Three weeks time is going to feel quite surreal but what a perfect way to say 'thank you' and 'long live the legend of Peter Brock' at the very circuit that helped make him that legend. RIP Peter, you will live forever at the mountain |

I'm still trying to get a grip on this. From what I can gather, this is the chain of events leading up to the fatal accident.
On the second day of the Targa West rally in WA, near the township of Gidgegannup, about 40 kms south west of Perth, Peter Brock while racing towards a left hand corner, Brock apparently lost control of the car caused by gravel thrown up onto the road by other competitors, spun the car into a tree, hitting the drivers side door at some speed. Brock is believed to have been alive for approximately two minutes before losing consciousness. He died doing what he loved. He raced for many years, and I cannot see a more fitting way for him to pass. R.I.P Peter Geoffrey Brock 1945-2006. You will be sorely missed, and never forgotten. |
