On behalf of all we small car guys, can I ask that we just spend a minute thinking about the tragic loss and legacy of Peter Brock.
For many of us who are maybe just that little bit older, it was Peter Perfect who kindled our love of cars and performance. For many, like me, he was a boyhood hero. It mattered not that he was a Holden or Ford driver. In his prime he drove on the edge and seemingly beyond it, and had the admiration of all motor fans. And in person, he always had time for the fans. I was one of those fans. I feel gutted today. Vale Peter Brock
