The Explorers Club
№ CCXXXVII - Lorenzo Bandini (1935-1967), winner of the 1963 24 Heures du Mans & the only man ever to die from a crash during the Grand Prix de Monaco.







Bonus: The Lorenzo Bandini Trophy.

The Circuit de Monaco is almost unchanged from the first running of the grand prix in 1929 & during this year's Thursday practice, as a car passed the spot of Bandini's death, Speed commentator & former racing driver David Hobbs remarked upon the death of "poor old Bandini."

Denis Leary, "Asshole" from No Cure for Cancer (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: "I walk around in the summertime sayin', 'How about this heat?'" 90˚, man, & humidity to beat the band. How about this heat?
