He was a true Gentleman.. Sad sad day for Australian motorsport.

I remember when I was a little tacker I was chasing him to autograph my hat, he had like 5 assistants trailing him and was about 1/2 way up the stairs to his private HRT tent and he made the time to sign it.

Champion full stop

Some video articles for this inclined, there are 3 in total, including one with Bev aswell.

I must say, even though they arent together, its a very tough interview where she is very very honest.

I swear, i never thought id feel this crap all arvo/night - but the accident and death has really gotten me down - Kinda strange cos even though I was saddened by steve irwins death, it wasnt as bad as this - probably cos I love cars and racing and have been following it since I came to this country......I kept watching the news pretty much all night (both on tv and on the internet), probably a bad move - but I just couldnt get myself to leave it...

RIP Brocky

I am a ford man myself but for Peter I have never had anything but the utmost respect he was always gracious in defeat not that it happened much and a true gentleman when he won. Australia has lost its motoring King. I feel for his kids and his extended family it must be hard for them because he was such a big celebrity they will find it hard to mourn without the media on them 24/7

Take Care Brocky

Yep, RIP Peter Brock.

looking at those overhead shots of the site it looks like a fairly easy mistake, narrow road and the tree is mere meters from the edge of the bitumen, and from the radio interviews it sounds like he was fairly concerned about the tailiness of the car...

sad loss for aussie motorsport no matter who you support.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
