Niko Posted 15April, 2013 Report Share Posted 15April, 2013 https://vimeo.com/59410466#at=0A demo drive around Le Mans a couple of days before the 1956 event.French people still going about their business while this drive was happeningNot exactly a GOPRO but for the era pretty damn good.The title says it is 1955 but obviously wrong.For those that didn't know there were 81 spectators killed in the 1955 event.

Kerry Posted 15April, 2013 Report Share Posted 15April, 2013 Actually better than the GoPro cos its a standard lens rather than a silly wide, and you actually get a proper sense of perspective of what and where and how fast. Nice Niko! Kerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 15April, 2013 Report Share Posted 15April, 2013 Great commentary. Thanks for putting this up Niko. One wobbly cyclist who perhaps had a few too many vins rouges with lunch. How about the high tech safety of the sand banks? The drivers would've needed to carry a shovel in case they got beached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
