To be released in August, Issue 5 of V8 Sleuth Magazine will be almost entirely devoted to classic cars and notable moments of Peter Brock’s legendary career.
The cover car of Issue 05 is the recently restored Mobil 1 Racing VN Commodore (Chassis PE 013) made famous by Brock’s iconic Top 10 Shootout run at the 1991 Bathurst 1000.
Jack Perkins shares first-hand insight into the journey of rebuilding PE 013 from bare shell to a meticulous representation of its Bathurst shootout specification of almost 35 years ago, with the stunning results showcased in an exclusive photoshoot for V8 Sleuth Magazine.
We profile Brock’s first race-winning car for the Holden Racing Team, VP Commodore HRT 028 – a significant factory Holden race car driven by both Brock and Craig Lowndes in 1994.
There’s an in-depth look at the VB Commodore rally car driven by Brock in the famous 1979 Round Australia Trial, unseen pics of HDT’s wild Torana XU-1 Sports Sedan known as ‘The Beast’, reflections on Brock’s ninth and final Bathurst 1000 victory and much more.
