Default Loss of another Legend! Peter Brock killed rallying!



Just seen this on pistonheads.co.uk. Any of you that are interested in the Australian Touring Car Championship will remember Peter, better known as 'Brockie', racing the early Mobil 1 Sierra Cosworth's, then I think he later moved to Commodore.

Link here: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/news/de...?storyId=15000

Can't believe this, must be one of the best old school racers left around!

First Steve Irwin and now Peter Brock in the same week!

R.I.P Brockie

No way, I was watching some Bathurst vids the other day watching him battling with the R32 GTRs.
Big loss, another legend gone.
