Pete is never given the amount of credit that a lot of automotive "Legends" actually owe to him. Just a cool, well-rounded man who has much more class than some of those that were above him-

Had a 64 vette, it led me into SCCA road racing MGBs and also did the Daytona 24 and very happy now with my 2019 Z06. Never really knew who I owed so much too! Thank you sir.

What a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing.

[@georgekozak12]

Fascinating history very well told! I can't wait for further installments.

[@ceesdewidt887]

Fascinating stuff! More please

[@alastairwatson3201]

Wow! The word “legendary“ gets overused. Not in this case! Your American Peter Brock is amazing. There’s also a weird symmetry that our Australian Peter Brock - who might reasonably also be described as a legend - died racing a Daytona coupe in a Targa event. A great video. I look forward to part 2.

Great interview! Golf kart goes by at about 100mph at one point.

[@craigyirush3492]

I assume Brock was joking when he said that was the end of the story because the car won the world championship the next year.

The Daytona Coupe wasn't that far off in design from the 250 GTOs. Surprised Pete got so much pushback.

I came in third at a local gymkhana. They wouldnt give me the trophy when they realized I wasnt old enough to drive..
