Last chance to put your name on the Brock 'Dakar Car'

The 'Dakar Car' is a bespoke, spaceframe chassis machine, clad in a Holden Adventra-style body. Originally created for a planned assault on the legendary Dakar Rally by Peter Brock and his son James, the vehicle was partially assembled when Brock was killed in 2006. Five years after Brock's passing, the vehicle's creator, Robert D'Ercole is offering it for sale by Public Tender through Sotheby's Australia on October 15.

Ahead of the Public Tender on October 15, D'Ercole and The Peter Brock Foundation formulated a plan for enthusiasts to have their name permanently added to the 'Brock Dakar Car' by selling space on the vehicle's livery.

The Peter Brock Foundation nominated The Cathy Freeman Foundation to receive all money raised via the payments made to have your name on Brock's racecar. That means every dollar will go directly to benefiting the life of indigenous Australian children. Craig Lowndes has already "signed on". This unique opportunity closes at midday on October 6.

A donation of $25.00 to The Cathy Freeman Foundation will allow an individual to add his or her name to the 'Brock Dakar Car' body, while businesses can donate $100.00 to have their business name added (both amounts are Australian dollars). The special website created around the Brock Dakar Car - www.brockdakar.com.au - has all the details on how you can donate, terms and conditions, plus more. Remember, the chance to have your name added to Peter Brock's last racecar closes at midday, October 6.
