S4 Ep28: The Le Mans Motor Racing Disaster - 1955

It’s 1955. It’s Le Mans, France and a quarter of a million people have turned out to watch one of the most boring sporting events on the planet - The Le Mans 24 Hour. In what rich, champagne-spraying playboys are already toasting as the 28th lap of the CB Wallop podcast, join Phil Jerrod and Phil Lucas as they discuss the Le Mans Motor Racing Disaster of 1955 - Dozens of very fast cars, thousands of very boring miles, and one tragic decision that led to the worst accident in motor racing history. Is motor racing still boring though? ... yes... yes it is. Trigger Warning: This one is all fun until about halfway through - then it’s really nasty. It has lots and lots of decapitations in it. It’s pretty horrid, but nothing too graphic (although Sterling Moss does get pissed on from a tree). It’s mainly about Motor Racing though, which, as I’m sure you know, is terribly boring.
