Brock makes comeback!

It seems that Australian motor racing icon Peter Brock just can't stay away from racing cars and he will be making just one more race appearance in one of Australia's greatest forms of motor racing.

Brock will be out in action in December, driving that mighty Australian motor car, the Holden HQ, in the the Winton 4-Hour Ken Leigh Memorial HQ Enduro.

The event, which usually attracts an entry of around forty of the highly sophisticated six cylinder '202' HQ four door sedans, will see Brock and brother, regular event participant Phil Brock, racing in an HQ sponsored by Brock Real Estate, owned by third brother, Lewis.

"We're just doing this purely as a fun exercise," said Phil of the event which takes place on the 3rd and 4th of December. "Of course I'll be the lead driver because I'm more experienced."

The Brock brothers teamed together often in the Seventies and Eighties in a variety of racing Holdens with a best result of third outright in a Torana L34 at Bathurst in 1976.

Phil, better known as 'Split Pin,' was the unfortunate member of the Holden Dealer Team quartet who in 1983 missed out on Bathurst laurels when Peter and Larry Perkins switched cars to join John Harvey for a controversial victory. He last raced with Peter in 1987.

Peter Brock came out of retirement for the Bob Jane T Marts 1000 at Bathurst in 2004, teamed-up with British Racing driver Jason Plato, but did not actually get to race after Plato was involved in an incident with Scottish driver John Cleland. He was out in action in the UK this year, setting the fourth fastest time at the Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb in a mid-eighties Commodore
