Yah, heard that about 30 mins ago too.
Wonder what you Aussies have done to deserve this? 2 icons within a week.

One of the car club guys was racing in TargaWest. This is his feedback.
As some of you know **** recently completed in the TargaWest Tarmac Rally that sadly took Brocky from us.
A very somber mood still hung around all competitors as they departed the event on Monday morning.
When I left Rally HQ the Police investigation of the crash site commenced. Mick Hone is OK and was at Sunday nights Targa Gala dinner, but sporting crutches. I gave him my best wishes at breakfast the next day, and he was due to be interviewed by the Police a little later. All will be revealed following the Police and CAMS investigation, but Mick indicated to us that they were too hot going into the corner previously. A witness said the car did a 360 and then careered along to the next bend when it slammed into a tree on an off camber L4> three quarters of the way into leg 2 (13 + KMS). Please don’t quote any of this as it may prejudice the family and the investigation. The road was wet and Brocky started about 10 cars behind us.
A very sad day for all conected with motorsport. Brockie was the best touring car driver this country ever produced ... and one of the best racing drivers of all time. I suppose now he will get to hang out with Fangio, Jim Clark and Ayrton Senna ... what a race that will be
