No way!!! he is one of yours now. Phar lap, Russell Crowe, Crowded House, Split Enz are all claimed as australian after being over the ditch for a short time, so Hinch is well and truly an aussie.....and no returns.....Any of you New Zealanders want him back we are over him.

An insignificant, arrogant whinger of the miniscule relevance of Mr Hinch does absolutely nothing to change my opinion of Peter Brock.
I might start paying attention to what Derryn Hinch says, if he started acting more like Peter Brock, and less like Derryn Hinch.

I've just sent this email to the Hinch site.
I can now see the "perfect" couple, Derryn Hinch and Germaine Greer.
Both very twisted bitter people.

That was what i was going to say. Peter Perfect for his driving, not his personal life. I mean we are all human anyways.Peter Perfect was dubbed this for his driving ability, not for the way he lived his life.

Let's just remeber Peter for the achievements and the skill he displayed, as well as the time he spent with his admiring fans.
Cheers.

To get this thread back on track, I would like to share a short story.
Just over 8 years ago, in Townsville, 22 August 1998, my beautiful wife and I were getting married. PB was in town this particular weekend taking part in events, he was also leading a super cruise around the twin cities, right passed where our reception was being held. I remember as family members were doing their speeches, behind them through the door, I could see Brocky drive by. The most special day of my life, and the great man was just 500 feet away.
I will remember that day always!! Wish I had got to meet him, unfortunately I was a bit busy that day!! Ha ha!!

Not that I'm anywhere near as good as PB, below is the result of a similar type corner, that has a wide lead in, then tightens up for the last bit. Luckily it was on a circuit, so I could just drive out into the grass. Arrived just carrying too much speed for the second corner. With those trees there, PB would not have had such a luxury, and would have had to make the corner. Under brakes, or off all the pedals if carrying too much speed, you are always going to loose the back end.

That pic is taken on the Dutton Rally. First go is driven blind, second one is to put what you've learn't to good use. I arrived at the combination corner, carrying way too much speed. You can't brake on corners.

It is a combination corner, tightening as you go in and also downhill with the camber sloping away from the apex. The part that makes it tricky is the downhill approach, right at the braking point there is a slight hump just enough to unload the suspension.
In last year's rally, that stage was run the opposite way, and in the dry cars were taking it at around 90-95km/h. In the wet, heading down the hill, most of the people I've spoken to would estimate about 60-70 km/h max. I think Brocky, not knowing the road, simply came in too hot. Like Yella has said, if he had some room to move he'd be right, but unfortunately there isn't.

Thanks to everyone for their contribution during what was a very emotional time for alot of people.
I dont feel that any good can come from further comments on this particular thread.

Cheers.
