1990 - ford Sierra - Group A - Mobil 1 Racing 
 Fans could handle his defection to BMW but to Ford???!!!! Nevertheless, many loyal Holden and Brock fans were very annoyed at Holden for the way they treated the King.  Market Research showed that Brock had a huge product loyalty projection and thus Mobil, Bridgestone, NGK stayed with him.
1991 - Holden Commodore VN -Group A - Mobil 1 Racing
1991 started well for Brock.  He went to NZ and cleaned up the Mobil Series for the second year running in his Sierra.  He returned to Aussie and announced a team alliance with his olde mates Perkins and HOLDEN. Holden fans were overjoyed at the return of the master.   Indeed, he won the first race heat of the ATCC in the Holden at Amaroo Park.
1991 - Holden Commodore VN S V6 - Bathurst 12 Hour 
VN S at the first Bathurst 12 hour in 1990.  Brock was fantastic to watch in this car as he drove the ass off this car for a full 12 hours. Guess what, it finished and finished very well overall.
1992 - Holden Commodore VN - ATCC - Mobil 1 Racing
1992, saw more changes for the Brock team.  Perkins had departed after an disaster at Bathurst in 1991.  Brock started his own Holden Team and maintained his tradition of partnering overseas talent at the Mountain. Unfortunately, a broken tailshaft at the start line  destroyed any hope of a 10th victory at Bathurst.  It seemed lady luck had deserted the master.
1992 - Peugeot 405 Mi16 - Bathurst 12 Hour - Mobil 1/Peugeot 
"The Frogs are coming, the Frogs are coming".............Yes Brock set up a three car attack on the 12 Hour for a class win against Frog rival Citroen.  What a mess, frog legs everywhere on the mountain, but Citroen the victor this time.
1993 - Holden Commodore VP - V8 Supercar - Mobil 1 Team 
In 1993, Brock operated a tight little one car team managed by Advantage International.   This team was able to expand to a two car operation for Sandown and Bathurst enduros.  Troy Dunstan drove the other car very capably to some very respectable finishes
1993 VP SS Tony Scott car sponsored by Brisbanes Castle Hill.
The VP SS Commodore performed absolutely faultlessly in the 1993 James Hardie 12 hour race.  Both Peter Brock and Tony Scott had a ball driving the George Shepard supervised machine which incidentally gave Peter his 10th Victory at Bathurst in a GM product.  They took out 1st place in Class D for cars over 5000cc.  Picture courtesy of Stephen Bell, thanks mate.
1994 - Holden Commodore VP - V8 Supercar - HRT 
The boss was back at the factory team.  The HRT had been struggling to be competitive and was reported to be cash strapped.  Brock brought with him several major sponsors such as Mobil, Bridgestone NGK etc.  As a result the HRT profile rose significantly.  The V8 Supercar formula was now super competitive yet Brock found himself on the podium on several occasions.  Brock won the first ATCC round for HRT with a convincing win at Eastern Creek.  Even team boss, Tom Walkinshaw was there to witness the event.  Boy was Tom happy, the factory team was finally competitive.
