@@Hugofreddie Actually it was already established at the time that while the chain broke what killed J.G. Parry-Thomas was the car rolling and him receiving a fatal head injury when his head hit the ground. There are even stories that the chain broke and nearly decapitated him. It's false.

@Hugofreddie 4 года назад

@@McLarenMercedes it's a tricky one as no one is still quite sure what happened it is supposed that one of the rear wheels collapsed . However he was nearly decapitated by the accident ,and it was said at the time a chain broke on recovery both chains were intact , there was and still is the possibility that an item.of clothing got caught as there were only minimal fairings . Either way chain drive is lethal and no one knows what caused Babs to crash but point taken .

I've been watching Jay's videos for about as long as he's been posting them. As far as bringing automotive history to life, nobody even comes close. He doesn't just show off the cars, he explains the time period, the human intention behind their design and so much more. What he offers here is pure gold for us gear heads, and you can't find it anywhere else. As such, it saddens me to see trolls and political arguments popping up in the comments. To me it's like a monument getting covered in graffiti. Is it too much to ask, for people to appreciate excellence?
