Yes I just heard. He died driving a Daytona according to the news. RIP a legend. To many Australians this will probably be a bigger loss than Steve Irwin. Edited by user Saturday, 9 September 2006 2:00:08 AM(UTC)

Nine-times Bathurst 1000 winner and Australian motor racing legend Peter Brock has been killed while competing in the Targa West Tarmac Rally in Western Australia.
Brock was partnered by Mick Hone in the race and they were competing in a Daytona Coupe.

I think you've summed it up Daniel, Holden and Ford fans alike will be shocked at this news, some people you think will live on forever!! At least he died doing what he loved
RIP Peter Perfect!!

I think anyone with a passion for motorsport, Ford or Holden, has been floored by this. Brocky may have driven for Holden but he was well respected by the Ford boys too.
What a bastard of a week it's been for Aussie Icons.

A true legend - He died doing what he loved most. "Live the Dream" as he wrote on my autograph. I certainly will Brocky. Rest in Peace.

What can I say,
Just watching a tribute on Foxtel to Peter Brock, I wish I was half as inspirational a man as Peter Brock was. He will live in our hearts forever, such a tragedy. He always had that twinkle in his eye for all things motorsport and all thi

Rest in Peace Peter. A true sportsman, legend and gentleman. I knew you only at a distance as a freelance snapper in the 90's and as an admiring fan at races and Car shows since. we'll miss you Peter. May your spirit continue to do what you enjoy Edited by user Saturday, 9 September 2006 8:11:52 AM(UTC)
