I know it’s French but I always pronounce “Le Mans” in my head the way a redditor would
tldr: British racing driver Mike Hawthorn, making a poor maneuver, moved in front of the faster 300 SLR of Pierre Levagh. The 300 SLR kinda ramped off of the British car, into a crowd, killing Levagh and 83 spectators, many cut in half by the bonnet hitting the at 120 mph
It was Macklin that moved infront of Levegh to avoid Hawthorn. The pit lane should have been separated, spectators shouldn’t have been so close (ofc that was pretty normal for the time) and the track should have been revamped as speeds were wayyyyyy too high compared to when it was designed. Oh and the magnesium body didn’t help

I… they made race cars out of the thing that burns so hot that you classify it as the special kind of fire you can’t use normal firefighting shit on.
They did change the track. There’s now a chicane thing at the Mulsanne straight
I wonder if in the future they will cover racing accidents that don’t have such a high body count. There’s a lot of interesting stuff out there
There are no trains in this one. Not worth watching.
Too much technical jargon in this one for me. I wish they would have just talked about it in Le Mans terms.
