Jake Manley – Z06 Hand Control Race Car

Jake Manley - Hand Control Race Car

Sounds like Jake Manley is up to a new project for Craig Hospital

“Next project! Dad, I got to get you over to the shop! You will love it. The owner said you could come over and help work on the cars any time!

This Z06 will be race ready in July complete with state of the art hand controls! This is going to be bad ass!

I get to drive it on the track in June!

Sounds like a job for GoPro.

Le Mans From 1956

“An amazing piece of footage of Mike Hawthorn doing a lap of Le Mans in 1956 in a D Type Jaguar. It’s incredible to see the bikes and traffic out on the track, and an almost total lack of safety, bearing in mind the previous year a Mercedes flew off the track on pit straight and killed 84 people, seriously injuring a further 120. The accident was inadvertently caused by Hawthorn as he braked to go into the pits, his Dunlop disc brakes were awesome, and other cars braking hard to avoid running into the back of his Jaguar lost control resulting in a Mercedes hitting a sloped earth bank, launching into the air and disintegrating.

Incredibly the race continued, although Mercedes withdrew it’s remaining cars, and Hawthorn went on to win.”
