- I had thought this was already up on TH-cam but it appears not. So in response to those who want to see it once again here is our special interview show with Brocky recorded on the eve of him leaving for The Goodwood Revival. Less than 2 weeks later he was gone, killed in a crash while competing in the Targa West Tarmac Rally in Western Australia.
To this day it's hard to watch this without feeling so sad, and also wondering just what Brock would be doing now. It'd be something pretty exciting I would imagine.
Sorry about the quality but it was encoded as a podcast back when podcasts were really small.

Missed by many, loved by many more.only a few men inspired a national pride in our moter history.peter certainly will be remembered and loved still, by many Australians for many years to come.
I meet Peter for the first time as a kids in the 1986 after the wellington water front race "Nissan Mobil 500" & I still remember it like it was yesterday.
I felt on top of the world talking with Peter as here was this man I looked up to as a driver and he was happy talking with me.
I asked him how someone like myself could get started as a driver an he told me to just drive as much as possible even if that meant racing around a paddock because of my age at that time.
He said the things He learned as a kid was a good foundation on learning car control and how to read away a car moves under you and He warned me every car moves differently and has it own personality. The best advise any one has given me in my lifetime as it's so true and this kiwi is so grateful for those few precious minute's. Respect PB
RIP and long live Peter Brock (February 26, 1945 - September 8, 2006), aged 61
You will always be remembered as a legend.
He was an amazing man,
I met both Peter Broke and Allan Mofit.
It was because of Allan coming to my parents Aquarium Buisness that he agreed to introduce me to Peter Broke.
Much respect to both Men, for not dismissing a young boy and his dream.
I met the man at a promo event when I was a young teen and you couldn't have met a more genuine bloke. I probably spent a good 30 mins talking to him that day and he even came back to talk between his commitments. I was already a fan but that day just confirmed it for me.
RIP Peter. He seems like such a level headed bloke. I owned a VK HDT Brock SL Commodore and I always enjoyed driving it so much, I'm sure that Peter loved seeing his cars on the road.
Thanks so much for posting this.
its been over a decade since we saw him live... but he's still teaching us all life lessons through his speech.
I was speaking to a 26 year old today and asked him “do you know of Peter Brock” his reply was “never heard of him “. I was shocked and realised sadly time kills everything.
Aussie Legend Peter Brock. 'Nuff said. 🤘
RIP Peter Brock a true gentleman of Australian motorsport
met him several times around tracks and what you see is what you get
he took my daughter for a look around his car and transporter and could not have been nicer
then we went over to Tony Longhurst's bay and to say chalk and cheese is an understatement
Wow ! What a great attitude! A fantastic open an honest approach who obviously appreciated all the support he had over the years. Did not realise how much I missed his presence and wisdom .
Legend status !
From a ford fan !
Always a pleasure to listen to PB talk
Great interview and interviewer
Was such a beautiful trip down memory lane, thanks team.
Hard to believe it's 14 years since we lost Brocky. Only seems like yesterday.
16+ years now I guess :(
Interesting to hear about him talking about all the travelling and time pressures leading up to his fatal WA Targa. I feel that it must have been a big factor in the accident.
Love this interview of Australia's icon. I have personally worked with this complex person, and he is so much more than a "petrol head".
Very interesting and caring person. Especially environmentally caring. RIP
Thanks for posting, I remember watching Brocks last race at Surfers back in 95 or 96, he drove that commodore's ass off. I was standing about 2 mts from the fence and Brock was doing 250 ks+ down the back straight, it was mind blowing being so close at full song
What I always admired about PB, is that he always looked to the horizon.. for the next challenge. He never got caught up with the past of his own success.
I still run the Peter Brock polarizer in my cars to this days. Best upgrade i've ever bought.
AJV80 Really you’re the man I want to talk to always interested me those things it’s alright?
Crystals and magnets 😆
I’ve loved this man since I saw him racing at Bathurst in 88 when I was 5 years old, he is an inspiration to me ever since then, may he Rest In Peace and drive race cars in heaven forever
Top interview, thank you.
He's a legend of all time
Like the interview with the pb
Peter was full of passion for life and it shows in this interview. I loved that he was trying to help the other categories of Motorsport as well as his passion for driving. Great memories of Peter Brock as a racing and fan of his since I was a kid.
Peter and Bev had time for anyone and genuinely cared for others...Peters record as a driver speaks for it self, but when he was out of a car, he was a genuine Frank Spencer!!!
Loved and breathed racing and everything got to do with cars, what a legend. Miss ya Brock
Peter O'Brian as George Freeman , looks like Brock .
i would love to hear the interview brocky did with 96fm in perth on the day he died he said they were throwing way more power and different settings at it ,it was untried and he said he would give it a red hot go a few hours later he was gone
Brock and Bathurst!!!
