in 
the top-10. These are hard earned titles.”

The 2004 SPEED World Challenge yearbook is hardbound, 9”x11” in size 
with 50+ pages and more than 100 full color images. The book retails 
for $69.95 and can be ordered online at www.johnthawley.com

In addition, teams, fans and readers will be able to order individual 
prints from the books in sizes from 8x10 to 20x30, also available 
online.
