Hi Everyone 
Today is another sad one because Australia has lost another legend.  Racing Car driver Peter Brock was racing in a Rally in Western Australia when he suddenly lost control of his racing car and crashed into a tree. He was only 61 years old (same age as dear Carl was when he was taken from us) Peter was killed instantly while his co-driver was injured and taken to Hospital.
For the benefit of you non Aussies who probably don't know who Peter Brock was, he was a racing car driver with over 30 years experience and he has won many awards and trophies over the years. One particular car race Peter won was the James Hardy car race at Mount Panorama at Bathurst in the Blue Mountains which is held every October, he won that race 9 times (more than any other race driver), for that reason he was called The King Of The Mountain and his nick-name was Peter Perfect.
Peter is the second Legend we have lost this week and it sort of makes me wonder who's going to be next. Like Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter), Peter died doing what he loved.
My Sincere Condolences go to Peter's Family and Friends and may he rest in peace through all eternity.
