Someone put this together for the 60th anniversary, and it’s a pretty good read. Some of the pics are NSFL, but they are marked on the post.

Indeed a tragedy. The main thing is we learn from these cases and try to improve safety, even though racing is inherently a dangerous business.

It’s just so bad that this one was knowingly preventable.

It’s human nature really. We knew it’s dangerous yet we still go ahead with it. The best example of the worst tragedy was with the spectators of Group B rally in the 80’s. Immensely dangerous to stand literally inches away from fast moving machines, yet people still did it.
The latest freak accident at the Nurburgring was another, which was not the fault of that GTR driver, but the spectators who crossed the inner fence to sit closer, which was forbidden but dunno why no track personnel came and removed them from that area.
That Le Mans tragedy wasn’t the fault of the spectators, but that of the track and organizers. Nowadays the spectators sit further back into the grandstand, with catch fences in front to minimize the chance of these things from happening again.

Oh I wasn’t blaming the driver, I knew it was the tracks fault.
