Peter Brock was a legendary Australian touring car driver. An Australian Richard Petty if that gives you a better picture. He died age 61 racing. He retired from full time racing in 1997 but has continued to make appearences in V8 Supercars and the anual Targa Tasmania rally cup.
He crashed his Daytona Coupe into a tree going around a bend this mourning in the Targa West rally.
One of his sayings was live your dreams and i think it's safe to say he did.
Peter "Perfect" Brock. 1945 - 2006.
