1955 Le mans - deadliest crash - iplayer

Post by Ben »

Have a look at iplayer - factual - deadliest crash.

The story of the 1955 accident where the SLR crashed into the crowd.

Racing in those days was terrifying!.

Oh yeah. He's racing for Sumopower in their GTR this year. The fact that he's alive and well make the Merc clip all the funnier :)

This was an accident from the Time Attack at silverstone a couple of years back. The guy was fine inspite of crossing the start/finish line doing 90 mph backwards along the pitwall. The sound of the impact was scary. I really thought he was going to take Alan out as well.
