1955 Le Mans 24h [60fps HQ] Jaguar D-Type vs. Mercedes 300 SLR / Le Mans Disaster 

One of the most tragic races in motorsport history. Thank you for keep uploading.

Merci beaucoup de nous faire revivre cette course mythique. On a du mal à croire que les gens tournent leur regard vers la course alors qu'en face un drâme horrible se déroule dans la tribune. La mort ne leur faisait pas peur. Peut être habitués avec la 2ème guerre qui était encore dans les mémoires.

You can see Hawthorn pitting the following lap as he broke so hard that he missed the pits in his first attempt. He definitely somehow contributes to the tragedy will all respect to his memory.

Fantastic footage, Thanks!

Amazingly clear footage, best I`ve seen.

and the race goes on...😱

RIP Pierre Levegh 1905-1955

Even though this race played host to one of the biggest motorsport tragedies ever, I’m impressed that the video quality is as good as it is.

This is fantastic 👍👍Thank you for your sharing 🙏👍

I beg you Sir, keep uploading other Le Mans' footoges! I'm a fanatic of sportcars and addicted to Le Sarthe's 24 Hours so bad!!!

Nice job of matching audio to video.

Some spectators lost their heads from a flying bonnet, very sad!!

What a sound ! Fantastic ! So different for today !

the one scene was hoping to be upscaled or colored in is not, I am assuming it is because it's the only footage that has a panning camera shot. I have seen a lot more footage of the disaster from the British Pathe I believe, it is pretty crazy.

You notice they never show you the Mercedes rear body work opening up like a flap to help the burnt out brakes in the corners? Look at frame 1 min and 50 seconds on this and see the Mercedes coming round the corner behind the D types with its rear body just shutting down from its upright position as an air brake, its clearly visible if not 4 seconds of film This is why they pulled out as they didn't have the brakes They even had to fit a clear window in the flip up back as drivers complained from behind they couldn't se ahead when it came up And then ofc the Austin Healy that caused the crash along with its driver and the works Healy team saying nothing as hawthorn took the blame lots of bad things in this race but none of them jaguar or its drivers

Complimenti per il filmato

Aqui no Brasil assistindo em 2022 ; Thanks !

Different breed back then. More adventurer than councilor.

Hard to believe one of those drivers and 83 people will die later that evening

Wasn't the original footage in B&W?
