Sadly, the motorsport season of 1955 is remember mostly for its tragic events, such as:

·        Alberto Ascari’s death during a Formula 1 test at Monza

·        Bill Vukovich’s death at Indianapolis

·        The tragedy during the 24Hours of Le Mans. Pierre Levegh went off the track after a crash, ending up inside the public, causing 85 deaths and 105 injured people. After this crash the Formula 1 rounds in France, Germany, Switzerland, and Spain were cancelled that year.
