Le Mans 24 Hours 1969 - La Ronde Infernale Part 2 of 4. The race gets underway. Jacky Ickx was opposed to the traditional Le Mans start which he considered to be dangerous, he slowly walked across the track to his machine, instead of running. He locked the safety belt carefully and thus was the last to start the race, chasing the field. In lap one, a tragic event proved that Ickx was right: private driver John Woolfe had a fatal accident in his new and powerful 917 and fellow countryman Willy Mairesse had an accident which ended his career. Neither of them had taken time to belt himself in.

very nice video, the golden age of sports car. maybe the best race ever: Ferrari, Porsche, FOrd...sadness for Woolfe. Somewhere i red that i didn't fast his seatbelt..but he was very unlucky because after a very bad crash the Ferrari of Amon hit him at full speed..
He won, idiot. He realized it would be pointless to waste his energy running all the way to his car and to purposely throw aside his own safety by not putting on his seat belt just to save a few seconds in a 24 hour race.
