John Bowe (Born 16th April 1954), has had a career that has spaned many years and many fine results.
His long association with Dick Johnson dates back to the era of the flying Sierras.
The DJR Shell Helix Team became an Australian Motor Sport success story during his time with the team. Among the results were Bathurst 1000 wins in 1989 and 1994. John Bowe was also Australian Touring Car Champion in 1995.
During the late 1990's John surprised the motorsport world by announcing his departure from DJR.
