A Tribute to Peter Brock
Peter Brock: 1945 - 2006
Brock Memorial
On 8 September 2006, Australian motorsport lost one of its most well-known and influential drivers, Peter Brock.
Peter Brock was undisputedly the "King of the Mountain" when it came to Mount Panorama and the Bathurst 1000. He won the famed race a record 9 times, a feat as yet unsurpassed.
Race Memorials
Over the years Mount Panorama has claimed the lives of some of its visiting racers. Mount Panorama is the premier motor racing circuit in Australia. This track has seen heartbreak and ecstasy, but it is all overshadowed when we think of those race drivers and riders who fail to tame it.
Winner's Plaques
Mount Panorama has long been an important part of the Bathurst Region and Council, dating back to 1938 when Mayor Martin Griffin opened the fabled circuit. Back then surely he didn't even harness such delusions of grandeur that Mount Panorama would become the iconic Mecca that it is today. With the Bathurst 500 beginning in 1963, Bathurst Regional Council quickly realised the importance of this event to the region, and began to provide some things for the fans outside of race time.
