 Le mans 1955 - Ian (Cape Town)
Recently found - in our local charity shop - some books from that era - automobile year 56; 57/58 and 58/59.
Amazing pics of racecourses where the hay-bales and poles were there to mark the track, NOT to do anything safety-wise.
The Mille Miglia was run on roads lined by the public - one year a dozen died - and the drivers srove in polo shirts, helmets and cravats.
Refuelling - dirty great funnels and jerry cans full of juice. Normally weilded by some chap in jeans and a t-shirt!
