Video documentary: The Deadliest Crash - LeMans 1955

An interesting video documentary that recently appeared on the BBC about the tragic 1955 24 Hours of LeMans race, which was marred by a very deadly crash. This race prompted Mercedes-Benz to get out of factory-sponsored racing for the next 35-40 years.

There are six files totaling about an hour's video, but worth watching. All are FLV (flash video) files.

Cheers,
Gerry
