And Colossally That's History! - Un podcast de The Race Media - Les jeudis
Catégories:
On this episode of the pod, Matt and Richard tell the remarkable story of Niki Lauda’s Monza comeback in 1976, which came just 40 days after the horrific F1 crash at the Nurburgring that nearly killed him. It was described at the time by Jackie Stewart as “the most courageous thing I’ve ever witnessed in sport” - and all these years later, the nature of the comeback remains unparalleled in sporting terms. Listen in as Matt and Richard reappraise the events of August and September of 1976 through a modern lens, with the usual blend of anecdotes and story-telling along the way. Want to go deeper?
