Australian motor sport legend Peter Brock has been killed in a rally crash in Western Australia, Sky News is reporting.
It's understood the crash occurred while Brock was taking part in the Targa West rally in Western Australia.
Brock, 61, was driving with Mick Hone in a Daytona Coupe.
The circumstances of the accident remain unclear.
The Targa West takes place over four days and is divided into two categories, competition and challenge, the latter catering for relatively standard specification road cars.
The rally began in Perth on Thursday.
Race organisers said an announcement would be made soon.
They would confirm only that an accident had taken place.

Have to be one of the greatest sporting individuals this country's ever seen.
Going to be a lot of heartache amongst our boys - an absolute idol - or villain, depending if you were a Ford fan - to most men in this country. Whether they were a Ford supporter, would have been a lot of respect for him
Some girls thought he was okay as well ;)
For a Pies supporter he did all right :thumbsup
