I believe, from memory, "The rise and fall of Peter Brock" by Bill Tuckey and John Harvey has a explanation of it's alledged workings. The book is extremely hard to find though and has been out of print for years. The last copy I saw was on Ebay. The one I read was from a public library!!!

I guess the most interesting thing that came out of the interview was Brocky advocating his concern and interest for the youth of today. His "calling" as he states it is to preach about the values of persistence and never giving up. How important it is to be successful in what ever you do to the best of your ability etc etc.................
Fine words from a man who has just given up on a long term relationship with his life long partner. The saddest thing about this whole issue is that success seems to be judged by the more material aspirations and successes rather than the more important human aspects of our actions...... ![]() Brocky as a role model..................No thanks.

l own a copy of that book, havent read it for years but its pretty good. Tuckeys sense of humour keeps it interesting. l'm a big fan of Brock but didnt think he was too convincing on Denton. |

And to add more to the Brocky saga the latest news is that after mentioning that he was going to get more involved in V8 racing he is pulling the pin on the Brock racing team at the end of the year.

I saw it in Auto Fiction as well. He's dissolving the partnership with his step son James at the end of the current season. Brock has had talks with GM again, must be a new Team Brock on the horizon in the very near future. James will continue as best he can.

I spoke to a Bosch guy today who informed me that AMG will release a E63 model in the European autumn with a 6.3 litre V8 with forced induction. Sick machine.
