Enjoy! An interesting tidbit
1955 Mercedes withdraws from Lemans as a result of parts from Pierre
Levegh's Mercedes flying into the crowds with disastrous results.
1999 Mercedes withdraws from Lemans as a result of cars flying of the
track.
44 years apart 55+ 44=99
I figured this out while reading a Stirling Moss interview in "Vintage
Racecar Journal" late last night on 9-9-99 . . . Anyone ever notice or
have any of you ever heard anyone mention this?
Atleast Mercedes has made some technological gains over the years.
Safety, no one was hurt this last time, and they figured out how to get
the whole car off the track in one piece.
