GP 1908 Ambience - 19080001

The 1908 Grand Prix season was the third Grand Prix racing season: an international economic recession affected motor-racing with fewer races and smaller fields. The French Grand Prix had a big field and this time Christian Lautenschlager in a Mercedes again denied the French a victory in their own race. The race was notable for tragic reasons. Henri Cissac's car lost a tyre and rolled, killing Cissac and Jules Schaube, his riding mechanic. This was the first fatal accident in Grand Prix history.
