The way it was, enjoy........... Mike Hawthorn(Lemans winner 1955) driving a preview lap on the Lemans track in a Jaguar.(1956!) on Vimeo
Even with the rebuilding of the pits after the 1955 disaster, the front straight still looks ridiculously narrow. And what a novelty to see the Mulsanne straight completely devoid of guardrails! The fact that this video was shot with the track still open to normal road traffic makes it even more memorable.
