Peter Brock is Dead!

Breaking news Peter Brock the Australian Racing Icon has Just Died in a car crash in Western Australia.

http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/...222310976.html
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems...9/s1736485.htm

For those who don't know.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Brock

Myself for one, am going to be effected by more then the death of Steve, mainly because Peter Brock is what made my town Famous at the Bathurst 1000, and is somewhat famous around these parts. It's an extreme shame to see one of the greatest V8 racing Divers go.

EDIT: Could a Mod please change the thread name to Peter Brock is Dead!

First Steve Irwin, now this? It's such terrible news. Well, they both made something great out of their lives, which is good.

RIP Peter Brock.

Re: Peter Brock is Dead!

Two Aussie legends in the one week. The King of the Mountain is gone. And he died in a rally car crash, so I guess he went doing what he loved. I'd assume that this year's Bathurst 1000 is going to be something special then, he won that thing nine or ten times. He kept retiring but kept coming back it seemed.

Re: Peter Brock is Dead!

Since Steve is dead, they can't really concentrate on what's going on around them. So... it shall be some hard time to get through.

Re: Peter Brock is Dead!

Never heard of that cat (Maybe cause I'm an American and I'm no fan of racing). But I said it so many times, September is turning into the saddest month.

Peter Brock, I never heard of him, but I will pay my respects. God bless his soul.

I hear yah man, this is just getting crazy... September will soon become the darkest month of them all. Peter Brock was awesome, although he was useless at having a wife. Winning the Bathurst 9 times is something very impressive. Just proves no matter how good a driver you are, you can always have accidents; and DIE from those accidents.

Re: Peter Brock is Dead!

The death of another Aussie legend, what a month its turning out to be. I pretty much had a hunch that anyone here that doesn't live in Australia wouldn't understand really; which is cool, Brock was never a big name overseas like Steve Irwin was. Brock won 9 times at the Bathurst 1000, his career spanned for something like 30 years, he kept on retiring but his worst fear was age...that is why he kept on having his little comebacks. Aftre a while he sort of disappeared from the mainstream media, he might have a mention now and then but the media has been silent about Brock until now. I will pray for Peter's family.

R.I.P 'Brocky'

Re: Peter Brock is Dead!

Well, sorry for the loss

That is the most immature and disgraceful thing I have ever heard in a thread commemorating a legend's death. You don't deserve to have your opinions displayed here. Grow up.
