Australian/New Zealand Fatalities
So... I think it's time for a new (smaller) project.
Since I've been adding New Zealand and especially Australian accidents to the forum for quite some time now, the next logical step would be to add at least some of them to the CPdB.
Any help is of course highly appreciated. I'll start with a list of all relevant items.

I think the event might have been the Australian Touring Car Title race meeting, Monday 1st Feb 1960. (Maybe a public Holiday?) So there would have also been racing on Saturday and Sunday 30th/31st January.(The ATCC was decided over 1 race in those days.) The track was AFAIK mainly consisted of public roads and not a full time racetrack. They only ever held 2 races per year, one being in October.
The only cars running wire wheels in the main event would have been Jaguar Saloons, and none of them overturned, although a few spinners as the track got wet. The only rollover in that race was an FJ Holden (R.Sawyer) and they certainly had steel rims.
However I have seen pictures of C Type Jaguars etc at that meeting, and the programme cover has a drawing of open wheelers and sports cars, with the main illustration being touring cars.
So not identifying it as such, but at least getting the meeting date (and likleyhood it was January 31st not the impossible February 31st mentioned) and that it was likely in the Sports car support race to the ATCC main event.

Funnily enough it makes mention of an upcoming feature on Simca cars which interests me as I have an interest in Simca cars through history. Im hoping it will include racing photos from history.... a friend of mine's Father was heavily involved in Simca Racing back in France

Glad you like it. The members there in general are very active. Many of them have a racing background and I'm sure you'll find at least some info about Simca Racing.Everso Biggyballies wrote: ↑5 years agoI just googled the page, clicked on the link and can access it no worries.

This project is almost finished.
I contacted Race18 Motorsport Photography and asked for permission to use their photos. They've read the message but haven't replied.
For most of the remaining cases, there's only a video available.

Re the Peter Brock accident. These are all photos (= not video screenshots) I was able to find of his accident. If you have anything to add, please do so. Otherwise, I'll add them to the CPdB.
