i remember the 88 race very well. brock ran through the sandtrap at skyline in front of me and what seemed like seconds later dick spun down conrod, allowing moff into the lead

and 100 laps from that, my world fell apart

I'm with you.

I can't ever remember Brock driving a turbo BMW. The Chev Monza, I remember, as that was about the only time Brocky was involved in a crash.

The point I strongly object to in this thread is the use of the term 'overrated' linked to Peter Brock. He was one of the best drivers of his ilk, fullstop. Whether he was the best ever... well it's a topic that will be debated until the cows come home.

But to finish off on this topic, he was voted as the second best tin top driver of all time (surprisingly, behind Steve Soper) ... but what else would you expect from a British poll.
