Peter Brock: Another aussie icon passed away

Recommended Posts

As most of you know, crocodile hunter Steve Irwin passed away earlier this week.

something that more than likely wont make it as big in the international media is that earlier today, aussie v8 supercar driver, which is probably the equivalent to NASCAR in the US, and australian motor sport legend passed away after racing accident. he was 61

my thoughts go out to his family and friends.

I hope this is the past in what has been a really bad week in Australia.

edit: in all the shock of the week, i left Peter's name off, i have now added it to the title

sorry,

cant beleive i left that out.

his name was Peter Brock, among his many many accolades, he one our Bathurst 1000 race (a 1000km race on a mountain, average lap time around 2minutes 15 seconds, 6.2 km track, shared between two drivers, runs for about 7.5 hours) 9 times.

he really was the ayreton senna of v8 supercars. he did retire from the v8 races, but never stopped racing. the event today was the Targa Rally in Western Australia.

Now you use head for something other than target.

I don't think some people appreciate what kind of an 'athlete' it takes to be a race car driver. These people are very talented, and I respect them greatly. Personally, I love dirt track racing.
