An absolute legend in Motorsport ( :eclipsee_ ) who will be sorely missed!
Condolences to Peter's extended family and colleagues! Such a tragedy to loose two such prominent Australian icons in the one week! R.I.P. Peter Brock Many  : tonight.:( To Opto, my thoughts are with you also; no one should have to go through what you are experiencing. I lost my father suddenly a few years ago but with Steve & Peter as well... |

What a tragic week for aussie icons..... after alot still letting Steve Irwin's death sink in another one happens
My old man played footy with Peter for Yarrambat and my brother is good mates with his son james... met Peter a few times and a great bloke. I grew up watching the bloke dominate bathurst, and I'm sure most aussie race drivers would see him as a role model and mentor. RIP to Peter Brock, his family and all close to him Now lets get through another thread without stupid remarks like the Steve Irwin one....otherwise they will be deleted |
