Le Mans 1956 Mike Hawthorn.......I was a one year old.....

I would typically be thinking about Le Mans in a couple of weeks and starting to get my gear prepared. Whether it will happen in mid September this year is anybodies guess right now odds must be still 50 50.

I found this historical film sequence a few years ago and everytime I watch it, takes you right to the heart of the race. Obviously the track has changed but not that much. Today the pine trees have been really thinned out (in most cases I suspect used by the campers for firewood).

Enjoy.
