Very very sad news indeed :(

Remember Brocky bringing the old XU1 home in crap conditions up at the Mountain

Fantastic racer, Great bloke, Collingwood man through and through and very very patient man - he taught me to drive a long time ago :shock:

You will be sadly missed by all Brocky - RIP Peter Perfect

Sincere condolences to family and friends

RIP Brocky, sincere condolences to Bev and the children.

I don't recall ever NOT knowing about Brocky, he's always been a part of my life. Not personally, although I do remember riding in one of the first ever Brock Commodores back in 1981.

Just looking at the footage, it's amazing that he was killed.

And a great show of respect if the Players wear a black armband on Sunday in memory of Peter Brock.

he was my hero growing up, along with peter mckenna!!

I met Mckenna at school at 7,
he was the reason i picked collingwood after getting of the plane,

i met peter at 17 at work, at fishermans bend,
he was the reason i became the first female mechanic at gmh,

forget the crystals and the witch doctor,
he will always be my king of the mountain,
he will always be Peter perfect,
god bless you and take care of you,
and may the Pies win for you (and me!) this week Peter,
rest in peace
always in my heart
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!

I had the joyous pleasure of meeting this great man and getting to have a ride in his first bathurst comodore. A true australian giant and he will be very sadly missed by all.

Thankyou.....Peter brock....R.I.P.
