    1000 thanks , I may have opened a discussion a little 'too shocking but it cannot be more than those who speak of their restoration, or those looking for a piece or that make
    advertising for themselves ! In this occasion I apologize with those that have
    offended or scandalized.

    Frankly I am surprised by these comments. I would suggest the viewing of the funerals of Antonio and Alberto Ascari, Von Trips,Portago, Collins just to name a few. Having had a good friend killed on the Nurburgring in 1959 testing a motor cycle and attending his funeral back here in the USA it's hard for me to not find many of these pictures somewhat unsettling. tongascrew

    Thanks much for these pix. I have a copy of the Riverside LP "A Memorial Tribute The Marquis De Portago" I have never played it as I don't have the correct record player and have it stored in an air tight plastic envelope outside the dust jacket. I just wonder if you have ever listened to it and your impressions. Thanks tongascrew

    Just found this thread and I agree. Accidents happen, and are a part of racing. No disrespect to those hurt or killed, but this is part of the car / racing passion.

    I have heard of this event, and have never seen photos.

    Sad as they are, thank you for sharing them.

    Is there any other back ground information? Were there other photos, how did you come up with a serial number?

    Best wishes, Kare

    I think it's good that we don't forget these kinds of events. Modern race (and street) cars, safety equipment and track design have all come out of these incidents. We have learned from them. As a result, racing (as a driver and a spectator) is so much safer today that fatalities are fairly rare. Which is a good thing.

    I had never seen the footage of Levegh's car launching. That explains a lot.

    I agree.

    I highly recommend watching the old videos as they are, well, old and cool to watch.

    Sad, but also a great reminder of the destruction that lurks around the corner when these cars are driven at speed in anger.

    Whether driven that way in the past or the present. One should pick their battles as cars and people and sometimes even cows get destroyed.

    The number of deaths in the incident. The story is found in many newspapers of the time and the process for the blame went on more than one years.
    The serial number was found from plate number.

    Ciao, Kare.

    Many thanks for starting this thread and sharing these photos! These are valuable little pieces to the giant puzzle we are trying to solve!

    If you have the ACI/PRA docs, can you share date of certificate and first registeration? I'm particularly interested as serial number is relatively close to my 3197.

    Best wishes, Kare
