It's a sad day for Australian motorsport and one we will long mourn.
The term 'great' is used with little thought for what greatness is but those who rise above their peers to be the best at what they do are truly deserving of the word. Thus was the case with Peter Brock as it was with Possum Bourne and they shared many of the same traits which endeared them to a legion of ardent fans. Their skill was only a part of that, many others had skill as well but the truly great have something else as well that sets them apart from the rest of us and it was evident in both these men. Nor were they perfect outside of their chosen fields but they brought the same self belief and passion to their non racing activities that they brought to their racing ones and in doing so earnt our love and respect. The world is a worse place without both of them. Russ
