As stated really

Sorta speaks for itself really

I gotta say no, as it seems those closest to him said he wouldn't of wanted it done. They would know best.

[STATUS]

well his partner at the time he died is all for it, mick hone his co driver is also all for it.

that HERALD SUN article seems to be a poorly edited version of the full story in MOTORSPORT news or something like that i read a week ago.

BROCK was the DAYTONA's number 1 fan and loved the culture that it invoked, those who knew BROCK the most and how he felt about the DAYTONA believe he would want it displayed for the awesome car it was not the car that claimed his life.

From a personal view point I don't think it would be good to see someone else's last ride. Would remember for the person from how they ended rather than how they lived.

display a replica and not rebuild the crashed one, i think he should be more shown for the cars he won in, not died in reguardless of how much he did like the car

[lineskee 33]

May sound a little morbid but i think they should show the car and not a replica. when people go to the museum and see the car they can think that was HIS car. not just a replica. If they do put a replica in the museum, what would they do with the real car?

[Ska]

Let it go, dont repair it, but dont wreck it. It is just so wrong to charge money to see it but, it would be like charging for admission into a cemetary. I personally would not go and see it, even if it was free to see.

[Haysey]

like it says in the article...

show the cars he won in, and was proud of like they did at bathurst last year...

not that car!

[Richmond98]

why even fix the car. leave it as is. with blood and all.

[Shell]

I think it would be ok to show it if it was part of a whole exhibition that had all his other cars as well.

[scathing]

The museum is in his honour, apparently. So it should have several of his cars. In which case, every car he's competed in belongs there (assuming the museum can obtain it).

Whether he died in it or not shouldn't matter. If it was just the one car by itself in a situation just about his death, then its in poor taste. But if its about his entire life, his beginning and his end are more than apt.

As for "cashing in", that's just typical News Limited bullshit. A lot of museums charge entry. Why should this one be any different? You have to pay to get in to the National Art Gallery in Canberra, which was set up on taxpayer's money yet its not as hyperbolic to go around accusing the curators of "cashing in" on hard working, true blue, taxpaying Australians when it comes to that.

if people want to see it, it should be able to be seen

i have no issues with it
