Oh my god.

I'm... Speechless. Just returned from school to find the news of this.

This is shocking. This is as big as is gets. The legendary... Brock.

With great sadness CAMS advises that Peter Brock, Australian motor racing legend, has today died in an accident during Targa West, a tarmac special stage rally being conducted near Perth, Western Australia.

The accident occurred at approximately 11:50am WST. The co-driver has been conveyed to hospital in a stable condition.

The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) will conduct a full investigation into the incident. In the mean time, CAMS and event officials are working with the relevant civil authorities.

On behalf of the motor sport community, CAMS offers its sincere sympathy to Peter's family and many friends.

CAMS will issue additional statements as further information becomes available for release.

Colin Osborne, CAMS President, will be holding a media conference at the South Australian Office of CAMS at 3.30pm today.
Don't know if anyone else has posted this. Sorry if they have.

A message to all people going down to Bathurst. In honour of The Mountain King, can all going to the 2006 Super Cheap Auto 1000 please wear black or red arm bands. From Greg Barton, a motorsport lover and a proud fan of the late Peter Brock.
Good call Greg, an easy and effective way to pay your respects.

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.
