Just 5 days after the death of Ozzie superstar, Steve Irwin, Australia and New Zealand motor race fans are coming to grips with the shock of Peter "Perfect" Brock's untimely death in an accident during the West Australia Targa Rally, this afternoon. His car hit a tree at speed and he was pronounced dead at the scene, his co-driver is serious injuried and in hospital.

During his time as a V8 Racing car legend, Peter Brock won the Mount Panarama, Bathurst 1000 race a record of 9 times, a feat that is unlikely to be beaten. He was 61.

Farewell to a legend.

Best V8 driver I ever saw - like the car was simply an extension of his body.

Farewell, Peter Perfect.

Oh man, that blows.

I'm a Ford fan myself but I'm have to admit he was the best I've ever seen in a touring car.

RIP Peter.

Not that it lessens the tragaty; but at least both of these great men died doing what they loved. a sad week for all who these men touched.
