I'm afraid it could well be as the news rooms abuzz with it. :( What the f#cks going on. Not a good week to be an Australian icon it seems. RIP Brocky.

Been poking around. The Australians got it now too.

Peter Brocks co-driver was Mick Hone of Mick Hone Motorcycles in Box Hill, Mick was taken to hospital where he was reported to be in a stable condition.

Sad loss to the racing world but he got to step off doing what he enjoyed doing..
