1995 - Holden Commodore VR - V8 Supercar - HRT 
In 1995 HRT seemed to get itself together and became competitiive with the master on board.  Mezera, was fast when he could stay on the track.
1996 - Holden Commodore VR - V8 Supercar - HRT 
Brocks car was OK but was overshadowed by Lowndes Supercar. Mechanical breakdowns at various tracks prevented Brock from winning races.  Nevertheless, Brock was up the front end of the field all season.
1996 - Volvo 850 - Super Touring Car - Volvo
Brock even raced a "block of flats".
1996 Around Australia Trail Brock was back in the bush with his VR Commodore during the Mobil Around Australia Trail.   While Brock did not win this event, one of his team mates won it for Holden in an identically prepared car.

1997 - Holden Commodore VS - V8 Supercar - HRT 
After three rounds of the Shell series completed Brock announced his retirement.  The fans were shocked as he was driving as well as any of the young guns in the most competitive touring car series in the world. He was consistently competitive for Pole position and landed on the podium throughout the Series.  World TV audiences witnessed Brocky win the Touring car support events of  the Australian Grand Prix.  Insiders believed that a dispute over his involvement with 2 Litre Volvo had soured his taste for HRT management.  However, the HRT had never been more professional in their presentation and overall competitiveness. They were the No1 team in the country.  Had it not been for a flat tyre in the final laps of the Shell race at Oran Park, Brock would have won the last ATCC race of his career.  At Bathurst, Skaife put 05 on pole. Brock lead the race from the start in his final professional race.  The 05 car retired from the race while leading due to a freak fuel injector problem.  We all witnessed the end of an incredible era with much sadness.  Brock simply smiled and thanked his fans for the opportunity to entertain them.
