The feud that split the Brock brothers

By late 1983 Peter Brock was the biggest star in Australian motor racing. He was in the middle of a run of six Bathurst 1000 victories in seven years, catapulting him to the level of stardom reserved only for the biggest names in sport.

In 1983, the brothers were again teammates with the Holden Dealer Team , but not due to share the same car. Or was it? Almost immediately word began filtering up and down the pitlane, that Peter and Perkins would take over the second car from their teammates, leaving Harvey and Phil Brock to watch on for the rest of the day.

"But when it came down to it, Peter was the decision maker. He had to make decisions that looked after the sponsors, the guys in the team, even the fans."It couldn't come down to giving favouritism to a particular driver, if it meant it jeopardised the outcome.""Phil was quite justifiably upset by that, and he was wasn't happy with Peter, or with Larry. But in the end, the decision turned out to be the right one," she said.

He crashed, suffering serious injuries after the car hit a telegraph pole. It left him in a bad way, unable to return to work at HDT for more than a few hours at a time. A couple of months later, Peter, the team boss, sacked him. "Phil knew that, as an adult he knew the consequences of drink driving. He'd just taken the car for its launch on the Don Lane Show, and he wrote the car off.

How many Bathursts did he win in the car he started with ? Anyone know.
