And the Most Amazing Thing about this Crash is that so few People were Hurt unlike the 1955 Grand LeMans Crash. I have not been able to see a Video on how her Car got Airborne but it may be similar to Grand LeMans as she may have clipped a Car in front of her and Bounced off of it going Airborne. 3X3 Where do you get the “grand” from?

quilp Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Prix, probably. Interesting that the inquiry into the crash revealed many reservations before and after the race that the track itself hadn't been modernised for these machines of increasing speed. It was 30 years old at the time of the disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 It used to be a grand prix though I'm not sure it was that year, it certainly was even after 1955 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phat Tog Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The Le Mans 24 hours has never been termed a Grand Prix. The circuit was used to host the French GP in 1921 but that was an entirely different event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Colombe Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 1 hour ago, the stinking enigma said: the first grand prix that france ever held was at le mans And was therefore the first Grand Prix ever. According to Wiki, it started and finished in Le Mans but was a 60-ish mile circuit through a series of villages. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 But by 1955 it wasn’t described as a Grand Prix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
