Win new Brocky book

It is nearly a year since Peter Brock left us. Memories of him still burn and will burn even brighter thanks to a new book on the great man.

Peter Brock is an innovative and original sports book, thanks to the creative approach of HyperActive Inc.

The company collected personal pictures, press clippings and race pictures and has assembled them in a book covering Brock's life from start to finish.

Added spice comes from personal introductions to each chapter by Brock's family, friends and racing rivals.

It is a big book, bold and bright and straight to the point, much like the man himself.

Turning the pages is like flicking through a family album, from school pictures to Brock's early racing days and his incredible Bathurst successes.

There are some great memories from his brothers, Neil, Phil, Lewis and his race mates.

"The first time I met Peter Brock was during the 1971 Hattah Desert Rally," race rival Larry Perkins says. "He was broken down on the side of the road in a Torana as I flashed past in an EH wagon."

“I stopped and towed him back to the finish at a hundred miles an hour. We arrived in a cloud of dust, much to the excitement of the event announcer who thought it was one of the closest finishes ever! Life with Brock was always interesting.”

Fellow Holden driver Mark Skaife says: “Like Muhammad Ali, he matched ordinary technique with freakish skills, hand speed and reflexes — the bloke was an absolute superstar.”
