Le Mans Disaster

The Le Mans disaster was a tragedy resulting in the death of 83 people in June 1955, occurring at the Circuit de la Sarthe in France. It was so tragic that Mercedes Benz retired from motor racing until 1989. Motor racing was banned as a result but is now permitted again in Switzerland.
