THE BRIAN PEEK COMMENTARY STUDIO
Brian Peek, the Godfather of the Killarney commentary team for many years, was much more than a commentator – he was a successful racing driver, a kart designer and builder, a timekeeper, one of the founding fathers of the WPMC marshals and above all else, an Alfa Romeo enthusiast of note.
Brian was recruited as a commentator in the mid-1970s by the legendary Rodney Goldberg, who knew a good thing when he heard one. With his clear, slightly gravelly North London voice and phenomenal memory for names and faces Brian proved to be a natural on the mike.
Brian led the commentary team at Killarney for more than 30 years, until his sudden and untimely passing in March 2016. A little man with a huge heart – and voice! – motorsport was his life, and through motorsport he contributed to the lives of everybody in the Killarney family.
So, on 21 August 2026, the commentary studio on top of the Castrol Tower at Killarney was formally named after Brian Peek, as a tribute to his long and devoted service to the WPMC. His son Derek, also a commentator of note, accepted the honour on his behalf.
