To the memory my hero Peter Brock.


The Supercar Experience team owned by V8 privateer Mal Rose has been saddened by the loss of Peter Brock.

As a life time racing hero to Mal, he will be sadly missed.

He has touched a lot of people in many ways and was a inspiration in the creation on my Hot Laps Experience business.

As we all try to ( 'Live our dreams' ) as Peter would say, I have a memory that I will cherish for ever.

When I made my debut to Bathurst in my own team in 1996 I was fighting for the Privateer Cup ( second in class & 12th outright ) when only two laps before I would jump back into my VS Commodore for the final stint to home, my co-driver crashed into the wall between the dipper and forest elbow.

I was devastated and went back to my workshop ( where I lived as well ) to ponder over what might have been.

A couple of days latter my phone rang early in the morning to a call that went...

"Hi Mal. This is Peter Brock. I'm wondering how you are & don't to give up trying because of the co-drivers crash."

He would ask me several times 'How are you really?' and I would reply OK , however he didn't realise just how much this meant to me - just to get a call from my childhood hero!

The conversation lasted for some time as Peter & I shared some great memories & times in the race.

To this day Peter Brock will always be my hero in motorsport as a true gentleman and a friend - someone who would take the time to call a privateer to encourage me to succeed in my chosen sport.

To the family & friends of Peter Brock our sincere thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mal & Jenny Rose
with Olivia & Emily
and all The Supercar Experience team

footnote: In 1997 Mal & Kevin Burton were 4th privateer and 12th outright, in 1998 Mal would win the Privateers Cup and 10th outright
