Peter Brock RIP

[MWaugh]

I was just watching the channel 7 news in australia and in what could be another sad day for Australia it appears that legendary racing driver Peter Brock has been killed in a crash in a Western Australian rally. It is still to be confirmed but they seem pretty confident it was him. I truely hope it isnt because he is an out and out legend. The king of the bathurst 1000

Here is the article

MOTOR sports legend Peter Brock has reportedly been killed in an accident in Western Australia.

Motor sports confirmed Brock's death this afternoon from Perth.

It's understood the crash occurred while Brock was taking part in the Targa West rally in Western Australia.

Brock, 61, was driving with Mick Hone in a Daytona Coupe.

The circumstances of the accident remain unclear.

The Targa West takes place over four days and is divided into two categories, competition and challenge, the latter catering for relatively standard specification road cars.

Rally driving is one of the hardest things to do, seeing some of them in the Acropolis rally in Greece racing at 70MPH going within inches of rock walls.

Sad loss to the Motor Sport world.
