PETER Brock’s legend is in safe hands on Gold Coast as three of the nine-time Bathurst Champion’s race cars were ­unveiled at Dreamworld ­yesterday.

Opening in December, the theme park’s Motorsport Precinct will hold 30 of Brocky’s race cars.

A crowd of 200 motor racing fans were able to check out the first three yesterday.

Bev said she was excited the race cars were being taken from the obscurity of a museum shed in Central Queensland to a major exhibition on the Gold Coast.

“It’s a very humbling and emotional moment – to see Peter honoured in this way is quite remarkable,” she said.

“It’s fantastic that more people will get to see the cars.”

Gold Coast local Jamie Whincup said it would be great to see Brock’s race cars put on public display at Dreamworld.

“He is an icon of our sport and always will be,” Whincup said.

“I think it’s fantastic that these cars are right here on the Gold Coast and representing motorsport.

“There’s simply no bigger name in racing than Peter Brock.”