Two of Gods, true creations!
Brocky is the biggest legend in the world, love forever pb
Miss you PB #05
Great thanks for uploading , great driver great bloke , thanks pete
RIP for yesterday Brocky. 6 years.
If Brocky was still around we would still have a car industry in Australia because he was a fair dinkum bloke, I am sure he would be the type of fellow that would have been interested in an all Australian car, I think it is entirely possible that Aussies can build their own car. all it needs is a bit of positive thinking, but I dont believe we can ever have a car industry hear with other countries leaching of it.like GM are doing to Holden, i think Holden should have cut ties with GM a long time ago, those old engine designs were so antiquated, we could have done much better with engine design.
Thanks for doing that interview.
This week has brought back a lot of memories. A great driver and a good friend of the show over many years. He is very sadly missed.
A great interview, I did not now that this interview was conducted, only just saw it yesterday well done! RIP Brocky!
Ironically the Daytona was built by Pete Brock, America. Driven by Peter Brock, Australia.
ever in memories Peter
a hero much missed
Loved or Peter Brock 😢😢😢❤❤❤
Ayrton senna of Australia🇦🇺👍rip brocky
I've never been backward in coming forward! Lol
Peter Brock, Bathurst god, Racing legend and Aussie icon
All i will say is GOD BLESS HIM, HOLDEN Would have not got anywhere near the sales they got during the time he raced and his ideas were amazing as far as doing up the HDT holdens and then selling them with about 400% profit when you think about the work which went into those cars, once you have a way of modifying those cars and body panels which have been changed to basically bolt up and painted thats it really just like Harrop and Walkingshaw do now for the HSV and holden VF series car and even before that, pay a little extra and get something special, but the special is not in those cars because the persons who work on those cars are not worth mentioning at all, but if you have say people who work on the current supercars and they are the ones which do up your current VF or V series car from the 1990's to now let say then its like have a new brocky basically, but nope you cant get more than what you paid for any of the cars which are done by Harrop or walkinshaw etc.. :)
Anyone know if Brocks sketches and artworks are available to view anywhere?
Wow, that really is a great encapsulation of Brockys life. Once he drops the PR crap (which takes a question and 2.3 seconds...) he is fascinating.He was way far from perfect except when he drove - which made him more appealing.
RIP. King of the mountain.
I really miss Brocky. The man was all class and it's such a shame what happened. Read Bev Brock's book and she said it was bullshit Peter died doing what he loved. Brocky would have been embarrassed how he went out. I don't remember him crashing out many times over the years. TT is the most dangerous racing
Still buy love him
Always a gentleman
I've met him many times. Had dinner with him at Bathurst '97. He is everything you think he is and way more. I love he was/is a real rebel. He is passion personified. When you have his attention, nothing else else matters in his world.
Peter always made himself available as often as he could, the amount of Holden fans that had there glove box sighed is amazing.
The ole debate of which dayglow VK is the real 84 winner was raised here.
I wonder how mick hone is doing, not many people talk about, he must have gone through hell with guilt because he was the navigator, I hope he’s doing ok these days.
It seems the king of the Mountain P Brock and the king of Rock E Presley both had nothing but time for there fans&followers may they both be there on the day of the ressurection when called from there resting place
He was our Ayrton Senna
RIP Brocky!
Sad.
Unfortunately he should have given it away earlier like Dick Johnson and Allan Moffat did and perhaps he might still be around. So sad
Peter Brock was just one of those guys who were meant to die doing what he loved, That's why he never retired, I just wish he stayed on tracks far away from trees
already .. its gone quick
02:36 - 02:42
Such a big loss to motorsport in Australia, but at least he died doing what he loved, before he had to give it away due to age.
would have been a 63 GTO.
ford owner here but respect for Brock 2016...respect. can the red team ever show respect for there adversary?? even with all those 9" in there cars because a tuff rear end means Ford?
Brock was a Ford man too.. the Brock EA Falcon!
+ArchimedeanEye Brock and ea should never be spoken off in the same sentence
mangrove jack He did it just to piss of the General... it worked! lol
The only reason that they used Ford rear ends because they were a cheap option. GM has the 12 bolt diff and are just as tough as the Ford 9 inch diff. Moser engineering now make these differential assemblies for all GM muscle cars.
Would have loved to hear him rip into Joe Hockey for stuffing up the car industry, would have been very nice.
I will always have respect and love for him, my husband ..yeah i buy the cars and he gets picked out for a once in a lifetime time drive at oran park my husband drinks tea and tahts what they talked about wtf then he bought home the photos ................
Hmmm..."Pre Curser"....Fatefull word !!
Traveled
Hi
I miss you, GOD😥
