Dave Charlton had crashed, taking out Hailwood, Clay Regazzoni and Jacky Ickx. Mike was able to trigger his onboard fire extinguisher, but Regazzoni was unconscious and strapped into a fireball. Hailwood tried to drag Regazzoni out but his own hands, feet and legs had caught fire. Hailwood had to run away briefly and smother the flames. The marshals had covered the car in foam and were trying to drag Regazzoni out when the car burst into flames again. Hailwood plunged into the flames again and this time dragged Regazzoni clear.

A post from way back on page 36.
A couple more photo's of interest.

Two Alfas came racing along in close convoy (Ballot Lena leading Dubos) - Ballot saw the BMW at the last second and swerved around it but poor Dubos had nowhere to go and slammed into the BMW.

Claude Ballot-Léna skidded some 100 meters down the road. Fortunately he escaped unhurt and immediately ran back to the accident in a vain attempt to help the other drivers, though it was concluded later that both men were killed almost instantly.

This time a post from page 74 and a couple more photos to add. The second image is of particular interest as it shows Dubos' car.

Change this to Oulton Park and you got it..... there is even footage of it on a popular video sharing website.

Typical Senna move frankly, let me through or we'll crash. Bully.

Mexican Moises Solana was a very skilled racing driver but he decided to race mainly in South America. He took part in eight GP, six of them in Mexico and put in some very good performances. He qualified 7th for the 1967 US GP in a Lotus.

These images are very rare showing the aftermath of his fatal crash while competing in the Valle de Bravo hill-climb in 1969 driving a McLaren M6B. He lost control and crashed heavily.

Thanks The Dark.
It what stops me regarding Senna in any way as the Best Racing Driver Ever. Great driver, but badly flawed. He didn't have the class of a Clark, Moss, Fangio, Mears, Petty etc.

Dan Wheldon

Here is video that shows his impact, unlike most of the videos that you see online that do not show it

The other problem is that most people make the mistake of thinking that Will Powers car is Dan Wheldons

This video points out Wheldons car so you can see the brutality of this horrific crash

Dan Wheldon should still be alive today because the track in Vegas is super small and to run 32 cars at 220mph is just asking for trouble

Unfortunately the cost of asking for that trouble was the life of a great driver

RIP Dan

I also have some very nice Close Up HQ pics I will post first while the video is converting

Günter Klass crashed fatally on Saturday 22nd July 1967 on the then 66km long road course Circuito del Mugello during practice. The Ferrari Dino 206SP left the road on the downhill section from Giogo Pass to Firenzuola and burst into flames when it hit a tree on the driver's side. Klass was trapped behind the steering wheel and suffered fatal chest and internal injuries. He was dragged from the wreck but his injuries must have been terrible.
