Le Mans 1955 Disaster
« on: 25 September 2013, 00:09:46 »

Have just watched a documentary about this on BBC Four.

Although I have seen this crash before. The more detailed up to date analysis of the crash showing what caused it and the aftermath really shows the danger that existed for the spectators, and drivers, in those days.

What shocked me is that certain details are still secret today and that there is no memorial or remembrance for those that died and suffered that day.  >:( :( :'(

If you haven't seen i'm sure it will be on IPlayer, would recommend

Remember seeing the John Wolfe fatal crash at maison blanche corner in 1969 when he lost his Porsche 917.  Was speaking to him just before the race when he said he was scared of the car. I know he hadn't long bought it.  Sadlt one of many fatals at Le Mans durig the 60s.
