Not quite perfect but damned close! Even Peter Brock would be happy!
Apologies for the thread drift, but there is a lesson here - Brock was far from "perfect"!

Listened to an interview with Ross Dunkerton, the winner of the event in which "Peter Perfect" lost is life.

Dunkerton drove the section 18 times before the event and made rally notes. He noted the fatal corner as "DANGER" and went through it at about 90 km/hr in his state-of-the-art 4 x 4 EVO rally car.

Brock just arrived and drove the event on the day in an older rear wheel drive car. Believed to have gone into the corner at about 120 km/hr.

He didn't make it!
