Default The most uncredible video ever seen...

in 1956 Hawthorn runs his Jaguar in Le Mans with a camera on the back of thecar and a microphone on his helmet...but the track is still open to traffic!!!!!!!!!!!! Watch the bicycles and other cars while he's flat out! Just amazing! Try to imagine this today...

That is awesome.......I have never seen that before. Thank you for posting it.
