“I took a last lap round the mountain hall Stopped on Skyline and messaged the wall Got back in my car and drove away Down the Esses where the great man roared Through Forest Elbow flat to the floor And watched his spirit leave down Conrod Way Then a cold chill swept over me At the Chase I couldn’t see My eyes were filled with tears As I thought back through the years When Brockie and his Holden 05 Both made me glad to be alive Now he’s gone and i just....cried That day, when Brockie..........died. So bye bye mister zero five Drove my Holden down to Caltex but the bowser was dry The checkout chick was looking teary-eyed Saying “Brockie’s gone and I don’t know why This will be the day that I died.”
I still think to this day that this was the only year Holden fans wanted a Ford to win. I know I did. I wish I could have witnessed Brocky racing flat out in person. I wasn't old enough to remember him racing in the early 2000's. And I wasn't around to witness the 70's, 80's and 90's. Brock has the respect for everyone, and everyone has respect for him, because he was the legend he was. Peter Perfect, although passed, will live on as long as Australia has its "Great Race"
You missed quite a sight. Brock would come sideways across the top of the mountain, elbow on window sill, and hed hang a few waves out the window whilst gooing into to esses driving one handed. He was fucking amazing CHARASMATIC??? 🤯🤯🤯🤯 You should have met him in person .....
when I was 14 I was driven to sandown in my brother in laws a9x Torana we sat on 160 ks all the way down the freeway on our way to sandown raceway to watch peter drive his VH group c Marlboro commodore against Moffat in his rx7 and Johnson in the xe. that was 1983 and not a day has passed that I don't think of that time and him. iv owned many cars in my life all Holden's our whole family owned many here's just a few. Torana hatch Ss v8 hq hz Sandman 308 manual panel vans vb manual wagon 308 factory ordered. Torana Lj xu1 two a9x lx toranas vr gts commodore three Vk Calais 308 s two still in our possession and in pristine condition Vl manual turbo. so thanks Pete you'll never be gone and when I drive to the historic races and watch the cars I remmember from the golden era I know you'll be there with me.
This was a very dark and heavy week for Australian icons. Steve Irwin: the famous crocodile hunter, was also killed at the beginning of the same week that Brocky died. I heard of Steve's passing just before I went to school on a Monday morning. But I remember Peter's passing more vividly, perhaps because I am a car guy. I remember that day, 10 years ago now: it's painted so vividly in my mind. I could take you to my grandparent's house in Sydney and take you to the point where I heard he crashed his car (I couldn't remember if he was confirmed dead or not at that point on that damp Friday afternoon).
Ben Ward I was told about Steve in the same way, I was getting out of the car for school, and it came on the radio, I didn't want to go to school, my parents let me have the day off for Brocky
Ben Ward, there were actually 3 great Australians that lost their life that week. Colin Thielie, author, must have just died after Steve Irwin, on the Monday, and the great man, Peter Brock, Friday.
a minutes silence doesn't work when you put crappy music over the top. i dont know if it was you who made this video or someone else, but that music needs to go
Josh Muggleton : Unfortunately it’s on the DVD highlights of this race. Only way it can be removed is to fade it out on re-Recording it. Nevertheless, it’s a tribute to the man that inspired us in many ways, and he will always be to me and many others, the King Of The Mountain.
(....groan....) Almost all of the Touring Car / Ch 7 commentators have _always_ babbling twits. No - the memorial trophy was not "simplistic". No - obviously, Brock was not "an athlete" - but he was a sportsman and a champion competitor. No - the VC Commodore was not "controversial for him"....groan....)

Im a ford man. But l love Brocky. He'll never be forgotten.
There will only ever be 1 king of the mountain & that is Peter Brock.
“I took a last lap round the mountain hall
Stopped on Skyline and messaged the wall
Got back in my car and drove away
Down the Esses where the great man roared
Through Forest Elbow flat to the floor
And watched his spirit leave down Conrod Way
Then a cold chill swept over me
At the Chase I couldn’t see
My eyes were filled with tears
As I thought back through the years
When Brockie and his Holden 05
Both made me glad to be alive
Now he’s gone and i just....cried
That day, when Brockie..........died.
So bye bye mister zero five
Drove my Holden down to Caltex but the bowser was dry
The checkout chick was looking teary-eyed
Saying “Brockie’s gone and I don’t know why

Both were born 4 days apart but of course different years, both died 4 days apart. . Go figure???
Yeah I remember that crash
Very Touching!
My dad was driving the tourana, he built Peter brocks engine for a time
It must have been hard for him to drive the Tourana.

WTF a minutes silence is supposed to mean a MINUTES SILENCE.
"Life is for living .... not enduring".
Car was on rails..... put my foot down.... and just kept my foot down..... nothing special....I just kept my foot to the floor......
In actual fact the car lowndes is driving won the Hardie Ferodo 500 not 1000
He drove Australia's Ferrai
I dont think he would be happy with todays two new companys entering the V8's
