I'd seen this before. Pretty gruesome. I think the worst is the firey crash at 1:51---you see it burst into flames, and in that inferno is a human dying in a most horrific way.

The LeMans start at the beginning reminded me of the 55 Lemans. Although clearly it wasn't that race it was the same timefrace.
Worst accident in Auto Racing.

What is really odd is that the run to the car LeMans start was used until the 1970 race. How would you like to run to the Gulf GT40, jump in and hammer away without the belts fastened? I guess it was pretty simple to do them up on the old Mulsanne straight while going 230 mph and steering with your knees...
Luckily the stupid and somewhat emasculating chicanes were far off in the future...

whadya mean "was back in Tinny's days', no way, in my days we never even had TV's, dvd's or videos, we had a radiogram, AKA wireless, AKA radio, AKA crystal set and listened to exciting drama in the evening. Plus the telephone had just been commercialized. Cars were called tin-lizzies and the means of public transportation was by Omnibus, the original word for what we now call a bus.

Not that I am dating myself of course, but most fine upstandin gent's in Lancashire, wore Trilby's and or flat caps, smoked Woodbines, had shirts with removable collars, wore clogs, worked in the pits, cotton mills or in the trades and a pint o' beer cost a tanner.

Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man
