| The talented Belgian journalist-driver Paul Frère has just lost his Jaguar D-type on the slick road at the Esses on lap two clouting the banking. His teammate Jack Fairman has also done similarly, followed by Alfonso de Portago’s Ferrari. All three cars got going again, but only to retire at the end of the lap. About an hour later, the same corner and road conditions caught the Talbot Maserati of Jean Lucas and Geoffredo Zehender, followed later on by the Frazer-Nash driven by Richard Stoop and Tony Gaze. |
