1970
- Holden Torana LC XU1 - Series Production - HDT
Brock gets his hands on the new
GMH weapon, the XU1. Brock was able to record early victories
for the little six at the Winton 1500. The HDT Brock/Bond combination
will be responsible for many "giant killing" performances both on
and off the track. |
 |
1971
- Holden Torana LC XU1 - Rallycross - HDT
Peter made a real name for him
self in the supercharged Rallycross Torana. GTR.
Rallycross was big in the 70's and Channel 7 telecast Rallycross from
both Catalina Park and Calder. Whenever, HDT and Peter
were entered, it proved to be a formidable combination. |

1972
- Holden Torana LJ XU1 - ATCC
Racing Car News was a great patron
for Australian Motorsport artists. This painting by Cole Anderson
shows Brock about to win his first Bathurst. The Bryan Burt
Ford entry close behind. |

1972
- Bathurst 500
Moffat was the touring car ace
but wait, a checky young kid in a GTR-XU1 sliped up the inside during
the pouring rain. HDT team mate Bond flipped his car early in
the downpour but Brock went with it to take his first Bathurst 500
win in 1972. Brock drive the entire 130 laps. These little
202 engines were producing 302 hp and certainly lived up to their
GMH motto, "When your Hot Your Hot". |
 |
1972
- Holden Torana XU1 - Sports Sedan "The Beast" - HDT
Completely gut an old GTR rally
body, plonk in a spare Formula 5000 V8 engine beside the driver, bolt
on the biggest slicks you can manage and go Sports Sedan Racing.
It was difficult for young Brock to keep this thing from going sideways
down the straight. The Beast was a very agricultural but
effective weapon against more sophisticated machinery. |
 |
1973
- Birrana 273 - F2
In 1973, Brock had a very busy
year. He raced an XU1, Sports Sedans and also his own Birrana
F2. Brock's dad, Geoff, could be seen in the paddock preparing
the Birrana for Brock who won many races in it. It proved to
many that Brock had the talent to excel in open wheelers as well. |
 |
1973
- Holden Torana LJ XU1 - ATCC - HDT
HDT and Brock had the 1973 Bathurst
race in the bag. Staying out too long meant that Doug Chivas
ran out of fuel down Conrod. It was agony watching the 52 year
old Chivas pushing the car up the hill to the pits. |
 |
1974
- Holden Torana SLR - Bathurst
Brock had this race shot to pieces
until Harry said, "slow down" and their engine detonated |
