The story behind the picture....?

Back in the day Glen, Only "Rich guy's" hauled their race cars on trailer's. This was when my Dad raced in the late 50's-early 60's. I remember "My Job" was pulling off hubcaps & taping the headlights, while Dad changed plugs, richen the SU's, etc. All great fun for a 6-8 year old boy, that got to watch his Dad, (My Hero) race a sports car, (Volvo 444, 544, and the fast car a New 1962 P-1800) Cheers Tom.

The “saint’s” car

Roger Moore (aka Simon Templer) driving a P1800....the definition of "cool"

Back to Trintignant and the beanie....not what I would call a good look, but hey, he drove Grand Prix cars, so definitely a cool guy

I don't know the "story" reason behind this incident, but it's certainly spectacular.

This is Hans Hermann, who is (or more correctly, was) driving the flying BRM in the German GP of 1959 at the Avus circuit....




He survived the accident, and currently he's aged 90 years old.


Cheers,
Glen
