Our deepest sympathies go to the family and friends of Peter Brock, the Australian Racing legend. He was killed in a racing accident earlier today in Western Australia.

10 cars on the track including the 2 McLarens!

Given that the teams tested here last week, you'd expect a few cars out. It could be the fear of showers or thunderstorms later!
