Have you seen the clip in here of the stage before his ABSOLUTE final one? It's masterful. It drives me nuts these ppl who say he was tired from flying in from O.S, or past it and should have given it up It was just BAD fucken luck. One wheel SLIGHTLY off line and hit a tree at speed in the WORST spot. B pillar where there's fuck all fat to soften the blow.

Yes from QLD and and now in WA. I was driving today and noticed on the road a small car park for 6 cars. I thought that's weird nothing around. As I approached I saw it was a memorial. And in fact it was Peter Brocks. They got a plaque with 6 cars on top. And a Rock behind again with a car on top and car beside. I'm glad with great respect no vandalism and their is a bin where people put their rubbish.

Shelby and Toyota screwed Pete Brock out of a deal to race Toyotas. If it wasn't for that, the legendary relationship between Datsun and Brock Racing Enterprises during the late 60s and early 70s never would have happened. Karma had the BRE Datsun 2000 Sports decimate Shelby's Toyota 2000GTs and continue on successfully with Brocks legendary 240Z and P510 Datsuns. Maybe it's more than coincidence those Datsun S30 chassis bear the subtle hint of Daytona Coupe.

I had dinner with him at last BAFFIST in 1997 along with his whole crew, Bev and all that. I paid a grand to do it at 'Bathurst Goldfields' which is a place just off to the right as you come onto Conrod. I really couldn't believe it. I got the second last autograph on a MASSIVE poster I'd bought and carried around all day. Some prick got in behind me. It was about midnight and he was uncharacteristically KNACKERED. It'd been a looooong day for him though. Met him lots. Just an amazing man in so many arenas. Car racing was just one piece of his amazing jigsaw. Onya Brock. Gees I miss you.... The most charismatic, intense, likeable, intelligent person I've ever met. And at 57 I've met a few

@johnrroberts7900 Жыл бұрын

Agreed. Watching the Great Man see-sawing at the wheel to 'wischen' the front to counteract the lightweight rear as it came out in the wet (more obvious from the outside footage than in the car) plus a typical narrow, bumpy Australian road that looked as smooth as glass, plus the distracting absolutely-pathetic gearleaver that he fumbled for on more than one occasion (made the UC Torana's golf club look sophisticated, lol) topped off with the sh*tty fibreglass body meant there was absolutely no room for error. I've driven muscle cars in the wet with the same weight distribution on hot-mix bitumen and you get no warning in a tight corner at the limit when she starts to let go at the rear - in this respect steel-belted radials were no better than cross-plies, except that cross-plies let you know earlier when you were really pushing it.

@Muggo05 17 жыл бұрын

that just shows how much of a legend he was. he drove a V8 muscle car like that, straight for the whole stage in the wet. he didn't have it sideways at all except for after the finish! He was a hero, a legend and my Hero. You'll always be remembered and loved Brocky.

I see that, it is not as big a surprise to me that he crashed it. That is the hardest I have ever seen him work at the wheel of a car. It must have been a very difficult car to drive - in fact I heard somewhere he said exactly that not long before the crash - it is no poor reflection of his ability. He is a very good driver and still missed. From a Ford man.

Ross Dunkerton said that Brock had just returned from Britain and may have been fatigued. He summed up saying "he hadn't driven it, it was raining and if you put all those things together, you can sort of say it's sad and it's risky,". That's a lesson to new and old drivers...you've got to be fresh and do the reccy's.

It's never going to be shown public. I wouldn't mind seing it myself just to get an idea of what happened. But can you imagine if it was shown to the public.
