Who was Peter Wherrett?

Peter Wherrett was an Australian motoring and motor sport journalist and race car driver.

Wherrett was born in Marrickville, New South Wales. He learned to drive when his parents got their first motor car when he was twelve. Angry at the lack of motorsport newspaper coverage, he complained to various newspapers and was hired in 1958 by The Sydney Morning Herald to write for them on the sport.

Wherrett was best known as the presenter and co-writer of Torque, a popular motoring television show from 1973 to 1980.
