9/8/2006 2:17 AM
Australian motor sport legend Peter Brock has been killed in a rally crash in Western Australia.
It's understood the crash occurred while Brock was taking part in the Targa West rally in Western Australia.
Brock, 61, was driving with Mick Hone in a Daytona Coupe.
The Targa West takes place over four days and is divided into two categories, competition and challenge, the latter catering for relatively standard specification road cars.
The rally began in Perth on Thursday.
The pair were well back in the 80-team field and would have been one of the last teams to begin today's leg in their 2001 Daytona Coupe.
Brock is a nine-time winner of Australia's most prestigious racing event, the Bathurst 1000.
Race organisers said an announcement would be made soon, confirming only that an accident had taken place.

It has been a tragic week in Australia this week...![Sad [:(]](/emoticons/frown.gif)
