    Default Rename Mt Panorama

    It was on the news that they are thinking of renaming Mt Panorama to Brock Mountain or something similar. What do you guys think? I say NO as I don't think Brock would have wanted it. As someone on the news said, Brock used to go there as a kid too and it was always Mt Panorama to him.

    Yes, but if not at the very least rename a part of the track after the legend.

    Mt Panorama is a legend in itself,therefore should not be named after a dead competitor.Mabye a corner or straight could have overtones of his history, but nothing/no one can tame the great mountain.

    i reckon for Bathurst they should have the Peter Perfect Pace Car. Cos he set the pace so often and was often in front. Plus it has a certain ring to the name. What do you all think? I'll start another poll.

    He won at Mt Panorama, not Mt Brock. Leave it how it is. I think it's just how he liked it.

    I voted NO to the change. Can there be a Brock race over the weekend of Bathurst for brock type cars to remember him. RIP PB.

    i think it is a stupid idea. whats the point... as someone said, he knew it is 'mt panorama' and thats how it should stay. just leave it at 'brock skyline'.
