Brian Sampson (racing driver)
Brian Sampson (born 17 June 1935) is an Australian retired racing driver.
Sampson had a long career throughout the 1960s and 1970s, which he still continues as a hobby. Sampson was a mainstay of the Australian Motor Industries-Toyota Team at the Bathurst 500 from 1965 to 1970, winning Class A in 1969 in a Corolla.
Well noted as a collector and racer of Cheetah racing cars, he is best remembered as Peter Brock's co-driver to win the 1975 Bathurst 1000. He also won the 1977 Rothmans 500 co-driving with Warren Cullen.

gollark: (it makes plants)
gollark: I just play modded mostly, and build overcomplicated machinery like this recent thing.
gollark: I mean, there are things which may make you wonder "what happened here" and inspire you to think of some sort of history (strongholds, mineshafts, etc.), but there is no actual explanation, and that's kind of part of the point of a *sandbox*.
gollark: * doesn't have lore exactly
gollark: Exactly.
