Mr Brock lost control of his Daytona Coupe race car in a three day rally in Western Australia last week, slamming into a gum tree last Friday, the incident killing him and injuring his co-driver Mick Hone.
State police have carried out an autopsy and retired a “black box” from the wreckage of the car to find out why it crashed. The box will be sent to Victoria where its data, including speed, braking and steering, will be examined.
The funeral will be held at St Paul’s Anglican Cathedral next Tuesday in Melbourne. A memorial service will then be held for the 61 year old at Melbourne’s Sandown Raceway on September the 22nd.
"All Victorians and all Australians obviously want to pay tribute to Peter Brock and the legacy which he left of course as a champion of road safety, as someone who was king of the mountain, top of motor-sport in Australia, whose record will probably never be beaten in the Bathurst event in any year and of course someone who championed the cause of saving lives on our roads," Victorian state premier Steve Bracks said.
A private service for the family and a cremation will follow the state funeral.
In addition, the Victorian government will work with the Peter Brock Foundation to establish a lasting tribute to the racing legend.
