A bad week to be an Aussie legend
 

Australia has lost another icon - Peter Brock. In 2005, he was rated British Motor Sport magazine rated him the second best touring car driver in the world. He won the Bathurst 1000 (1000km endurance race) an incredible nine times.

Similar to Steve Irwin, he died doing what he liked best - racing cars.

There is a huge amount of information about this guy, from the link above, if you wish to know more about him.

This guy is an absolute legend in Australia and one of those guys who seemed absolutely bulletproof. It seems even more of shock than Irwin, who always appeared to take risks - Brock was a consumate professional.

I wonder if there is a point where certain 'entertainment' professions are seen as just being too dangerous?

As I said... even celeb deaths come in 3's... who will be the third?

Hopefully one of the more annoying ones.

I nominate Carrot Top.

my hat off to Peter Brock.. he was indeed a legend. he's been around for 30 years and longer than any croc hunter. its been a shocking week...but we're as proud as ever to be called aussies.

I am scared to read the paper as I dont want to see any more bad news! R.I.P

Carrot Top isn't an Aussie... you are thinking of Yahoo Serious.
