VERY, VERY SAD.

I own one his old Bathurst race cars and had gotten him to autograph it. Very easy to talk to and helpful in every sense. He was truly a legendary driver.......

Sorry to hear about the tragic loss of Peter Brock. Like Irwin, at least he went out doing what he loved the best. We should all be so lucky.

It's also a strange coincidence that he should die behind the wheel of a Cobra Daytona coupe which was designed by racing's other Peter Brock, the American who was also one of the stylists of the original Corvette Sting Ray and owner/engineer of the legendary BRE/Datsun racing team of the 70's.

Brock's last ride, photographed the day before his fatal crash:
