Bizzarrini Iso Grifo A3C

Yesterday I found an episode of Jay Leno’s Garage about the Bizzarrini A3C. The exact one that raced at Le Mans in 1965 and came in first in it’s class. You can find more info on the car here at W-143.

Other interesting facts on the 1955 race

Interestingly, this morning I found an article at Petrolicious about the 1955 race. Not about the crash and tragedy, but some interesting facts about the race per se. A short read with some VERY cool (non-crash) period photos.

The 1955 Le Mans crash

I’ve seen many videos and articles on the terrible 1955 tragedy. Some quite good and a few with too much bias. But so far this video here is the best one I’ve seen to date, with a very good description of what actually happened.

Kudos to Aidan Millward 🍻
