How much would it cost for the OZ + NZ motor industry and suppliers 'who care' to change the tenth month on their calendars to 'Broctober' ..... SFA I would think.

Was it true about Bev having a preminition a week ago of Brocky hitting into a tree ? I heard that on the radio this morning and thought it was a tad freaky...

I know Bev said she had had premonitions of Brocky dieing this week, not neccesarily by a tree...

I Thought i was going alright, but when Lowndesy came on i pretty much lost it thanks Ch 7, after the show i started going through all the news paper clipings when he retired, then i watched the 85 Bathurst race which i think was one of his best drives.
What's going on @ the so-called home of Motorsport Ch 10, thought they would have had something on Sunday flicked over nothing doing prettt average i think.

They will have a special RPM tribute this Sunday

Is that a fact? If it is when?

They said that before the F1 GP - didnt catch when exactly but at 11am Adelaide Time (10.30 AEST) we have the Australian MotoGP on Sunday and RPM on around 4pm

My guess is it will be either before the MotoGP or on RPM

This is from a media release from V8SCA about a tribute to Peter Brock.

It was in response to this.

Moto GP is on from
1:00pm - 5:00pm on Saturday and 11:00am - 5:00pm on Sunday so it will not be shown at 4:00pm.

ozrevhead · 11 Sep 2006, 11:44 (Ref:1707860)

oh yeah

24th of Sept is RPM reuturn but they did say be4 the F1's they would have one on Sunday

racer69 · 12 Sep 2006, 05:48 (Ref:1708510)

The Brock tribute would i'd say just be worked into the MotoGP coverage at some point (probably after the main race, before the news)

peckstar · 12 Sep 2006, 08:49 (Ref:1708617)

Craig without a smile, makes it even sadder

Chatters · 12 Sep 2006, 09:06 (Ref:1708628)

While I was watching Craig and he was talking about how Brocky would have been thinking "It's just a slide, we'll get out of it and keep going" before the accident, and the weirdest thing was I could almost hear Brocky saying that- it is exactly what his view of it would have been. Touching.

If you ever need reminding of what Brock was all about then you need not look any further than in Craig Lowndes direction. Craig is loved and supported for the same reasons Brock is, he's accessable, he always give 110%, he's genuine and he's always got a smile on his face.

Craig would not want to be compared to Brock, and there are many other drivers out there that Brock has influenced and molded into better people over the years. I'm just glad theres still a bit of Brock in our current crop of racing drivers. May his legend & influence live on.

Did anyone by any chance tape it or record it onto their PC? I missed it.

It's terrible that TC used this as an opportunity to stick the boot into Iemma. There's a time and a place - he went one step too far this time.

Here Here. TC, pull your head in.

well I finally have watched this special that Channel 7 had on and I must say I wasnt overly impressed , it just felt to rushed to me.

But Craig Lowndes Interview was heart wrenching , im sure he is doing it really tough at the moment (Not that everyone else isnt)

I think given alot more time and preperation a better quality tribute could be done , but in the time frame channel 7 had it turned out ok but just way to rushed for my liking.
