I had a couple of the promotional posters when I worked at Bob Jane when I was 18, and being as I had been a Porsche fan since I was 10, they were prized possessions. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrera28 Posted 6June, 2023 Report Share Posted 6June, 2023 Brock and Perkins missed two rounds of the ATCC in 1984 to prepare for the race, given Brock finished second in the championship and was only driver to win more than one race that season it potentially cost him a shot at the championship that year. https://www.carthrottle.com/post/wg8vzbq/ Le Mans may have indirectly led to the downturn in Brock's career as he was apparently exhausted after Le Mans and in order to recover was introduced to Eric Dowker who was part of the group that developed the infamous energy polariser.
