I just received a phone call from a very distressed friend who is spectating at targa west. Peter Brock was driving the orange HQ monaro and has slid off the track and hitting quite a few trees. One has pierced the door and struck the driver killing him.

Still waiting on some more details but the announcer at the event has announced that the accident has killed him.






Mod Edited title: Please keep to one thread regarding this tragic moment.

I seriously hope this is a very sick joke because I just don't think I could cope if my 2 heroes die in the same week. :cry:

The Orange HQ passed me on the way to work this morning, didn't look like Brock behind the wheel, mind you I didn't get a proper look at the driver.

There was nothing said on the 96FM news just on, they are one of the sponsers and didn't say anything about a crash.

Like sting rays, motor racing is dangerous. Do not underestimate the risks, and respect the conditions/vehicle at all times.
