I'm gutted, a HUGE loss for Australian motorsport (and Australian sport in general). However, i feel that it was perhaps a fitting way for him to go, doing what he loved (albeit FAR too soon).
I must say, I'm not a bloke who gets very emotional, but when I heard the news, I shed a tear.
I was lucky enough to meet the bloke only a couple of months ago, he had time for everybody. A great legend in motorsport and a peerless advocate for real road safety. His number '05' was even chosen to promote awareness of the drink driving limit.
The memory of Peter Brock, in the wet across the top of the mountain, chasing another win at Bathurst will live with me forever.
A sad sad day for motor racing.
A thought....Steve Irwin jokes all over the net.......no Peter Brock jokes
an indication of the measure of the man.
just like his first wife that came out claiming that he beat her 30 years ago, yet never said anything till he couldn't say himself what happened if anything.
