A well rounded look at motor sport icon Peter Brock that goes beyond his racing exploits to look at the cost that was paid by both him and his family.
Doesn't shy away from challenging topics such as domestic violence, insecurities, selfishness, whilst sharing the love that his family and most of Australia had for him.
Great to see the old cars again and watch the footage with more of an understanding of what was happening behind the scenes.
I was a big fan as a kid and he gave me my love for racing...at the time he was an icon...a legend...now I can see him as a man, both weak and strong.
Congratulations to all involved.

Brock Doc a Winner
When a doc about a sporting icon, particularly a motor sporting icon can entertain punters previously not the least bit interest in such subject matter .... then you know it's a winner! Brock: Over the Top is just that doc.
Peter Brock is a legend of Australian Motor Racing, so the appeal will be with Australians first but there is a human interest story behind a man with a will to win but who had frailties so comon for enigma s like Brock.
Love the man, love the doco!
