qwik240z Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 This guy was Peter Geoffrey Brock of Austrailia, the race car driver. Not Pete Brock of the BRE Datsun fame. Still a sad loss to motorsports. Glad to hear the other pete brock is still with us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Lots of Australians dying this week. Very sad, until you realise that we generally live luxurious lives and that 1000s of people die EVERY day in much worse conditions all around the world. Spare a thought for them.

pparaska Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I got this from the IZCC list. Carl Beck posted it and said it was fine for me to post here. Gayle is Pete Brock's wife. The American Pete Brock that is, not the Australian race driver with the same 1st/last name as the American one. From: Gayle Brock Subject: Peter Brock - Australian It is with great sadness we have learned the Australian race driver, Peter Brock, was killed in a crash in the Australian Targa Rally today. We had just seen Peter last weekend in the UK at the Goodwood Revival, commenting on the ever-increasing confusion between the Australian Peter Brock and the American Peter Brock with the Australian's latest foray of driving a replica Cobra Daytona Coupe in competition. Although the American Peter Brock is not associated with this Australian-built replicar, he is known, amongst other things, as the designer of the original Cobra Daytona Coupe in 1964 and the Superformance Cobra Daytona Coupe in 1999. At Goodwood last weekend, the Australian Brock drove a Corvette Stingray, a car the American Peter Brock designed while at GM in the late 1950s. Further confusion has occurred with news reports stating Peter Brock had just returned from Goodwood and was killed in a rally in WA (referring to Western Australia). The American Peter Brock had just returned from Goodwood to his US residence in WA State. The Australian Peter Brock was a racing icon in Australia and New Zealand winning the Bathurst touring car race a record 9 times. The American Peter Brock had great respect for the Australian driver and interviewed him almost 10 years ago for an article in Racer magazine entitled "Brock on Brock." It is extremely sad to see the end of such an accomplished career although it is colored with the thought of how the Australian went out doing what he loved. Our sincerest condolences go out to his family. Peter and I want to thank the hundreds of people who have contacted our offices today to check on the American Peter Brock. We always feel very fortunate in life but maybe just a little more so today. Sincerely, Gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
