With great sadness CAMS advises that Peter Brock, Australian motor racing
legend, has today died in an accident during Targa West, a tarmac special stage
rally being conducted near Perth, Western Australia.
The accident occurred at approximately 11:50am WST. The co-driver has been
conveyed to hospital in a stable condition.
The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) will conduct a full
investigation into the incident. In the mean time, CAMS and event officials are
working with the relevant civil authorities.
On behalf of the motor sport community, CAMS offers its sincere sympathy to
Peter's family and many friends.
CAMS will issue additional statements as further information becomes available
for release.
Colin Osborne, CAMS President, will be holding a media conference at the South
Australian Office of CAMS at 3.30pm today.
wow, two australian deaths, that are compleate legends. , I
dont know much about the racer, but I just read the articles and he seemed
friggin good. I am upset
Yeah, Brocky's death really hit home hard. The Australian motorsport community
is now just that much poorer.
Still, I'd prefer to go out the way he did, rather than rotting in some
old-folks home.
