According to news reports from Australia, there will be a memorial held for the late Peter Brock, one of Australia's most legendary racecar drivers. Quoting the operations manager for the upcoming Lexmark Indy 300, David Bennett,
We discussed a Peter Brock memorial tribute at our mamagement meeting today and its' still to be finalized, but we will definitely be doing something. We'll probably make a decision on that later this week and an announcement early next week. It'll be something based around the V8 Supercars because obviously he was a big part of that, but the details are yet to be finalized. We'll do something on-track---maybe involving one of his old cars---but we don't know exactly what it's going to be yet.
Brock, a legend in Australian racing who won the legendary Bathurst 1000 nine times in his career, was killed in a racing crash during the Targa West rally northeast of Perth, Australia; a state funeral for Brock is scheduled for Tuesday in Melbourne, Australia. Meanwhile, preparations are continuing for the penultimate round of the 2006 Champ Car World Series, scheduled for 20-22 October 2006 on the Australian Gold Coast at Surfers Paradise.
