As good as a GOPRO.. LEMANS DEMO DRIVE Mike Hawthorn

A demo drive around Le Mans a couple of days before the 1956 event.

French people still going about their business while this drive was happening

Not 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.

I believe that was a Greek bloke on holidays in France.

No way mate. The Greek bloke was the one smoking the cigarette and doing nothing!

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.
