            I couldn't believe it when my Dad told me it happened.

            RIP Peter Brock.

            The car was a Shelby AC Cobra Daytona Coupe.

              I believe a Daytona Coupe was a kind of AC Cobra with roof, from memory.
              Yea it is, these were developed to aid aerodynamic efficiency to become successfull in the daytona 500


              The car that was involved in the accident was a 5.7ltr replica.

              I think this sad incident shows, clearly, how dangerous driving quickly is on public roads, no matter how confident you are in your capabilities, we should all take note.

                Most championship races were held on high speed tracks where the Cobras with their brick-like aerodynamics were at a disadvantage. To solve this problem, Shelby commissioned Peter Brock to design a coupe body for the Cobra chassis. Dubbed the Daytona Coupe, the 20 mph faster Cobra made its debut in the 1964 season.

                coincidence???fate??? i dont think its the same guy, just going off the year, but still... freaky

                    Yes, there is a famous racing Peter Brock in the USA as well. I remember reading an article that compared them or something. I still can't believe our Brocky died today...

                                they are continuing it, they are calling it a tribute to him now.

                                RIP
