and in spelling checked:

"I Believe that having a Peter Brock fairest and best trophy, or something similar would be an appropriate tribute"

sorry dude, had to :p

But I agree with that idea, Brock was a sportsman to the end so I think that isn't a bad idea.
I Also believe that renaming the event is a bit much, I would like to think they would have a minutes silence to renember him, that would go appreciated I would hope.

heard this on the radio today. has been confirmed with CAMS

A new trophy will be called the "Peter Brock Memorial Trophy" and be engraved with "king of the Mountain" as the winners trophy
All 9 cars Brocky won bathurst in will do a lap of honour
Row 1 will remain empty.
May be more, but I forget

James Hardie 1000 etc there has been many different names...

I for one am against the name changing of the event, i think Peter would be the same. I'd just love to see the HRT cars in the most famous colors for the weekend, the marlboro colors and of course, the HRT colors of the early 90's, i think that would be a perfect tribute.

IMHO it's very fitting. The 1st row & parade of his winning cars will be a great celebration of his life and the trophey will keep the legend alive into the future for those who don't remember the good ol' days.

:rip: to the man who was an inspiration to so many.
