This is definatly NOT Pete Brock of the Shelby racing team. Peter Brock as RalphC says in the thread RIP Brocky was probably Australia's most well known and winningest touring car driver. Won the "Great Race" at Bathurst many times which earnt him the legendry status of "King of the Mountain".

Very sad to hear about Peter Brock

It was nice to see him seeing off his career as a sort of elder-statesman of Aussie motor sport - with a drive here and there.

His appearance usually got a bit of positive coverage for events like the Targa's and I'm sure helped to build their success and prestiege.

He will be missed.
