15th June 1958: The Circuit That Rewarded the Brave

from Chequered Past · host Martin Elliot

On June 15th, Chequered Past takes you to the fearsome Spa-Francorchamps for the 1958 Belgian Grand Prix, where Tony Brooks delivered a flawless victory on one of the sport’s most demanding circuits. We then honour the memory of James Hunt, the 1976 World Champion whose sudden death in 1993 shocked the racing world. Finally, we relive the drama of the 1997 Canadian Grand Prix, where chaos reigned and the “Wall of Champions” claimed its first high-profile victim. A day marked by courage, character, and consequence. Send us Fan MailMusic by #Mubert Music Rendering
