For as long as I can remember I never missed a Bathurst, then along came this young man with all the skills. He became my hero, so cool so calm so much talent all in one man called Brocky, Peter Perfect, The King of the mountain. With fond memories I will never forget the man who was born to be king.
To all of Peter\'s family my heart felt sympathies.
The Mills family Kalgoorlie WA.

I have always been a huge Brock fan from the first time I saw Brocky race at the Mountain many years ago. From then I\'ve collected anything I could get my hands on related to Brocky. Hearing the news on the radio at work, was more than a shock, I was left with an incredible lump in my throat and was speechless. I\'ve always idolised him like I do my own Father, and to then get home that night from work and look at my Brock collection I was left in tears as I\'m sure thousands of others were and still are. My wife Mandy and I are still in disbelief of such a legend and skilled driver as Brocky was to have passed away but he will remain a legend and a complete gentleman in our hearts and minds forever. Sadly missed Gilly

As a member of the NSW HDT/ HSV Car Club and President for 3 years I can say our car club was born because of Peter Brock and his magnificent cars. He was a life member and regularly attended club meetings with enthusiasm and dedication to us the proud owners of these Brock machines. He would talk and sign anything without question and with sincere care of each individual no matter what. I clearly remember having 3 items to sign but because of the large attendance at this particular club meeting Paul (grumpy) Weissel instructed Peter to only sign one. Peter defiantly & promtly replied,\"NO\" I will sign all 3 and sat down with me as if I was the only person in the room and spoke to me as he casually signed all 3. This was the kind of man he was to his very important fans.
I also went for a drive around Lang Lang Holden test track with him in a HSV Senator. He came to a sharp left hand turn and said in a very calm manner, \"did you feel the tail hang out there?\" . I thought to myself I must be in a different car as I felt nothing. I conveyed this to Peter so on the second time through the same corner he let the tail hang right out. He then said in a more determined voice, \"well did you feel it that time\", I could not answer for the fear that had just gone through my body. Such talent I had never witnessed.
We stayed at the Brock village on a few occasions for Bathurst. It was such a memorable 4 days sleeping in a girls dormitory with no walls between the beds. Eating baked beans for breakfast. Men snoring talking laughing and f--ting all night that sleep depravation set in. But it was all worth it for the results on Sunday afternoon.
Thanks for the memories on and off the track and condolences to Bev and their families for such a sad and sudden loss of a proud Australian never to be forgotten. Good bye Peter. See ya.\" Live The Dream\" forever. Barry Wright.& Rhonda Joughin

Although we are devoted Ford fans we are very much motorsport devotees and long time officials. It is with a very heavy heart we bid farewell to the greatest driver Australia has ever produced. Your achievements and inspiration to all will never be equalled. To all his family and many friends we pass on our condolences and love. Motorsport & Australia is a sadder place without Peter. We met Peter many times and he always had time for his fans.
RIP and many tears are flowing for this great man.

At the age of 30 I have watched Brocky since I could walk. He was a mentor in many ways , and his attitude to driving challenges and the way he approached them helped with the way I then approached them. Everything stopped to see Brocky and everything still does. My greatest memory was meeting him and having a conversation. He was a true gentleman, and a man who took time out for his fans. My wife and I named our first son Brock. Deepest sympathy to Peter\'s family and closest friends, and everyone else who loved him. Rest in peace.

BROCKIE,
You are a legend and you always will be in the minds of all motorsport fans. We will miss you heaps. Not seeing you at Bathurst this year will really hurt, we will get the holdens home for you. You were killed in a tragic accident...but you died doing something that you loved. We will miss you and it will hurt for many days to come. We love and will miss you heaps.
Our sympathies goes to all of the Brock family, the V8 Supercar family and to all of his friends.
Rest in Peace MATE

In my eyes Brocky is a legend, all my life growing up watching him race, he was an unbelievable race car driver. As I got older he began to talk about safety on the road, which he taught me a thing or two and hopefully taught other young drivers a few good rules of safety. It takes someone special to take time out of his life to care about others. Brocky you rule, Rest in peace mate. M. Mifsud and mates.

what a hero the legend

When news spread of the loss of this Aussie racing legend, more tears were cried...as Australia and the rest of the world were still trying to come to terns with the sudden passing of Steve Irwin, hearing about Peter was simply devastating.
As an aussie who grew up on \'football meat pies kangaroos and Holden cars\', I am sure I share the same sentiment with plenty more when saying he was a huge part of Aussie culture and history and is going to be terribly missed.To me, well he was, and always will be, the Holden Man! My husband lives for his \'holdens\' and thanks to him I have had the pleasure of learning heaps about each different make and model, right down to his latest Commodore. The dream continues while his dad passes down to another generation, the beauty of these cars, and for his 13th birthday had a \'Brockie\' cake served at his party!!
Peter has left a wonderful legacy to so many Holden fans and from just one more, Id like to send my condolences onto his loved ones, whilst taking this moment to say thankyou for all the fantastic thrills and memories.
Whilever his memory is kept alive he will never die!
Keep on Brocking!!!
Cheers

Brocky was a hero to myself and my family. Growing up I remember watching Bathurst every year and feeling all the highs and lows of team year in year out, but it was the news on Friday afternoon that by far would have to be the lowest day in motor sport, when the news broke of Peter\'s passing. I found myself shedding tears, for a loss of a true down to earth legend a black day for all race fans and I am thankful that I had a chance to meet him a few times over the years whilst attending race meets. My sincere and deepest condolances to Bev, his children and his young grandchild. We can all look back on his life and remember him with fondness for not only what he has done for motor sport but the many things that he has achieved through the Peter Brock Foundation. Good Bye Brocky, thanks for the memories. You are a true legend and a champion.
RIP
Jodie (long time devoted fan)

I started watching Bathurst 25 yrs ago as a 10 yr old and Peter Brock was automatically my hero. Every year without fail from that day Sunday motorsport was my highlight. My thoughts are with Bev, James, Robert, Alexandra and Julie. Motorsport has lost a great man and no matter if your flag flies blue or red just remember that number 05 and keep the legend alive

The members of the Royal Wollongong Car Enthusiasts Club would like to express their deepest and most respectful condolences to Brocky\'s family and close friends.
We grew up with Peter and love him or hate him we respected him for the legend and gentleman that he was. If Brocky was racing at Amaroo or Oran Park we were there and if he wasn\'t ,neither were we. The man was a genius. He could make a car sit up and talk.
In the pits he always made time to talk to us and tell us about the car and the race. Win or lose, Brocky was a champion and Australian racing will never be the same again. We\'ll miss you Brocky.

Two Australian legends gone in one short week. I never met Steve Irwin although I have seen most of his TV and movie work.
I did however get to meet Peter Brock on a few occasions and as an avid motor sport fan felt quite honoured to have done so. He didn\'t know me or my friends personally but even so he took the time to talk to us and enthusiastically answer our questions.
When I watched him race on TV it was like watching a mate, and to top it off I\'m a Ford supporter. So long Peter, you mate are a champion. P.J. Stevens

It was with great shock and sorrow that I heard the news of Brocky\'s death. He was a champion sportsman and a top all round bloke. A true Aussie legend, and now he\'s gone. A very sad day indeed. Bon Voyage Brocky, you rule mate. Greg Howard
