Peter♕ Brock will prepare for his final assault on the Bob Jane T-Marts 1000 at Bathurst by heading to Athens to assist the Australian team at the Olympic🌳 Games.
As he did in 2000 at the Sydne♛y games, Brock will take on the role of Athlete Liaison - using his many years experience behind the wheel to𒅌 help give the teams members a positive attitude as they go for gold.
"In Sydney it was quite surprising to realise how much knowledge of motorsport and in particular Bathurst's famous endurance race that all the Australian at▨hletes possess," he said.
"I've been active in this role since 1999 and have been involved with numerous training camps and performance sessions for a wide range of sports and for me it's a two-fold situation. The athletes can derive positives from my past experiences and are able to question me about different aspects relating to appropriate preparation and execution at t✤he elite level.
"But I also come away from the experience a much more motivated individual. It'll be hard yakka over the next month but to go over to Athens and deal with people who are at the peak of their sport internationally is a rare opp꧒ortunity.
"When you𝕴've got a front row seat as more than 7000 of the World's best athletes are aspiring for excellence you can't help but b𝓀e inspired."
Despite his role in Greece, Brock - Bathurst's most successful driver - insists he will be ready for this years race, where he will partner British Touring Car ace Jason Plato in the #5 Holden Commodo🐽re.
"While I won't be driving in Athens I will be involved in a range of training sessions specific to each sport so that's sure to keep the fitness levels up," he said. "I🐎f anything, such cross training will probably have me fitter than usual as the body will have to adjust to the different demands.
"I arrive back in Australia the day before the Betta Electrical Sandown 500 and then leav💃e with Todd Kelly to contest an eight-day safari event. There'll be no problems about spending enough time behind the wheel before the Bob Jane T-Marts 1000 and I'll be raring to go come start time."
