It was a year that motor racing wasn't safe, a far cry from today's motor racing (2021). First actor James Dean died while pursuing a new career as a race car driver. The tragic Indianapolis 500 that claimed the life of Bill Vukovich, and then this that changed the face of Le Mans forever. Since that day, Le Mans changed and to this day they're still changing to make the 24 Hours of Le Mans the most prestigious endurance car race in the world.
