Nial McCabe should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
1955 LeMans

I didn't see this mentioned here anywhere:

Obviously this week is the 71st anniversary of D-Day.

But another anniversary this week is the 60th anniversary of the tragedy at Le Mans 1955.

The BBC has marked the occasion by re-playing their 2010 interview with John Fitch:

John's home track was Lime Rock (nearby me). It's great to hear his voice again.

It certainly was, and I witnessed the Le Mans crash as a 17 year old. Then the terrible events at Dundrod made it a very black year indeed.
