Pete Brock, stylist for the Corvette Sting Ray, designer of the Cobra Daytona Coupe, founder of BRE and a multi-disciplined Renaissance Man in his spare time, was honored by the Road Racing Drivers Club with its Phil Hill Award at the organization’s annual banquet in Daytona Beach prior to the Rolex 24. Brock is the 21st recipient of the award, named for America’s first World Champion driver, that recognizes the driver, entrant or official who the club feels has rendered outstanding service to road racing.
RRDC President Bobby Rahal, presenting Brock (pictured above) with the pewter rendering of Hill’s 1961 World Championship-winning Ferrari 156 Sharknose, said, “Phil Hill represented everything that was great about the American spirit internationally. He was the first U.S. F1 champion and multi-time winner of Le Mans. He was a gentleman in the finest sense of the word. Tonight’s recipient is a big Phil Hill fan, and I can’t think of a greater recipient than Peter Brock for the Phil Hill Award.”
